Cole

About This Dog for Adoption

Cole's ideal home

Charming Cole is a 3 year old Labrador X Springer Spaniel. He is looking for a patient and understanding home who can help him build his confidence. Cole will need to be the only pet in the home; he has met dogs at the centre and would benefit from some further socialisation with dogs outside of the home when settled. Due to his nervous behaviour, Cole would be best suited to a home where the youngest family member is 16+. Cole would love a reasonably sized, secure garden of his own where he can play and relax while he is building his confidence with the outside world. He can jump quite high so a minimum of 6 ft fencing is advised. Cole was used to being left in his previous home and could have leaving hours introduced once settled.

Could you be Cole's perfect match?

Cole is such a lovely boy, he can be worried initially and takes a little while to trust you but once he does, you start to see his playful nature. Cole LOVES toys and can grumble if he feels you are going to take a toy from him, he will happily swap anything for a tasty treat (he is a real foodie!) and so items can easily be swapped to avoid him developing any guarding behaviours. Cole can be worried by veterinary handling, he is doing well with this at the centre but will need to be muzzled as a precaution if any invasive handling is required in future. Cole was used to living outside in his last home so may need help adjusting to home life but he is excited to enjoy some home comforts, he enjoys snoozing in his bed or watching the world go by.

With a family willing to help him build his confidence and take things slow initially we just know he will blossom into a wonderful companion.
