**Meet Cola — The Boy With the Bravest Heart and the Brightest Smile**
Just look at that face—wide, warm eyes full of hope, a tongue-out grin that could light up a room, and a blue bandana that matches his sweet, gentle spirit. This is Cola. He’s about 1½ years old, and while his story started out tough, his heart has never stopped believing in the goodness of people. Cola is a parvo survivor, a quiet warrior who overcame the odds as a puppy. He’s spent more than a year in the kennels, watching other dogs find their families while he waits for someone to finally choose *him*. But you’d never know it from his joyful energy and endless love. He **adores** people—he’ll lean into you just to be a little closer. Hiking buddy? He’s ready. Long walk at sunset? He’s in. Couch time with belly rubs? His favorite. Cola is a Velcro dog at heart, happiest when he’s near the ones he loves. He’s dog-selective and tends to do best with gentle female dogs. But humans? He gives them his whole heart—no hesitation, no conditions. Cola isn’t just looking for a home. He’s waiting for *his* person. The one who will look into those honey-brown eyes and say, “You belong with me.” He’s been overlooked long enough. Let’s make this the moment his forever finally begins. Cola also had an outing to a assistant living home. He was a hit!
**Come meet Cola. Let him show you what resilience, joy, and unconditional love really look like.**
