Flat Coated Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption

Cole is a very handsome 1 year old, 60 pound flat-coat retriever mix (our best guess!) He is thriving in his foster home—soaking up the company of friendly resident dogs and all the love from his doting foster parents. He's a happy, friendly, well-rounded guy with a wonderful temperament.

Cole is ready for his next chapter—one filled with safety, love, and a forever family of his own. He would be happiest in a home with another friendly confident dog, a home with fenced yard and owner home more than not.



To meet Cole in person visit us at www.dsda.org/adopt and submit our online adoption application.
