Meet Coral, a beautiful one-year-old (estimated) Hound/Shepherd mix with a gentle soul and a heart that just needs a little time to bloom. Coral’s journey began back in November when she and her devoted canine companion, Marsh, were found as strays near Conesville. Though they were never claimed by an owner, they were lucky enough to be taken in by kind finders who cared for them deeply. While their finders loved them, they weren't able to keep them long-term because their resident dog didn't quite see eye-to-eye with the duo. Now, Coral is looking for a fresh start with a family of her own.

As a young Hound/Shepherd blend, Coral is a thoughtful girl who is still finding her footing in the world. While her buddy Marsh is more of the "social butterfly", Coral has shown to be a bit more cautious. She has already began to blossom into a sweet, loving girl so we know once she is in a home setting surrounded by lots of love and patience, she will continue to let her true self shine!

She is a sensitive girl who appreciates a gentle, patient approach while she settles in, but her sweet nature is evident to everyone who meets her. She is already spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all her vaccinations.

Please complete an online adoption application for Coral if you're interested in adopting! This application is found on our website at www.wesavepets.com. A Safe Haven volunteer will be in contact once the application has been submitted
