About Coconut

Meet Coconut! This 3-year-old, 12 lb Maltese boy is a playful little scamp with a heart of gold. He's always eager to engage, whether it’s playing with toys or challenging you to a game of tug of war. While chasing after a ball is his specialty, bringing it back is still a work in progress. Coconut is the sweetest companion. He’ll sit beside you, soaking up pets and kisses like it’s his job. Being your little shadow, he’ll keep a close eye on where you wander and is adept at alerting you when it's time for dinner, play, or outdoor adventures. He enjoys the company of other dogs, and is crate-trained, happily going in for a treat. Though he hasn’t met any cats yet, Coconut would thrive best in a kid-free home. He’s a fan of his walks, behaves well on a leash, and enjoys car rides. Despite his cleverness in getting into cabinets and grabbing snacks from the table, a little doggy-proofing can easily keep him in line. If you're looking for a loving and slightly mischievous buddy, Coconut is ready to bring laughter and companionship into your life. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
