Meet Coconut, a sweet 14-week-old Labrador Retriever and Pit Bull Terrier mix weighing 16 pounds. After a difficult start, he has blossomed in foster care and is learning how wonderful it feels to be safe, loved, and cared for.
Coconut loves being close to his people—sitting nearby while you cook, cuddling on the couch, or chewing a squeaky toy at your feet. He is shy and sensitive, but gentle reassurance, soft voices, positive reinforcement, and treats help his confidence grow every day.
Ideal Home
Coconut would do best with patient, calm humans who can give him extra reassurance as he continues coming out of his shell. He is playful and affectionate, and enjoys spending time with people and other dogs.
