My story

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

Meet Coconut 🐾❤️
At 14 years young, Coconut is a super senior Shih Tzu with a gentle spirit and a heart full of love to give. She came to us from Chicago Animal Care and Control, and now she’s hoping to find a kind-hearted person who can give her the comfort and care she deserves in her golden years.

Coconut may have a few lumps, bumps, and medical needs (please ask our staff for details), but she doesn't let that get her down. She moves through life with quiet grace, and all she really wants is a warm, safe place to rest, a soft spot on the couch, and someone who will love her just the way she is.

Seniors like Coconut don’t ask for much—just time, patience, and a whole lot of heart. In return, she’ll give you gentle companionship, quiet loyalty, and the kind of soulful connection that only comes from a dog who’s seen a lot and still chooses love.

Could you be the hero Coconut is waiting for? Come meet this special girl and give her the happy ending she’s so worthy of. 💕🐶
