Story
Hi! My name is Cocoa. I am a super sweet boy. I’m back to Big Bones because my first adoption
didn’t work. It’s not my fault things didn’t work out, I just need a different family. I don’t remember
being a newborn puppy, but something really scary must have happened because I’m skittish. I
need a family with a lot of time, patience and love to help me become the dog I can be. My
current adult human is very busy, and there’s 9-year-old human here that is not my favorite.
She’s not mean but she’s a little loud, moves a little too quickly, and sometimes she’s a little too
unpredictable. When I came to this home, the 9-year-old wanted me to become her best friend.
When I get scared, the little human gets sad, and then no one is happy. We’ve tried for more
than a year, and the adult human has decided that there’s a better home out there for me. So,
we’re on a quest to find me that home.
Here’s some more about me:
- I have cute tails wags and run in happy circles when my people come home.
- When the only human in the house is my adult human, I’m still a bit jumpy, but I’m pretty
well adjusted. I like hopping up on the bed and snuggling, especially if I can get under
the nice warm covers or chomp on my rawhide bone.
- I typically get along well with the other pets in my home (one dog and two cats). We play
and sometimes we even groom each other. There are times I get on their nerves and get
hissed or growled at. But, I’m the baby brother. And what baby brother doesn’t get on
their siblings’ nerves sometimes?
- I am not a fan of strangers. If they look at me, I run away.
- When I get scared, I like to run into my crate so I can have my space. So, hopefully, my
new home will have a crate or safe space for me. Especially in the early days.
- I have some accidents in my house. My adult says that’s mostly because our walks
aren’t often enough or long enough (we live in a condo, so I don’t have a back yard).
- I saw the vet in January and got a clean bill of health. Though the vet did say I’m a bit
overweight.
We plan for me to stay with my current family as a foster dog until I find new home. If I sound
like a good fit, I look forward to meeting you!
