Mr. Coal has the gorgeous shiny coat of a black lab with white markings on his chest, feet, and the tip of his tail. He looks at you with his lab/pittie hybrid face and soulful amber eyes.

Mr. Coal has plenty of exuberant puppy energy, but will calm right down after a run in the yard. He LOVES all people and all the cuddles they dole out. He's great with any dog and has no problem playing submissive to a wannabe alpha (like with his foster dog-brother, Liam). He's a total sweetheart at his core and and He's a total sweetheart and incredibly smart (he readily picks up new commands, and he already has learned "Sit", "Stay", "Off!", and "Lie down"). Mr. Coal is very food motivated and so easy to train, and is crate-trained and house-trained. He would make the perfect addition to any active family.

IAR subsidizes post-adoption professional training with Jane Marshall (www.cheerydogs.com) to encourage a life-long and successful bond between the dog and the adopter. Group classes for puppies and adult dogs are provided at a substantial discount to IAR adopters.
