About Coco

Coco is a sweet, affectionate girl looking for her forever home. Currently, she's living in a pop-up crate because her shelter is over capacity, but her spirit shines brighter every day. This lovely mixed breed enjoys a cozy spot on the couch, leisurely walks, and endless belly rubs. Her ideal day involves two daily walks of about 20 minutes and snuggling close to her favorite people. Coco is crate trained and knows several commands, responding well to positive reinforcement. While she's friendly with familiar dogs, she's more reserved around unfamiliar ones, particularly off-leash, so slow introductions are best. Although she's had experience living with a cat, the shelter suggests a home without small pets due to her past behavior. Coco would thrive in a calm environment, ideally suited for a family with older children who will respect her boundaries. With a little patience and a lot of love, she can settle into a new routine. This clever girl walks well with only mild pulling and is ready to showcase her sweet and snuggly side to her new cuddle buddy. Coco is spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations. Her adoption fee has been waived, and her new family will receive a $50 Chewy gift card. She's excited to find a place where she can feel safe, settled, and loved once again. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
