About ⁕ Coco

Coco is an 11-month-old, 26-pound boxer mix with a soft brown and white short coat and an easy warmth about her. Playful and brimming with energy, she latches onto people quickly—kids and adults alike—and fills every room with her big, gentle spirit. She’s reliable when it comes to house training and is picking up leash skills fast. Rescued after being abandoned in a hospital parking lot, Coco bounced right back, soaking up affection and learning the ropes in her foster home. Toys, cuddles, and close companionship set her tail wagging, and she thrives in an environment with regular activity and engagement. Coco gets along well with other dogs and welcomes new faces with open-hearted enthusiasm, always up for playtime or curling up for a nap close by. She’s healthy, easy to motivate, and ready for a family that can keep up with her joyful, curious energy. Coco is currently being advocated for through a courtesy listing and is not under the direct care or evaluation of Rancho Coastal Humane Society. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
