My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Update:

Coco is a little bit of a special case due to his sheltered background. He is 4 yrs old and his size is a hearty 59 lbs.
He came to us after his owner fell ill. His home was a single woman and he was inside kept with little socialization with other folks and pets. He did share the home with a cat. He was rarely allowed outdoors. However, while in our care he has learned a leash and enjoys the outdoors; seems to love it but, he will be very loyal to have a family near. He is loving & affectionate! His only issue now is getting a little nervous with new things but, he has come along so well!

Coco is meeting strangers easier than he was initially. He does great with out staff.
We dont recommend children due to his not wanting to be suddenely pulled or jumped on. He is good with cats and will be a good loyal pet in an adult home.

He likes toys and shows us he can be a happy boy. Experience with his type personality is recommended.

We are a rural shelter with high intakes. As a result, the shelter dogs are not guaranteed safety. We do our best but, we need help.
