Very special little guy. Cole-man seems to be waiting for a great home to discover him. I think he is the nicest dog out there
He was my foster for 2 months before being transferred and I love him dearly. Cole has the best temperament, has no handling issues, is very smart and has the softest loose fur and squishy face. He is also a busy boy -more than average- and engages with his toys and the other home dogs much of the day, ( unless napping) so even though he is chill and loves to snuggle, he needs someone who will give him lots of attention! He is a fascinating mix of breeds. (see below dna chart) ps- if you adopt, I can pet sit him if needed
UPDATE 9/3/2024 COLEMAN is NOW Available for adoption at West Columbia Gorge Humane Society
Now in a foster home with WCGHS
Coleman at West Columbia Gorge HS
=====================================
Cole is a love! so affectionate, funny and full of a zest for life. He will test your patience, fulfill your yen for training; will entertain you with his antics, and delight you with his affection. Everyone who meets Coleman, likes him!
Cole is not a dog for someone who wants a dog who just lays in the corner and is satisfied with a walk and a few good meals a day. He's looking for a buddy who is home more than not, someone who enjoys funny dogs and their personalities, and can give training /guidance - but not take away Cole's silliness and love for life. He deserves a good home that is able to continue to provide him with good care
When he feels secure with the routine, Cole can also be a mellow and chill guy. He has a great temperament!
Cole
is not a dog for very young children or sedentary older folks. Nor is
he a good match with a really rowdy assertive dog as he can get
overwhelmed is he is pushed too hard- at least until he gets to know the
other dog well. He's not a dog for someone who lacks patience and
expects strict obedience (what fun is that?) But he IS a dog for those
who have alot of love for dogs with lots of personality and charm.
notes: He usually takes treats very gently, HOWEVER - he once or twice grabbed for a treat or hand held toy very hard and with young children that would be a problem. Cole also is very physical(can be pushy)and wants to roll around or play - and can get mouthy -when you are on the floor at his level - and this could be a problem with little kids)
Cats
- he hasn't met any actual cats in foster, (and any history with them
is unknown) but he showed a distinct fear towards a stuffed cat "decoy"
when he was brought into the same room with one. If someone were savvy
and proceeded patiently, slowly and gently introducing him to a cat
(taking more than one session to do this) it is possible he could
become comfortable and live with a savvy cat and not be afraid of it-
if people expected immediate results, and pushed too hard, he could go
in the other direction

Cole is an adorable, energetic pup who is around 1 year old. With his
squishy face, floppy ears, dark brindle coat, and a charming blue
tongue, he's sure to steal your heart!
Cole was once a stray who had a rough start, but thanks to love and
care, he's now a healthy, happy boy. He forms strong bonds and is super
affectionate-massages are his favorite! While he can be a bit "pushy"
for attention, a simple "sit" can help him settle down. Plus, he's a
fetch enthusiast and loves playing with his toys.
Though house-training took some time, Cole is now reliable with regular
potty breaks, and with a regular schedule he will do great! He thrives
in a home with another dog to keep him company.
Cole enjoys walks and has gained confidence on a leash, especially with a
buddy. He can be vocal at times, particularly during meals or when
crated, but settles down quickly.
This playful pup is curious and loves to explore, so it's best to keep
belongings out of reach. He can be rambunctious in the evenings, making
walks a great way to burn off some energy.
With a mix of breeds-think Lab, Pug, and Chow-Cole is one-of-a-kind!
He's looking for a patient, loving home that can give him the attention
he craves. If you're ready for endless love and companionship, consider
adopting Cole today! 🐾❤️
In a fun twist, his foster mom even did a DNA test-prepare to be
surprised by the results! If you're ready to welcome a playful, loving,
and sometimes silly friend into your home, this good boy is waiting for
you!
Cole was very afraid in the shelter
