Story
Coleman is sweet and happy and guessed to be a Foxhound mix pup, around 14 months old, who sadly, along with his siblings were dumped, and left to starve in TX. He is doing great now and weighs almost 50 pounds!! Coleman enjoys the company of other dog, and kids, will do best in a home with another medium sized friendly, playful dog. He will bark/cry if crated while you are in the house, so he will need some work on crate training. He will need patience and training. He's very inquisitive and very kind, and he loves when you give him kisses on the side of his face. He enjoys being with his human and will follow you around, just like a puppy does. He is cat curious, but not aggressive toward cats. He will need a 6' fence in his future home, if there is a yard for him. When you meet him you'll see what a great dog he is!
