Cole came into the Newtown SPCA at the age of 5 months and is now 7 months old. He is described on the website as a Huntaway Cross, but he is completely Tan and has a a huge notch taken out of his left ear, evidence of abuse from his previous life?

He was under protective custody for the first few weeks at the shelter until he was officially surrendered.

Personality wise he gets along really great which many of the dogs, he especially likes to hang with the younger pups  like Ted, or Veronica.

With all of the dogs at the SPCA right now, I have to admit I have only had the chance to work with Cole a couple of times in the weeks that he has been living in the kennels. Both times we have trained together he has been attentive, interested, but not pushy at all. He sits beautifully and seems very patient. He also has keen eyes that seem to look straight into your head! It isn’t a hard stare, but a look that seems to see into your soul. It almost makes me think I am looking at a Dingo or some sort of wild animal, except that he is so gentle and loves to just sit together and watch the world pass by.

He is going to be a tall dog no doubt, but not a big dog, he is leggy and graceful.

He is not doing well in the kennel environment because he is so social that he just wants to be with people, and interact. I don’t think he would need his new home to have someone there all the time, but someone who didn’t work full time would probably be best unless he was going to a multi-dog home.
