About Coco Miranda

Coco Miranda is a small West Highland White Terrier mix based in Saunderstown, RI, around three years old and weighing about 10 lbs. He’s a scrappy little companion with an obvious preference for calm, laid-back folks, especially men—Coco is a classic dude’s dog who thrives in a mellow home. He's had it a bit rough somewhere along the way and tends to be cautious around new people, but if you give him time (and plenty of patience), he settles in. Coco is content to curl up under blankets, nap in bed next to his favorite guy, and chase balls in his downtime. He’d rather skip the bath and lean into that tousled Westie look—after all, he recently needed a little sedation to get groomed. Kids with high energy aren’t his scene, but Coco’s a good match for an adult household, especially if you love lazy Sundays watching sports with a furry friend at your side. He’s recently been neutered, had dental care, and his vaccinations are up to date. Coco gets along with other dogs and appreciates a gentle, patient adopter who’s willing to go at his pace. If what you’re after is an old-soul terrier who will quietly join you on the couch and sneak a snack from your bowl, Coco might be your guy. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
