About Coco

Meet Coco! Coco is a charming 6-month-old, 16-pound Shih Tzu and Pug mix looking for a patient family to help her grow in confidence. Previously surrendered when her owner could no longer care for her, Coco has undergone surgery for a cherry eye and is now seeing the world brighter and more comfortably. Though she may be nervous and guarded when meeting new people, Coco benefits from slow introductions and needs space to approach at her own pace. Quick movements or rushed interactions can lead to nipping, so a quiet, adult-only home with adopters who respect her boundaries is essential. Once she feels secure, her playful puppy nature shines through. She loves to race around with toys and share cuddles with those she trusts. Coco also gets along well with dogs of all sizes, making her a great choice for families with canine companions. As a young dog, Coco needs consistent and positive training to learn basic commands and build her confidence. She's already shown good house manners and is crate trained, though her reluctance means a gentle approach is key. Adopters should have a calm environment while keeping up with her youthful energy and be committed to grooming her regularly. With patience and love, Coco has all the potential to become a wonderful companion. Could you be the one to offer her a lifetime of love? Coco is spayed, current on Bordetella, Distemper, and Rabies vaccines, dewormed, heartworm tested negative, and receiving heartworm and flea prevention. Coco's adoption fee is $375.
