Colton is the complete package! Such a handsome gentle giant. He is a 3 yr old male Redbone Coonhound/American FoxHound mix that weighs 94 lbs. He came into the Mesquite Animal Shelter as a stray on 5/7 with another dog. This wonderful boy was definitely someone's pet as he is clean, very well mannered, and housetrained. He walks fantastic on a leash and takes treats gently. He enjoys walking close to his human companions and will look up at you with a big smile on his face. Being petted, given hugs and kisses, he truly enjoys it. He spent time investigating the shelter yard, and didn't show an interest in the other dogs barking as we walked through the shelter. Colton needs to be in a loving home environment, not an apartment, where he has his own secured backyard, a fluffy dog bed inside or he can cuddle with you on the couch watching a favorite TV show. You could not ask for a better companion. He is a volunteer favorite! Come spend time with him and you will understand why we have fallen for him
