About Coconut

Coconut is a sweet Maltese-Poodle mix looking for a loving home. Born on October 22, 2018, she is a shy but friendly girl who needs a patient family to help her adjust to a new life outside of her previous environment as a puppy mill survivor. She's starting to learn what it means to be part of a household, but she will take time to feel comfortable with new experiences. Currently, socialization and trust-building are her top priorities. Coconut does well with other dogs, so having a furry companion could help her acclimate more quickly. A secure, fenced yard is ideal for her safety as she continues to learn about life in a loving home. Potential adopters should be prepared for the slow transition she may need, helping her discover simple things like walking on a leash and navigating her surroundings. If you think you can provide the right environment for this sweet girl to thrive, Coconut would love to meet you! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
