Meet the funny and friendly Coby! Coby came to us as a stray, so we do not have any history for him. Estimated to be around 3 years old, Coby is a typical hound who loves to follow his nose! He is a talkative boy, who is not afraid to let you know when he wants something! Coby is extremely friendly and has a happy-go-lucky personality. He loves to be with people, and is very food motivated, which should make him easy to train. Coby seems to really like other dogs, but would like to meet any potential furry siblings. Already neutered, microchipped and vaccinated, this happy boy is looking for his new best friend! If that could be you, apply today! Visit Coby at the Venango County Humane Society from noon to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
