Cole is a 30-pound, 9-year-old boxer mix. (Think of him as a mini-boxer.)  He is a gem of a dog. He has a goofy personality and loves everyone at first meeting. Cole has been through a ton of transitions that we know about. In a few short weeks, he was found loose, surrendered by his family when they were located, and then kept in several different temporary settings. You would never know any of this from meeting him. He is a calm and trusting pal right away. He is sturdy, gentle and would likely be great with kids. He LOVES toys and constantly has a ball in his mouth. He is living peaceably with four other dogs. While liking to hang out on the couch, he is also active and agile and loves to go for walks. He does pull on his leash and will need some work in that area. He is fully housetrained and perfect in the car.

Cole neutered, and up to date on his shots. We are arranging a dental cleaning as he has some tartar build up. He is snuggly and likes to sleep with humans at night and has been reported to not be good in a crate. He is a barker when he hears an unfamiliar noise, other dogs bark, or sees a pedestrian pass by so would not be good apartment dog and would need to spend time in a part of home where there were few of these stimulants when he needs to be quiet. He also has a hunting instinct – he is a squirrel chaser and champion house fly catcher—and very likely is not good with cats.

Cole will reward anyone who takes him for the next chapter of his life. He is being fostered in Somerville, MA and his adoption fee is $275. If you are interested in adopting, please go to Alldogrescue.com and fill out an application.
