Dog Rescue Mission at the Pin Chin Sky Loop

Awww! I'm so glad y'all found him and gave him a good home. Looks to be a great trail dog.

I can't wait to take him back on the trail! He is a very active dog so I'm sure he is ready too!

Hi there, I’m pretty sure that’s “Coal” - that’s what we called the dog we found at Clairmont Gap on 4/26. He hiked (or led) me and two friends 6+ miles to Adam’s Gap. We were thru hiking the Pinhoti and couldn’t take him with us to the hostel that night. The hostel owner from Talladega said she was pretty confident he had a home in the area. Especially because he had a collar and seemed clean and well cared for even though he was skinny. We were literally in tears to leave him because he’s such a sweet pup, but she told us that lots of people in the area have dogs that just roam and we hoped he’d find his way home. IDK if someone was missing him or if he had a microchip. I know he wasn’t neutered. If he was truly a lost pup, sounds like he’s lucky to have found a good home.

I got him checked for a chip and he did not have one. I can say he has a great home now! He has gotten so much bigger

[@JoyfulRambler]

That’s good to hear! All three of us were worried sick about him, we hated to leave him.

​@JoyfulRambler it's understandable though! But worry no more, he is in good hands now! And hopefully will hit the trail soon
