Coco

Coco is a 1.5-year-old sweetheart who’s had a rough start in life, so she’s

currently convinced that just about everything is a little intimidating. New

sights, sounds, and objects? Overwhelming. Other dogs? Definitely overwhelming

at first. But give her time, patience, and love, and Coco transforms into a

goofy, playful, snuggly tornado of joy.

Her best qualities:

• Professional Snuggler – will happily curl up on your lap and soak in

all the love.

• Zoomie Queen – when she’s comfortable, she’ll race around like she’s

training for the doggy Olympics.

• Tug-of-War Enthusiast – loves roughhousing once she knows you’re a

friend.

• Dinner Etiquette Expert – sits and waits patiently for the “OK”

before eating.

• Dog Socialite-in-Training – Coco can be reactive to other dogs at

first, but with a slow, careful introduction, she’s become great friends with

Kilo and loves playdates with him.

Things she’s working on:

• Easily startled by new things — patience, gentle reassurance, and

high-value treats go a long way.

• Still building confidence, so she needs someone who can show her how

to be brave using positive reinforcement.

• Cats: she’s curious but unsure, so slow introductions are necessary.

• Small children: a home without little ones is best, as Coco can get

startled easily.

Her ideal human:

• Patient, understanding, and ready to celebrate small wins.

• Comfortable with silly zoomies, tug sessions, snuggle breaks, and

helping her navigate a spooky world.

• Equipped with squeaky toys, high-value treats, and a sense of humor

about her “startled-by-everything” personality.

Coco doesn’t need a perfect home, she just needs someone willing to go slow, build her confidence, and love her for the sweet, quirky, jumpy, snuggle-loving goofball she is!
