“Hi my name is Coco, will you be my friend?

Look into my cocoa brown eyes, the soft expression on my face and smile! I absolutely adore people and the many ages, shapes and sizes they come in! I’ve had a RUFF go with other dogs in my past, so I’m a One-Pet-Home kinda girl. There’s enough of me to love for everyone! I’ve been on a weight-loss journey, I’m told this will help my hips and joints as I get older. It’s hard to maintain because I LOVE food and treats. More than that though, I love to Snuggle! Wagging my tail softly and gazing into the eyes of the humans I love.

I Love:

  • Sniffaris! Walks where I can set my own pace and take up all the smells from other animals that have made their way through
  • Digging! A dig pit made from a doggy pool with sand to hide scents with toys in it (rabbit scent is a favourite!)
  • Sun Beams! Let me lay in the sun and soak up the Vitamin D!
  • PEOPLE! I absolutely love spending time with people, I’m definitely a ‘people dog’. I love children, they occasionally decorate me with stickers and the like. I’ll soak up any tidbit of attention.
  • Car Rides! I love exploring new areas, taking in all the sights and smells.

I am less excited about:

  • Making new dog friends. I prefer to have space between myself and others of my own kind. If I feel I’m too close, I let everyone know.
  • I know:
  • Sit A+
  • Come A+
  • I’m well house trained and cue my people when I need to go outside
  • I’m enthusiastic and love learning new things!

I’m working on:

  • Leash Reactivity, I graduated from an 8 Week Program with Dogwit Training. We worked on skills such as Engage/Disengage, Pattern Games and how to utilize my skills of sniffing for decompression
  • Controlling my urges when I go on gopher patrol, small animals are just so tempting to chase! My natural inclination is to dig to find them. I would be a riot at a sport such as Barn Hunt, this would give me a safe way to express my natural instincts.
  • Losing weight. I would be a great companion for someone who is active, that enjoys hiking, running and the like. This may also help control my urges to entertain myself in other ways.

I would love a forever family who:

  • Are looking for a single companion who can soak up all the LOVE!
  • A fully fenced yard, where I can enjoy peace and lounge in the sun!
  • Are Active and are looking for an Adventure buddy!

I can’t wait for you to take me home! Oh the Places We’ll Go!” – xo, Coco
