Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Im Coco, nice to meet you. I am a mix between American Staffordshire Terrier and Chocolate lab, and I am about 2 yrs of age. I am super happy to say hello to my volunteers, and really sad to see them leave. Im a people dog, I want you to be happy and me next to you, as close as I can be. I get excited, but I am young- just over 2 yrs old, and I have a lot of energy. I love running, and playing- I am good with my sister Willow, but I am not a fan of the dogs that want to be carried and are smaller than me. I did live with other dogs, and cats but because of my energy and young age, I would probably do better with less distractions and I love to cuddle, so I dont want to share your attention. I would be most happy in your lap pretending that I am a 10lb dog. As much as l love little kids, I think because I jump still, Briana doesnt think I should go to any house with kids younger than 10, because I am strong and would hurt someone accidentally.
Im really smart, and I know all my commands including to come when called. I love my name, so if you call for me, its cuz you want my attention and I have plenty to share. My friend Briana is working on my separation anxiety and teaching me not to destroy toys, but please be patient with me when you take me home. Do not let the name Terrier give me a bad rap, I am a love bug who just needs to find my forever human. Thanks for looking at my info, I hope to share my paw artwork with my friends in the next few wks. I am a great artist, I have been told.

The shelter is locked at all times, to avoid random interactions with the dogs. All dogs are visible online, and then an appointment can be set up, or if the ACO van is on property during the week, then someone can stop by.

More about this shelter
We are a small town animal shelter that hasnt been fluid and long term operational since 2015. The animal services was regionalized from 2015 to 2021, and that officer was part time and had to reopen the facility. She was here for a year and change, then another officer came for about a year and change and continued the fixing up and rebuilding. At this time, the programs are getting restarted- fostering, outings, community invovlement. This is my baby and I plan to help it grow and become the shelter it needs to be, with the involvement it deserves.
