Hello there! I'm Cole, your favorite puppy (I know that you tell all the puppies that, but I know that it's really me).
Do you love to play? You do? We have a lot in common already because I really love to play! It's one of my favorite things to do. I get to play with people, and I also love to play with my dog friends at the park.
But I'm not all about playing. I also love to curl up and sleep as close to the fireplace as possible. I'm not loving this cold weather and wet snow on my paws. So the fireplace is the perfect place warm up after a day of playing.
You are probably thinking, "Cole sounds awesome! How do I meet him!" And that's a great question. You can email my friend Joshua at JoshuaHTRescue@gmail.com to find out how to meet me, Cole, and how I can be a part of your family.
