My story

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

GENTLE GIANT. Those are the two words that spring to mind when describing me. The scale may say 95 pounds, but itandamp;#39;s all in my heart. Whatandamp;#39;s cheaper than a therapy session? Walking me on a leash. Even the small girls at the shelter us me as their Zen session on a walk. andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;m a sweet, loving dog with a personality that shines once you get to know me. Iandamp;#39;m a quick learner and know all my commands-sit, stay, lay down-you name it, Iandamp;#39;ve got it covered. Iandamp;#39;m also a dream to walk on a leash; Iandamp;#39;ve got my manners down pat, so strolls together will be a breeze.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Iandamp;#39;d do best in a home with older kids who can understand and appreciate my gentle, yet sometimes cautious, nature. Itandamp;#39;s really important to me that I meet everyone in the household before we make things official-I want to make sure that we all click and that everyone feels comfortable. I would prefer to be the only pet in the home, I love all the attention I can get!andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;What Iandamp;#39;m really looking for is a family that will love me unconditionally, just as I will love them. Iandamp;#39;ve got so much love to give, and Iandamp;#39;m ready to share it with the right people. Could that be you? If you think we might be a good fit, Iandamp;#39;d love to meet you and show you just how special I am. Are you my happily ever after?andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;Love from Cole

Adoption Requirements:
- Adopter must be 18 years of age or older.
- Adopters must complete a survey and present photo identification to meet any of our animals.
- For the safety and health of our animals, we do not ship pets.
- Pet adoption fees range from $60 to $350. Our adoption fees help to offset the cost of evaluation, housing, feeding and medical care for the thousands of animals needing our help. We do our best to keep our adoption prices reasonable while generating income to support our goal of caring for animals available for adoption until we can place them in a loving home. The adoption fee for each animal varies and is dependent on many factors including: age, size, behavior, medical condition, and public demand.
