My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Meet Coco – Your Gentle Giant of Joy!

Breed: German Shepherd Mix
Age: 3 years old
⚖️ Weight: 78 lbs

Looking for a loyal, goofy, and love-filled companion? Meet Coco, a sweet and gentle soul who’s full of curiosity and affection. With his warm heart and playful energy, Coco brings sunshine into every room he enters.

Coco is a social butterfly who gets along wonderfully with other dogs and loves having fur-siblings to romp around with. Though he isn’t bonded to his current foster brothers, he thrives in a home with fellow four-legged friends and would be overjoyed to have a playmate or two.

He’s smart, eager to please, and has recently completed clicker training with Stacy Braslau-Schneck of Stacy’s Wag’nTrain – helping him focus even in distracting or stressful situations. Coco already knows several commands and enjoys interactive play that challenges both his body and brain. When he gets a little too excited, this clever boy knows just what to do – he tucks himself under the kitchen table for a self-imposed time-out to recharge.

Coco is completely house-trained, loves car rides, and is working on walking politely on a leash (he just can’t help wanting to greet everyone he sees!). Despite his size and age, he doesn’t need long hikes to burn energy – two short walks a day and playtime with pup pals are plenty for this balanced boy.

If you’re looking for a dog who sees the best in everyone, has a heart full of love, and a personality that keeps you smiling, Coco might just be your perfect match.

Are you ready to meet your new best friend? Coco is waiting to meet you!

Additional adoption info

Are you interested in meeting one of our available animals? Please fill out the appropriate online application on our website. We will be in contact with you to arrange a meeting with the rescue pet you are interested in.

Please note that all of our rescue pets are in private foster homes and meetings will be coordinated with foster parents. Typically, after you meet the rescue pet, we will follow up with you to see how the meeting went. If a match is made, we can finalize the adoption quickly. Please note that we may require a home check as part of the application process. Thank you for your interest in our rescue pets!

Adoption fees are between $100 - $400 depending on animal, breed, age.
