COCO was found on 10/22/12 and never was claimed. She is a sweet young girl, about 1-1/2 year old, 18 inches in shoulder height and weighing 53 pounds. She's a happy girl and appears to get along with everyone. What surprised us all a few weeks later was that Coco was pregnant.

UPDATE: Coco had her litter right before Christmas, luckily in a safe home environment.  She is back at the Shelter now looking for her forever home.  Her pups are safely being taken care of until they are ready as well....
