Story
Coco was born about February 27, 2023 and weighs about 60 lbs. Based on his physical characteristics he appears to be a retriever sort of mix, but he came from Puerto Rico and when the PR dogs are DNA'd they come back with a myriad of breed mixes! While watching Coco run like the wind, we realized he seems to have the speed, form and tucked in abdomen of a Greyhound - just guess work on our part. We adopted Coco to an elderly couple who realized they should have adopted a smaller dog and, sadly, he had a bit of a fetish for the neighboring rooster so no live poultry in Coco's next life. Coco is very curious and is happy to follow you around and learn all sorts of new things. When it is time to relax in the evening he looks for the nearest lap to snuggle and snooze, size doesn't matter to him. Coco is a very strong swimmer and jumps right in! He was a frequent visitor to the dog parks around Rochester and always had a blast with the other dogs and he surely is a fast runner! Coco is wonderfully house trained and was crated when left alone when younger, but lately no crate was needed but they still had to be sure their shoes were picked up. Coco is fine on leash, but may pull some at times especially when he sees something....like a rooster or squirrel. He does fine on car rides, and he sleeps beautifully during the night. He is a love everyone kind of guy and he loved the grandkids, but when excited to see them, he was a bit too bouncy. His human dad would create some of his meals and he loves to eat a variety of fruits and veggies. Coco will destroy stuffed toys pretty quickly, but he did enjoy peanut butter in Kong type toys. All in all, we know a lot about him now and he is a very good boy! The Adoption Fee for this dog is $__500.00_____. Adoptions fees vary based on adoptability.
