About Coco

"I've been in a shelter for over 270 days, that's every day I wake up to other dogs in the same position as me, barking for some love and attention... every day for over 270 days... without my family, without someone who wants to spend the rest of their days with me. What is wrong with me? I just want to curl up in a bed beside you while you go about your day. Or am I not special or pretty enough to have that? I've starting to lose hope that my person is still out there.... Please don't make me wait much longer."


Loves: sunbaking, chewing a good bone, snoozing next to you on the couch or in a dog bed bedside you, curling up with you after a long day of doggy business, social time with dog pals.


Not much of a fan of: cats, pocket pets and smaller animals, loud sounds, sometimes being left alone (hey, the world can be a pretty scary place sometimes).

Dear Visitor, please note a property check may be required before adoption to ensure the safety and welfare of our animals. Rental agreements allowing pets will be required for adoptions into rental properties.

Please note that this website is live and updates frequently, there is a chance that by the time you arrive at our location the animal you have an interest in might have been adopted by another party. We unfortunately can not put animals on hold over the phone.
