Story
This sweet girl is looking for a loving forever home where she can get all the love and attention she deserves. She is truly an amazing dog with such a sweet, affectionate personality. She is wonderful with children and does great with other dogs of all sizes. She has never been around cats, so how she would do with them is currently unknown. She loves being outside, whether she’s exploring, playing, or just enjoying the fresh air. When it’s time to relax, she’s just as happy snuggling up with her people and soaking up all the affection she can get.

Story
🐾 Meet Cocoa! 🐾 Cocoa was born September 9, 2020, and is a German Shepherd/Labrador mix. She came from a litter rescue in Texas and joined our family on January 20, 2021, as a gift to our only child, who was 5 years old at the time. Cocoa has been a loved and cherished part of our family for nearly 6 years. We have cared for her and given her the best life we could. Unfortunately, my health has declined to a debilitating point, and I am no longer physically able to provide the daily care Cocoa needs. My husband and son are also no longer able to consistently care for her. Cocoa has grown and needs more space and attention than our current home and circumstances can provide. We are heartbroken, but we believe finding her a loving, safe, and suitable new home is the responsible thing to do. ❤️ We are looking for a family who will love Cocoa and give her the care, attention, and space she deserves.
