Meet Cole, a striking 2.5-year-old Lab/Pit mix who weighs a sturdy 60 lbs. He is in the absolute prime of his life—past the puppy chewing phase but packed with all the energy and heart for a lifetime of adventures.<br/><br/>Cole has come a long way during his time at the shelter. While the crowded kennel environment makes him eager to get out and stretch his legs, the moment he hits the trail, his true, incredible personality shines through.<br/><br/>🌟 The "Why We Love Him" List<br/><br/>• The Trail Master: If you love hiking, running, or exploring, Cole is your guy. He has a beautiful, natural focus on the leash and handles outdoor adventures like a pro once he gets moving.<br/>• The Professional Cuddler: Cole is a total "leaner." Once he knows and trusts you, he will gently press his head against your knee or lean his weight against you just to say, “I’m so glad you’re my human.”<br/>• Smart & Resilient: Cole is eager to please and thrives on routine. He has a lot of love to give and just needs a dedicated person to help him fully shine.<br/>• Vetted & Ready: Cole is already neutered, heartworm negative, and fully up-to-date on all vaccinations. He is ready to pack his bags and head home today!<br/><br/>🏡 Cole’s Ideal Forever Home<br/><br/>Cole is looking for an active household that understands that the best friendships are built on a little bit of routine and patience. Because he is so full of life and joy, his perfect match looks like:<br/>• Active Adults or Families with Teens: Cole gets incredibly excited to see people and will jump up to say hello when he's ready for a walk. Because of this joyful, high-energy greeting, he’d do best in a home without small children, but he would be a fantastic buddy for teenagers!<br/>• A Cat-Free Castle: Cole has a high prey drive, which means he is looking for a feline-free home where he can focus all his attention on you.<br/>• Proper Dog Introductions: Cole can be selective with his canine friends. He is open to having a dog sibling, but he requires respectful, slow introductions to ensure a perfect match.<br/>• A Yard to Play In: A fenced yard where he can burn off his energy and play a legendary game of fetch would be his absolute dream come true.<br/><br/>📝 A Quick Note on First Impressions<br/><br/>If you come meet Cole at the shelter, you might see his "pogo stick" impression in the kennel. Don’t let it fool you! That is just a smart, athletic young dog experiencing a little bit of kennel cabin fever. The second he is out on a leash, that frantic energy melts away, and he transforms into a focused, eager-to-please companion. He will settle beautifully once he is in a stable, quiet home environment.<br/><br/>📊 The Stats:<br/>• Age: 2.5 Years<br/>• Breed: Labrador Retriever & Pit Bull Terrier Mix<br/>• Weight: 60 lbs<br/>• Personality: Playful, resilient, affectionate, and outdoor-loving.<br/><br/>⏱️ Cole is Waiting For You!<br/><br/>Cole has been at the shelter for a while now, and space is urgently needed. He is a truly wonderful dog who just needs someone to see past the kennel walls and give him the chance he deserves.<br/><br/>Let's get Cole out of the shelter and into the life he was meant to live! 💌 Inquire today to meet him: h4mpounddogs@gmail.com<br/><br/>*Our ADOPTION fee is $100
