About Coco

Think you are the one? Submit an application! Coco is a loving and loyal girl who thrives as the center of attention, especially with women. She needs slow introductions to new men, as she can be a bit cautious at first. Coco is known to be quite possessive of her favorite person and her food, so she will do best as the only pet in her new home. While she enjoys a backyard for running, her heart truly belongs indoors with her human companion. She travels well in the car, responds nicely to commands, and has a calm energy when she feels secure. Sometimes, Coco gets nervous and may develop a rash on her belly, but it fades as she relaxes. Although she has lived with other pets and attended doggie camp in the past, Coco now strongly prefers to be your one and only. Homes with small children are not a match for her sensitive nature. With a history of excellent care and lots of love, Coco is ready to be someone's devoted companion, blossoming in a patient, adult-only environment where she can truly shine. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
