Coco's Story

Meet Coco! (Also known as "Stud Muffin"... and occasionally "Cujo.")<br/><br/>At a mighty 10 pounds, Coco has somehow convinced himself he's the toughest dog in the room.<br/><br/>Strangers? Hard pass.<br/><br/>He'll happily announce your arrival with barking, throw in a growl for dramatic effect, and if you ignore his very strongly worded opinions, he may decide his teeth need to join the conversation. Meeting Coco is less of a greeting and more of an interview and he's pretty selective about who gets the job.<br/><br/>The funny thing is, once you're on the VIP list, "Cujo" magically becomes "Stud Muffin." He's just convinced that trust should be earned, not given away for free.<br/><br/>Coco has successfully lived with both dogs and cats, proving he's capable of making friends... just maybe not with the mail carrier. <br/><br/>Coco is looking for an adult home that appreciates a dog with opinions, respects his boundaries, and understands that the best relationships take a little work. <br/>After all, anybody can adopt a nice dog. It takes a special person to appreciate a little 10-pound menace with a secret sweet side<br/><br/>If you've ever uttered the phrase, "I don't care if he growls, all dogs love me," Coco would like to wish you the best...with a different dog.<br/><br/>If interested please fill out a preliminary and odas.org/canine and someone will contact you to schedule your visit.
