Cocoa's Story

**LOCATED IN ANCH/MATSU **<br/>Cocoa<br/>One Year Old<br/>Neutered Male<br/>Labrador Retriever Mix<br/>Vaccinated<br/>Microchipped<br/><br/>Cocoa was rescued during Typhoon Halong in October 2025 and has spent the past 8 months learning that city life isn't so scary. When he first arrived, he was a nervous guy, but he has made incredible progress and continues to gain confidence every day.<br/><br/>Cocoa is potty trained, crate trained, knows basic commands, and has become a great running and adventure buddy. He enjoys car rides, outdoor adventures, and then coming home to snuggle on the couch with his favorite people.<br/><br/>He's great with kids, cats, and dogs he knows well. He does best with slow introductions to new dogs and can be slightly leash reactive, but he's very redirectable and continues to improve with training.<br/><br/>Above all, Cocoa loves being with his humans. He's a loyal little shadow who wants nothing more than to be by your side, whether you're hiking a trail, taking a road trip, or binge-watching your favorite show.<br/><br/>_____________________________________________<br/>Adoption fees cover alter, vaccines given in rescue, microchip, medical expenses and ensure we can continue to help other animals in need. Details contained within this posting including breed, adult size, and behavior are not guaranteed, and are the most accurate information we have at the time, and for the current environment.<br/><br/>Adoption Application for Dogs:<br/><br/>https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BFAK/Dog<br/><br/>Adoption Application for Cats:<br/>https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/BFAK/Cat
