Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi, i'm Coco, a 2 yr old, 12 lb female Pomeranian whose cute factor is off the charts. Through no fault of my own and despite my friendly and affectionate nature I have had three homes in my young life. My latest owner has had a upset in her life and can no longer keep me. I haven't had very much luck with owners up to know so I very much hope that my next home will be my last one.
I am a high energy little girl so need an active home where I will be walked 2 to 3 times a day and with a fenced yard for me to play fetch in. My favorite outings are going on hikes, playing at the dog park and swimming at the dog beach. I am extremely friendly and outgoing and enthusiastically greet every person I meet. Because of my love of human attention I will run up to complete strangers and jump up and lick their legs to get them to pet me. It is pretty hard to resist me as I make myself as cute and adorable as possible.
I get along just as well with other dogs as I do with people. Dog parks are a lot of fun for me but it would be even more wonderful to have another playful dog at home to play tug of war and to chase around the yard with. Play is a full time job for me but if my humans are busy and I don't have my dog friends with me, I am very skilled at playing with myself. I can make a toy out of anything, including a Q-tip, which I will throw into the air over and over. If I want your attention I may pick up a shoe or sock and take it into another room. Because I am very active, I often get thirsty and will drink a lot of water. As a result I have to pee more frequently than most dogs. Although I am house trained I may have accidents if I don't have access to the outside when my bladder is full. This is easily prevented either by providing me with a dog door to the back yard or monitoring my water intake so you will know when it is time to let me outside.
When it is time to relax I love being cuddled and having my belly rubbed. And naturally I will want to sleep cuddled up beside you in bed. I make a great teddy bear for you to snuggle up with.
Of course, I am not perfect. When I run myself down and get overly tired or hungry I can get a bit grumpy. When I feel this way I don't like being touched and or bothered and will show my crankiness by snarling and sometimes nipping. At those times it is best to just leave me alone. I can also be protective of high value treats or chewies. For this reason I am not suited to a home with children 8 or under. My current foster attributes this behavior to past neglect and anxiety over being rehomed so many times. While I have been in her care I have gotten much less protective of my food so she believes with consistent training and a stable environment I will continue to improve.
I am very healthy, house trained, and spayed and up to date on my vaccinations. My adoption fee is $500.
