Coco is a bit of a one-trick pony but oh what trick it is! She's an agile, turbo-charged stuffed potato with legs who can leap high. She weighs 43 pounds and is working hard to get down to a healthy weight. She thinks she is a lap dog. Your lap may disagree. She is affectionate and loves to be petted. She is mature and well behaved and only got into trouble for being too talkative. She is moderately active and likes car rides, fetch (her FAVORITE!), running, toys, and walks. She is not a party animal and enjoys being alone. She likes to lead while on a leash. She is house trained and always had free roam of the house. She walks to the door when she needs to go out. She is easygoing and friendly with children. She is friendly, playful and cautious around other dogs and is polite when meeting dogs during walks or at the dog park. She won't like it if other dogs approach her while she is eating. She cannot live with a cat because of her fear of them. She knows the sit, stay, come, no, fetch, and shake commands. She was given up because of her owner's health. She is mellow and curious. Please offer lovable Coco the home, family, and tennis balls she needs. (tw 5/2/2024)
