About Coco Courtesy Listing

Coco is a 2-year-old purebred Border Collie in Richmond, VA, and captures everything people appreciate about the breed—quick-witted, affectionate, eager, and endlessly energetic. After losing her owner, Coco’s life shifted quickly. Most of her early years were spent close to home, so while she missed out on broader socialization, her bond with people runs deep. Her world clicked around yard play, using a basketball to channel her energy and herding drive—she’s a little nutty for her ball. Now staying with a trusted family friend, she’s showing off just how adaptable and capable she is. In just days, Coco figured out fetch, polished her leash manners, comes when called, sits, and waits at doorways. Recently, she discovered swimming and dove right in, loving every second. Coco thrives on people and bonds fast. She’s best matched with adults or families with older, dog-savvy kids due to her limited experience with children. With new dogs, Coco can be nervous and she’s happiest as the only dog for now, soaking in undivided attention. With patience and an experienced hand, she may very well open up to dog friends in time. She is looking for an active home with someone who understands Border Collie needs—daily activity, mental games, and partnership. She’s already spayed and up to date on shots. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who just needs the chance to blossom, Coco is ready for her next chapter. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
