About Coco

Your new best friend is just one click away. Coco is incredibly charismatic and brings a dazzling sparkle everywhere she goes with her gorgeous blue eyes and bright smile. This darling girl was recently returned to our rescue due to unforeseeable and understandable changes in her family’s life. She is settling back into the shelter environment but would much rather be in a home. Returning to a shelter can be stressful, yet Coco surprised us by recognizing a staff member she hadn’t seen in six years and immediately showing her affectionate, relaxed side, gently placing her paws on their chest as if to say she remembered and felt safe. Coco is a smart, well cared for dog in great physical condition. She was returned with all of her vaccines up to date and it’s clear she has been loved. She is around seven years old now, still athletic and capable, but likely ready for a slightly calmer pace than her younger years. If you’re open to giving a devoted dog a wonderful next chapter, Coco would be incredibly grateful. And we would be, too. She knows sit, roll over, heel, down, knows her name. House-trained. She is a lovely girl who leans in for pets and affection. Age: 7 years Weight: 63 Other dogs: previously lived with large male dogs. She is sometimes selective. We do dog intros for all of our potential adopters. Cats: No Children: Presumed to do well. Can be excitable when meeting new people but is a very sweet girl. Ready to fall in love?
