Story
Coco is a playful, energetic, people-loving girl who enjoys being close to her humans. She’s smart, affectionate, and eager to engage with her family. She would be great with a jogging or hiking buddy! Coco jumps when excited, so she’d do best with older kids and an active home. She may show a submissive grin when meeting people or getting excited — an appeasement behavior that responds well to calm handling. Coco loves boisterous play with other dogs and would do well with a canine companion who enjoys active play. She will bark at and chase cats (not aggressively), so she would do best in a home without cats. CoCo weighs approximately 45-50 pounds and is approximately 9 months old. She was turned in to our rescue as a neighborhood stray several months ago and has since been spayed and up to date on vaccines. She is HW negative and is on heartworm prevention. If you would like to adopt CoCo, please message us and I will put you in contact with her foster mom. She can send you an adoption application! Coco is being fostered in MS but included in your adoption fee is transport to a location near you by Rescue Riders Pet Transport, the most animal friendly transport on the road! We look forward to hearing from you and will be happy to answer any questions about Coco that you may have!
