Story
Meet Koko — A Smart, Loyal Girl Looking for the Right HomeKoko is a sweet, affectionate, and incredibly loyal dog who’s looking for a very special home — one that understands her needs and is committed to helping her feel safe and confident.She’s 7 years old, medium-sized, and absolutely adores her people. Koko loves cuddles, tummy rubs, and curling up close at night (she sleeps soundly through the night!). She’s also very food-motivated and loves her stuffed toys — her favorite pastime is “roughing up” her plushies with great enthusiasm!Koko is fully potty trained and knows how to sit. She’s also a very smart girl who learns quickly when given structure and consistency.However, Koko struggles with reactivity and anxiety, especially around other dogs. On walks, she becomes highly reactive — lunging, barking, and spinning when she sees another dog. She also reacts to movement outside (people, dogs, trucks) and even to animals she sees on TV. These behaviors stem from fear and over-stimulation, not aggression, and she’ll need a patient, experienced adopter willing to work with a positive-based trainer to help her continue learning.Koko also gets anxious when her people leave. She’s making progress with crate training but still needs reassurance and consistency to feel comfortable when alone.Because of her reactivity, Koko should be the only pet in the home, and a calm, adult-only household would be best for her at this time. A securely fenced yard would be ideal so she can enjoy outside time safely without unexpected encounters with other dogs.With the right person — someone who understands her triggers, respects her boundaries, and can provide patient training and structure — Koko has so much love to give.
