About Coco

Coco is a sweet brindle Plott Hound and terrier mix who brought her spunky spirit from a rural animal control into rescue. Her short, shiny coat is perfect for daily walks — which she adores and expects as part of her routine. With an affectionate streak and a definite craving for attention, Coco thrives as a devoted house companion. At about 7 years old and a 'go everywhere' size, she's easy to handle but still energetic. She doesn't do well with cats, so a feline-free home is a must. Coco also needs someone who can leash walk her, since she can easily scale a backyard fence if left alone. If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick to share daily outings and cozy evenings, Coco fits the bill. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
