About Coco

Coco is a spirited 5-6 month old Shih Tzu who found her way to rescue after a tough start in a neglectful home. Currently in foster care, she thrives among both large and small dogs, getting along wonderfully with all of them. Coco would shine in a home that has another playful and social canine companion to help her blossom. She is crate trained and uses pee pads, although she’s still learning the ropes of house training. With a bit of patience, she readily warms up, especially in new situations where she might initially feel nervous. Coco will be up to date on her age-appropriate vaccinations, microchipped, and spayed before adoption. If you have a stable home environment and the time to dedicate to training a puppy, consider bringing Coco into your family. Adoption fee $400. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
