Coco – Affectionate, Playful Boxer Mix Looking for Her Forever Family
Coco is an 11-month-old, 26-lb boxer mix with a big heart and playful spirit. She loves toys, cuddles, and being close to her people. She’s currently being fostered after being rescued from a hospital parking lot in Tijuana, where she was left tied up when her former owner became ill and could no longer care for her.
For several days, Coco waited there—gentle, hopeful, and grateful for every bit of attention she received. After getting to know her and seeing how loving she was, we couldn’t leave her behind. Coco was taken to a veterinarian for a full health check, vaccinations, microchipping, and has been thriving in foster care ever since.
Coco adores people and bonds quickly. She’s done wonderfully with adults and young children and greets everyone she meets with enthusiasm and affection. She also gets along very well with other dogs and would be especially happy in a home with a canine sibling or people who enjoy playtime, walks, and interactive companionship.
She is house-trained, knows to wait to go outside, and is currently learning leash manners. Like many young dogs, she’s still polishing those skills, but she’s eager to learn and responds well to guidance. Coco loves toys—especially chew toys—and while she can entertain herself, her favorite thing is being part of whatever her people are doing. She’s equally happy playing or curling up close for cuddles.
Coco is energetic in the best way: playful, curious, and full of joy. She would do well in a home that can provide regular exercise, mental stimulation, and engagement. An apartment can absolutely work for her with an adopter who enjoys getting out for walks, playtime, or other activities to help her burn off her puppy energy.
She is healthy, appears to have been well cared for earlier in life, and has no known medical issues. Coco will be spayed prior to adoption.
Coco is currently being fostered while we thoughtfully search for the right forever home where she can truly thrive. She is a healthy, loving, and joyful young dog with an incredible capacity for affection and companionship.
If you’re looking for a playful, people-loving pup who will bring energy, warmth, and devotion into your life, Coco is ready to meet you and become a cherished part of your family.
Please contact Thomas at 619-751-9342 for any adoption inquiries.

One of RCHS' main goals is the adoption of animals to permanent, loving homes. RCHS' adoption process is tailored to find the best match between pets and people.
HERE ARE THE STEPS YOU'LL GO THROUGH IN THE ADOPTION PROCESS:
Before you can see (that is, pet, cuddle, walk, and get to know) any animal you've seen in our kennels, we'll ask you to complete some paperwork. This paperwork must be completed first in order to minimize stress for you and the animals. Our process includes asking questions in order to make the best match between animal and owner. We like to gain a better understanding about your expectations, past experiences, and current animals at home.
Once all the paperwork has been satisfactorily completed, you may handle and visit the animal you're interested in. You'll have a counseling session with a knowledgeable member of our staff who will fill you in on the history and needs of that animal, and his feeding and exercise requirements. You can ask your counselor any questions about spaying or neutering, housetraining, obedience training, scratching (in cats), veterinary care, how to deal with fleas and ticks, and anything else you can think of.
You will be asked to sign an adoption contract and pay an adoption fee. We will provide you with a list of all items and medical treatments that are included in your adoption fee.

More about this shelter
Our Mission:
Rancho Coastal Humane Society is dedicated to saving lives of abandoned companion animals, promoting adoption into loving homes and offering education programs and support services that inspire and strengthen the human-animal bond.
Rancho Coastal Humane Society (RCHS) was founded in 1960 by animal lover Maria K. Lloyd who purchased property off a small dirt road in Encinitas, California. At that time, the shelter was home to dogs, cats, birds, goats, sheep and even a burro named Milton. Today, that dirt road is I-5, but the shelter still operates out of the same little yellow house.
RCHS is well-known for its personalized pet adoption process and humane education programs. RCHS is also recognized for services that strengthen the human-animal bond, including the Animal Safehouse Program, the Community Pet Food Bank, Pet-Assisted Therapy and Pet Loss Support programs, and community outreach that provides a “helping paw” to people in crisis. At RCHS, we believe everyone should be able to keep their beloved pets safe, healthy and by their sides.
A member of the San Diego Animal Welfare Coalition, RCHS abides by the pledge that NO healthy, treatable animal will ever be euthanized for time or space. Our shelter stands with the Coalition and abides by the Asilomar Accord when it comes to serving this community and its animals!
Based on statistical reporting through the national database, Shelter Animals Count, RCHS currently maintains a 100% Live Release or Save Rate. This refers to the percentage of animals leaving the shelter either through adoption, transfer or return to owner.
At Rancho Coastal Humane Society, we believe that Every Animal Deserves a Tomorrow®.
