This girl is gorgeous, energetic, and ready to pack her bags to ride home with you! Her zest for life is something you can't just sit back and watch, you just have to join in. Between her chocolatey brown coat and her big brown eyes, she is an absolute doll. Coco was picked up as a stray in June 2025. We do not know a lot about her upbringing or past. Once Coco approves of you, you're buddies for life. She has been a little intense for the dog and kids in her foster home. She has not met the cats, but has engaged with the smaller dog appropriately, despite the mismatched energy levels.
Ideal Home
Coco is a high-energy girl who would probably do well with access to a yard big enough for zoomies and getting her energy out. She enjoys walks and outings, but is not a candidate for high dog traffic spaces due to being wary of strange dogs and people. She needs teens who are confident in knowing dog body language and safety. She is a lot of dog for young kids learning to understand and engage with appropriate due to her energy. She is probably not safe with cats or other small prey animals.
Ongoing Health
Coco was around 2 years old when she came to us, so we've designated June 14, 2023 as her birthday. She weighs around 70 lbs and is likely done growing at 2 years old. She is not yet sterilized. She is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and treated for internal and external parasites. All her available veterinary records will be provided at the time of adoption.
Training & Support
Her house manners are generally good. She seems to be potty trained. Her leash manners are a little bit rough due to her strength. She is used to a harness and is learning to walk alongside her handler. Coco has not been trained to be off leash, and we would not recommend she is off leash any time soon. This girl is smart and wants to please, but she's typical of her breed in that she also has opinions of her own. She needs a strong, patient leader who will win her trust and work consistently on training. She needs plenty of mental stimulation.
