  — steven m.

  — Cindy D.

• “Coal is my daughter’s dog. We have him whenever she travels for work months at a time. He LOVES to play fetch and will play until he is exhausted. Balls are his main motivator and focus.“

  — Hope F.

• “I’m still a young pup needing to get in some exercise and out some energy but I’m not always so sure about all of the rambunctious dogs at the local parks. I’d rather just hang out with a few well mannered pups like me. Can I come play?“

  — Adam D.

• “My name is coal. I’m a coonhound mix. My mommy Adopted me 2 months ago and I’m trying to figure life out now that I’m in a safe place. I have real bad anxiety and I’m even scared of my own shadow, but if you meet me I’m just the most loving dog you will ever meet. I was hit by a car in December so sometimes I limp but I’m harmless. I love attention and treats!“

  — DeAnna S.

• “Coal is a 5-year-old Goldendoodle and a total attention hog—in the best way. If you’re petting him, playing with him, or even just resting a hand on him, he’s in heaven. He’s obsessed with playing fetch and is an absolute ball hog. He also has a habit of stealing toys from his big brother, Logan, just because he can. Despite his size, Coal is a big softie who has no idea how big he is and would happily climb into your lap if you let him.“

  — Victoria C.

• “Hi there! My name is Coal, and I’m a lovable and energetic pup who lives to play fetch – ball is life! I love people, especially if they want to give me attention; that will really get my butt wiggling. Swimming is my second favorite pastime besides playing fetch. I've been around other dogs since I was a little pup (12 weeks old) so I can hang with any crowd as long as they are nice and like to play fetch. I'm not one for drama; I just like to have fun and enjoy life. Woof! Coal 🐾“

  — Erika K.

• “Hey there, I’m Coal! I’m the oldest and wisest in the house (and proud of it). I’m part Pitbull, part German Shepherd, part Lab—basically a perfect blend of muscle, brains, and cuddle power. I’ve been with Mom for a long time now, and she’s my whole world. Life was pretty relaxed until this scrappy little pup named Scarlett wandered into our yard. She was in rough shape, but Mom took her in and helped her heal—because that’s just what she does. Now Scarlett’s part of the pack, and yeah… I guess she’s grown on me (even if she hogs the attention sometimes). I run a tight ship around here—guarding the yard, watching the squirrels, and reminding everyone who the goodest boy is. Spoiler: still me.“

  — Colleen S.

• “I love food, all food, and my food and others food. Im a big head with a bigger heart and I am loyal to a fault. I must be near my humans all the time, in case they need me. There is no such thing as too much love. There is no such thing as being too close. I love my sister and my brother is ok but annoying. I would like to have all the humans to myself but if I must share... Sigh.. I will. Balls are my life. If I have a ball I am all good and I make sure to let my Mom and Dad know how much I love them and my ball by slobbering all over it. And then tearing it to shreds. I love my ball. I can still play catch for hpurs but I am slower and get more tired nowadays.“

  — Jennifer M.
