About Coco

Coco is a chocolate Lab, about a year and a half old, who came in as an owner surrender for reasons unrelated to her own behavior. She’s sweet, though shy when first meeting new people. Weighing in at around 65 lbs, Coco has lived much of her life outdoors and hasn’t learned house manners yet, so she’ll need patience as she adjusts to a home environment. She has done well with both dogs and goats in her previous life. She hasn’t met cats before, so a careful, gradual introduction will be needed. Coco is already microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. Her spay appointment is scheduled for June 2nd. She’s eager to find a loving family that can give her a chance to blossom in a real home.
