Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Chocolate Lab lovers, please meet Coco! Coco is a 3 year old, 55 lb lab mix who wants nothing more to be your playmate and your best friend. Coco would do well in many homes willing to give this girl some playtime, some exercise and lots of love. She is crate-trained and house-broken and is as happy as can be.
Coco has good house manners but she does need to be watched and given a few lessons in what to do if she becomes bored. Her puppy tendencies might come out if she isn't given an outlet. She loves to play with other dogs so if your dog is looking for a spirited playmate, this is your girl. She also would love to play and chase cats and as a result, only dog-saavy cats please. Coco is good with kids. She can get a little mouthy just like those adorable puppies (solvable with training and redirection), so sturdy toddlers only apply. She is good on leash and is just a joy to be around.
This girl is ready for her place in a forever home. If you are interested in adopting Coco, please email erin.camp@bigfluffydogs.com and fill out an application.
If you are interested in adopting this dog, please apply online, at http://www.bigfluffydogs.com/online-app.php. Our main website, www.bigfluffydogs.com has more information about us and the rescue process. NOTE TO EMAILERS FROM ADOPT-A-PET: WE DO NOT RESPOND TO EMAIL INQUIRIES WITHOUT AN APPLICATION. WE REGRET WE CANNOT RESPOND TO EVERY EMAIL, BUT UNLESS YOU FILL OUT AN APPLICATION, WE DO NOT KNOW YOU EXIST. All known information about an individual dog is provided in it's listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters must understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for:1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only "hold it" for one hour per month of age (ex. a 4 month old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break).2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old, to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise.3.) Socialization: The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home.4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded tenfold, for years to come.Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy.Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time consuming, and can be expensive.All Dogs Require:Supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well socialized dog is more than worth the effort put in to get them there.
