Meet Coco! This 11-year-old Shih Tzu is a sweet senior girl looking for her forever home. Coco forms strong bonds with people, following you from room to room and seeking comfort in your presence. She’s a loyal companion who will come looking for you if you disappear for too long. At night, Coco makes a great roommate; she settles down on the bed peacefully and stays there without taking over your space. While she’s still figuring out her snuggling preferences—due to some skin discomfort—she appreciates gentle affection when she’s ready. Don’t let her age fool you; she still has a playful side, though she expresses it on her terms. As a senior, Coco needs a little extra help with things like getting onto furniture, whether through steps, a ramp, or a helping hand. She benefits from attentive potty cues, especially since her current medication requires prompt outdoor trips. Mealtime is another highlight for Coco; she loves her food and dutifully cleans her bowl. She’s currently working on maintaining a healthier weight after arriving a bit overfed. Coco’s charming underbite and often-visible tongue add to her character, making her truly one of a kind. She loves people and other dogs and is open to being tested with cats for potential harmony with them. Coco may require a bit of assistance as she navigates her senior years, but what you’ll receive in return is a devoted little companion who always wants to be by your side. If you have a soft spot for seniors and the space for a sweet shadow, Coco could be your perfect match! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
