Wonderful family dog, free to great home

13 yr old wont take care of or play with dog that he just HAD to have. So looking for a great home with kids over 3 years old for wonderful animal. Needs to have fenced yard and active family. Cole is 4 years old, fixed, 60 pound short haired mutt (poss part Ridgeback). Loves kids over 3, walks/runs, chasing squeaky balls and car rides. Scared of thunder and staircases. Fully house trained and basic commands. Will have to have visit to make sure ur family is a good match for him
