About Coal:
Coal loves walks, listens well, and is very treat-motivated. He’s the kind of dog who would thrive in a calm, steady home.

He’s been patiently waiting for a home since October 2024, hoping for someone who appreciates his loyal and gentle nature.

Dog-Friendly?
Coal can walk past other dogs if reminded to “leave it,” but he prefers not to socialize. He’d be happiest as the only pet in the home.

Cat-Friendly?
No, he hasn’t tested well with cats.
