My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hunk Alert! This hunk of love is sweet cuddly Cole! Doesn't he look like a huggable loveable? Cole is an approximately 5 year old, 60 poundish, black tri color, bobtailed Aussie boyo. Foster Mom says joyful super duper 'so happy to see you' whole body wiggles are a Cole speciality! Cole came to the rescue from a breeding situation. He likely spent a lot of time outside and is waiting for the One who will give him the happy home and hearth he deserves. The handsome hunk has lots of hugs and heart to share. Cole knows his house manners. He enjoys being outdoors. The happy boy adores zig-zag zoomies in the fenced yard with his calm and playful fur fellows. After some run around fun, Cole is ready for downtime dozing and cozy cuddling. He's definitely a My Person pup. He doesn't get felines-the're odd mannered. He's just a little wary of the them and tends to avoid the foster home kitties. It's a live and let them situation. The boy is pretty near perfect. Cole's a typical Aussie aussome-medium energy, with a lot of smarts and spirit. The key to his cool Coleness-always happy, happy, HAPPY to see the ones who have earned his heart. He's just a hunk of love looking for his One. Cole needed a few weeks to decompress when he first came to Foster Mom. She gave him space and time to observe his surroundings. His crate is his haven when things get a bit overwhelming-too many things going on, too much noise. He would growl a bit, but his Foster family understood. Consistency, gentle coaxing, treats and even some 'Good Boy' wooing and cooing helped him feel more confident and secure. The Person who decides they're meant for Cole will have a patient, optimistic, and positive mindset-ready to give him time and training. Cole deserves to be Someone's 'Good Boy'. When his trust is won, the reward is a loyal companion, sidekick and a lifetime of sweetness and snuggles. Cole's Forever After? Cole doesn't need much and deserves the best. Folks looking for a friend to keep them company, a companion to hang out with in the backyard or have near while streaming, will love Cole. Cole would do best with a calm and confident canine mate to share life with and learn dog ways from. Kiddos 10 and up who respect dogs well, will appreciate Cole. A fenced in back yard is best as, especially in early days, the pooch needs a secure place to go to and be active in. Cole should have easy access to a crate to retreat in, especially during decompression and transition. Multiresidential buildings (such as apartments) are not a good fit for this pup. Our adopters give their new family member time to decompress, grow familiar with the new environment/routine and invest time to train. They're committed to slow monitored introductions with new people, especially children, other animals, and places. The Colester wiggled by to say: 'I'm ready to be by your side Forever. I'mma hunk of love!' Is this sweetheart meant to be your Good Boy? If so, please fill out an application at the link below to be considered as a possible adopter. (Only COMPLETELY answered applications will be considered.) https://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/dDNce9yr0ChU0F -Fostered in Greater Cincinnati area-20 minutes away in Boone County, KY *Read the bio carefully. Priority will be given to instate or border state approved adopters for Cole. Adoption Fee: $350
