ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: Meet Coco, a charming little dog expected to weigh between 10-15 lbs when fully grown. Coco gets along wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys their company. While we don't currently know how he interacts with cats, we can find out if needed. Coco is sensitive to loud noises and commotion, so he would do best in a home with children aged 15 and older. He knows how to sit and is learning more commands. Coco is doing very well with both house training and crate training. He loves treats, exercise, both mental and physical, and enjoys being chased and playing with his humans. Coco prefers not to be handled by strangers, needing to build love and trust first. This playful and affectionate pup is ready to find a calm and loving home where he can thrive.

We need fosters so that we can save dogs before they are euthanized at the shelters.
