About Coco

Meet Coco, an almost 18-month-old American Staffy mix who is full of energy and ready to find her forever home. Coco is an excitable and curious dog who loves to explore her surroundings, and once she bonds with you, she’s an affectionate girl. Her favorite pastime is sunbaking in warm spots, and she’s sure to keep you entertained with her playful and loving nature. Coco will thrive in a home with an experienced owner who can help her continue to learn and grow. She’s best suited for a quiet environment with someone home more often than not, as she loves being around her people and needs time to adjust when left alone. A secure 6-foot colourbond fence is essential for keeping her safe while she enjoys outdoor playtime.

Coco will be best with dog-confident kids over 12, but she isn’t comfortable around small animals, pocket pets, or cats. She has previously lived with another male dog and may be open to having a canine companion in her new home, but they will need to meet at the shelter first to ensure they get along.

If you’re looking for a loyal and loving companion and have the experience to provide her with the structure she needs, Coco could be the perfect addition to your family. Come meet her at the shelter and see if you’re the right match!
