ABOUT COCO
Looking for some lively love? Meet CoCo! This affectionate, energetic lady is a 2-year-old mix breed. CoCo came to HAP when her owners could no longer care for her. Understandably, the shelter has been a challenging adjustment for her after living in a home. To help give her a break, and so we could see her true personality, CoCo spent some time in a foster home! Here is a summary of her behavior from her foster parents:
CoCo is a smart, affectionate, and energetic girl with a big personality and an even bigger heart! CoCo walks beautifully on leash with lots of slack and rarely pulls, unless a squirrel dares to cross her path. She’s not a fan of cold weather and would much rather head back inside to cozy up once her walk is done. CoCo is incredibly loving and people-oriented. She thinks she’s a lap dog and will happily plop herself onto your lap for cuddles and belly rubs. She bonds quickly with her people and likes to keep everyone together, checking in to make sure no one gets left behind. She’s also very food motivated (a slow feeder is a must!) and eager to please, making her a fast learner. With consistent praise and treats, she’s already made great progress with house training and basic manners.
This sweet girl has a lot of energy and will need outlets for both her body and brain. She loves fetch, enjoys food-filled enrichment toys, and thrives with structure and supervision. Soft toys with squeakers are her favorite, though she’ll need durable options or monitored playtime since she can get a bit enthusiastic. CoCo is quiet overall, rarely barking, and does great in the car, though she’ll need proper safety restraints, as she’s a little too adventurous with open windows. CoCo did well being handled for grooming, including baths and blow drying, and was tolerant and patient throughout the process. She’s curious about cats and would need slow, careful introductions in a home with them. Because of her energy and excitement, she may occasionally jump when happy, but she’s responsive to training and already learning polite behaviors. CoCo would thrive in an active, attentive home that can continue her training, provide enrichment, and give her plenty of love. She’s a joyful, affectionate companion who will keep you smiling, and very loved, every single day.
