About Coco
Coco is an adorable small dog with a lot of potential, seeking a special family to help her gain confidence in her new life. She’s been progressing well with her ongoing training and now needs a supportive home that will guide her through her journey of learning to trust. Coco has a unique personality; while she loves her inner circle, she finds interactions with strangers a bit overwhelming. For this reason, she'll thrive with patient adopters who can make her feel safe, especially in new situations. Coco has been getting comfortable with calm dogs in her care and even enjoys some playtime. However, she needs a home with teens or older family members, as young children may be too much for her right now. When she's excited, watch out for her cute zoomies! It’s important that her new family understands it will take time and gentle guidance for her to adapt fully, so a structured environment would be ideal. Continued support from her new family will make all the difference as she learns to embrace the joys of her new home. Are you ready to help Coco on her path to confidence?
