Cocoa has found temporary safety in foster care, but he cannot return to the shelter. This gentle boy is urgently seeking a permanent home. Cocoa's journey began with pain; he arrived with a chain embedded in his neck. Despite his past, he's incredibly affectionate and yearns for love. Living in a kennel was overwhelming for him. Cocoa showed stress and fear, concealing his true self. However, being in a foster home allowed his real personality to shine. He's now happily playing with other dogs and even loves the chickens. Cocoa still gets startled by loud noises, so he needs a secure harness outdoors and may require medication during particularly loud events. Understanding and reassurance will help him thrive. He is not looking to be an only dog; in fact, friendly canine companions could help him gain confidence. His heartwarming story needs a happy ending. Cocoa thrives in a home environment and is currently about 50 pounds, already microchipped, and comes with a GPS tracker. Please consider adopting this wonderful boy and give him the forever home he deserves. He's waiting for you to make his life complete. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
