About Cole

Cole is a resilient shelter survivor who’s quickly won over his foster mom with his calm confidence and big heart. He’s a Labrador Retriever mix with striking bicolor markings and an easy-going attitude. Cole walks beautifully on a leash and fits right in with a pack of dogs every day; he gets along with other pups and tends to ignore cats, making him a relaxed companion in mixed-animal households. At around 3.5 years old, he’s still full of youthful energy and thrives on daily exercise and stimulation. Cole could easily enjoy life as an only dog, but he’d also love sharing a home with a canine friend or two. He’s up to date on vaccinations, neutered, and fully house trained. Cole would do best with adopters willing to commit to him for life and who can provide consistent activity and affection. He’s currently in New York, NY and ready to meet his forever people.
