Coal’s Story

Coal / Male / Approx 11 months / 25 lbs / Beagle Cross / Good with Dogs / Untested with Kids / Untested with Cats / From Tennessee / Fostered in Toronto

Meet Coal! Coal's foster describes him as affectionate, playful, sweet, and energetic

He came to us after he was surrendered with his siblings to a shelter, and then pulled by our partner rescue in Tennessee.

Despite having a bit of a rough start, Coal is a happy go lucky guy. He loves to play, and go for walks, but also loves napping and is always up for a good cuddle.

He is friendly and warm with all people and dogs, and loves making new friends. Sometimes he gets a little too excited and jumps up to give a lick, but he’s still a puppy and working on his manners. Coal has not yet been tested with children but his foster believes he would do very well with dog savvy kids.

As Coal’s mom was a Beagle-he loves to follow his nose. He’s a great walker and currently gets 3/30 minute walks per day. He pulls a bit when he gets excited, but it’s mostly when he wants to say hi to someone. This is something he is working on. He’s a very good boy and has already gotten the hang of the commands “no”, and “stay”. In addition to walks, this clever boy thrives with lots of enrichment activities like lick mats, puzzles, and training. He is aaaalmost there with potty training, and will require some support when he moves into his forever home.

Coal has been left alone for up to 4 hours and does very well. When his fosters leave the house, they always make sure to walk him first and provide toys or puzzles so he settles well in the crate. When not crated, he lays down and waits for his fosters at the front door.

At night time, Coal sleeps in a crate where he can see his people. As long as he is next to them, he relaxes and sleeps comfortably.

Coal also does very well in the car and would make a good road trip buddy!

Prior to coming into care, Coal tested positive for Anaplasma which is a tick-borne infection and is not contagious. A CBC was performed to see if there is an active infection. Coal 's CBC came back indicating that there is no active infection however it is recommended that Anaplasma positive dogs get an annual blood test to monitor and that pre-op blood work including a CBC test and platelet count be performed before any surgeries or dental extractions.
