About Coco

Coco is searching for a fresh start after landing back at the shelter following her original adoption. She’s a Husky/Pit Bull Terrier mix with a brindle coat streaked with brown and white, and she craves a spot in a family that will stick with her. Coco bonds closely with her people and wants nothing more than to be involved in daily family life—it’s just her nature to be loyal and affectionate. However, she’s known to be a bit of an escape artist, so a secure yard or vigilant household is a must for her safety. Coco isn’t a good fit for homes with cats, as she tends to chase them. She gets along with other dogs and children, making her a good candidate for active households without feline companions. Her adoption fee is $50, and she comes spayed, up to date on booster and rabies vaccinations, microchipped, flea-treated, dewormed, and heartworm negative. Coco’s been through enough changes and deserves a place where she’ll be safe and cherished. Click apply to start the adoption process.
