The Humane Society of Washington County is pleased to share some of the wonderful stories we have received about the animals we have adopted from our facility. We hope you enjoy the following story:

Cole

He loves my dog Honey, and Honey loves him. They will sit with each other. Cole also likes my New Zealand rabbit Malibu. Right now they just sniff each other. He loves all the toys and space that he has now. We are still looking for a large dog crate for him. He has stopped pulling out his hair, and he will let us brush him. He loves to be held and cuddled. He especially loves to sit on my dad’s stomach and watch TV. He is very calm and lovable. Cole also loves to go for rides, my sister and I found this out by taking him to the vets. He is one of the best rabbits I have ever had. My family and I will keep you informed on Cole. Also, Honey thinks it is another puppy. I will send more pictures when I get them.

Thanks,
Brandy
