About Coco

Coco is a delightful Boxer currently at Heartland Animal Shelter, and she’s eager to steal your heart. With her large brown eyes and playful spirit, she embodies all the affectionate traits the breed is known for. At just over a year old, Coco is still quite the young pup eager to embrace life. She adjusts well, treating her stay at the shelter like a vacation, jumping in with enthusiasm and making friends with everyone around her. Previously, Coco lived with children and other dogs, making her a great candidate for families or multi-pet households. This lovable girl has an infectious joy and a goofy spirit that make her endlessly entertaining. It's clear she's been well-loved and knows the warmth of a family environment. After a sudden change that led to her surrender, we hope this is merely a brief stop on her journey to a forever home. Come and meet Coco; she'll be waiting to charm you with her playful demeanor! Coco's adoption fee is $300, and she is already spayed, up to date on core vaccines, and heartworm negative. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
