My story

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


Cocoa is a loving, loyal, and obedient dog who loves to be loved on. My wife raised her from a weeks old abandoned puppy. She is well house trained. We let her out our back door without a fence and she always comes back to the door as soon as she’s done. No interest in exploring outside.

Unfortunately, she is nervous and weary of strangers. It takes her many visits to warm up to house guests. Visitors need to be careful around her face at eye level or she will bite. (She has never latched on to anyone. Only nipping)

Our problem is she has not warmed up to our 18 month old son and tends to snap at him no matter how gentle he is. As a result, she has been sort of kicked to the end of the house, stuck behind a gate not getting the love and attention she deserves. We intend to have more children, so we believe rehoming is the best for her.
