My story

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

Important Facts About Coco
Dogs: We would encourage you to bring your dog for a dog-meet! Our staff are happy to assist.
Cats: Coco would prefer not to live with cats in her new home.
Kids: Coco has met children in foster and enjoyed their company.
House-trained: Yes!

Coco loves long walks in the park, cheese, jerky treats, and lots of cuddles! She is a bit shy at first but once she gets to know you her happy loyal personality shines through. This darling has so much love to offer, and with a little bit of time and patience she is sure to make a wonderful companion. Coco is looking to spread her wings and explore the world with someone - could that be you?

Here`s what her foster had to say: `Her favorite spaces to nap were cool hard floors, but she likes to keep track of her humans when they move around. She`s always ready for a chewy treat. Coco is very polite and was calm and friendly when meeting people and other dogs. She is great at signaling when she needs to go out, and didn`t have even one accident in the house the entire time she was in foster. She got lots of much-needed exercise on several walks every day. She likes to play tug of war and catch some tennis balls! She also knows how to shake hands too! Super great girl for anyone who loves cuddles and walks!`

If you are interested in adopting Coco, please visit the shelter during our adoption hours.
