My name is Cocoa AKA Chloe #6734!

Cocoa is a lovely 4.5 year old Chocolate Lab at probabaly around 65ish lbs who has not been treated kindly by her past people and was helped to come to GRRAND by a concerned neighbor. She was literally used only for breeding, treated badly and kept in horrible conditions all by herself while trying to raise her puppies, but not anymore. Her people were planning to dump her somewhere as they were done with her, even though she was pregnant. GRRAND was told she was a difficult dog to deal with... but on the contrary! She had worked with a trainer some on leash walking, and that should be continued. She has had her last litter of puppies and is ready to move on with her new life!  

Our GRRAND volunteer says: "It's a joy to have time with Cocoa. Cocoa is energetic yet also loves snuggles. Cocoa is treat motivated and very polite. I walked her on a leash with a martingale collar this morning. Cocoa would like sniff time, please, at first, and then she'll get more serious about walking. Cocoa has dog friends at our kennel but she may be dog selective."

Cocoa is a COUCH POTATO! She comes up for pets and stares at you with her beautiful, soulful eyes is if to say I’m finally okay and can relax. Her tail is constantly wagging and she gets so excited when you sit beside her and rub her big belly. She has not had one accident in the house and likes to take walks several times a day so she can enjoy the squirrels and deer in the neighborhood. This sweet momma is going to make someone a loving and loyal forever friend!" Our GRRAND volunteer says: "Oh, Miss Cocoa. What a great lab. Mature, wise, well behaved. Enjoys a walk and good sniffs. Will do stomps with the tush scritchies. Enjoys independence but will check in with you."

She is house-trained and has full run of the house and sleeps in her dog bed in the bedroom.
