About Cocoa A

Cocoa A is a charming little dog, perfect for snuggling on anyone's lap. At around 7 years old, he brings a friendly spirit and a warm personality. Cocoa is heartworm positive, but don’t worry—his treatment will be covered once he's adopted and settled into his new home. As Cocoa was never claimed by his original owner, he’s looking for a loving place to call home. He'll need regular grooming to keep him looking his best, and while he isn’t house trained just yet, with patience and care, he can learn. It's important to note that all adopted animals will need to be spayed or neutered before going home. Adoptions work on a first-come, first-served basis, and no prior application is required. If you're interested, simply provide his identification number that starts with A. Cocoa A is ready to find his forever family—could that be you?
