Coates was picked up as a stray in the south and brought to an overcrowded shelter. Although he waited patiently for his family to come and claim him, when no one stepped forward Coates found himself in a scary predicament. With an overwhelming number of dogs entering the shelter on a daily basis, there were not enough openings. Fortunately, shelter staff work very hard to reach out for help hoping to save as many lives as possible. When we heard that Coates needed help as soon as possible, MAGSR stepped forward to welcome him to the family. 

Coates is a friendly and affectionate guy. He enjoys the company of people as well as other dogs. Although Coates has clearly been well socialized with people, it appears that he was likely left outside most of his life. As a result, many of the basic ins and outs of household life are unknown to him. Recognizing that Coates will need to gain experience within everyday indoor experiences, our volunteers are working with him to help him learn basic concepts, such as stairs and doors. Coates is looking for a household that will provide him structure, routine, and leadership. He will need a little time to adjust to living in a home. However, we know that with time and patience, he will develop into an incredible canine citizen. Training is essential for Coates. Not only will it help him develop a strong and healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him increase his confidence. Coates is looking for a loving forever family that will help him learn the joys of a soft, warm bed, regular meals, and plenty of cuddles.
