About Coco

Lets make it official, apply to adopt! Meet Coco—a 4-year-old boxer mix, weighing around 55 pounds and overflowing with love and snuggles. She’s a true people dog, always ready for cuddles, head scratches, or simply sitting together while you remind her she's a good girl. Those soulful eyes promise loyalty and affection, making her the perfect companion for someone searching for a loving friend. Coco has made canine pals, especially with smaller dogs, showing that she can fit into a home with other pups if introductions are slow and gentle. She is crate trained, walks beautifully on leash, and travels calmly in the car. She does display some food guarding, but with patience and a little understanding, it can be managed—her past has made her careful about meals, but she's eager to learn that good things now come reliably. Coco hasn’t met children or cats, so her feelings toward them are still a mystery. She might be housebroken but could have accidents if left alone all night, so a household where someone can let her out before bedtime would be ideal. Her dream home includes a fenced yard or a secure area, daily leash walks, and, above all, loving humans who want her close. This sweet girl comes spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines and monthly preventatives. With her loyal boxer heart and loving nature, Coco is eager to end her 'temporary stay' and settle into a forever home where she’s cherished. If you’re seeking a devoted, snuggly friend, Coco’s waiting for you. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
