Coco #3478

Hello!  My name is Coco (#3478) and I arrived from China in late March 2021.My foster family describes me as “an amazingly sweet and loving dog.”  (I feel the same about them.)  I truly want nothing more from life than the love and attention of a family.  I absolutely adore the three teenagers in my foster home and eagerly wait for them to wake up each morning so I can greet them with exuberance.  (My foster mom says sometimes my exuberance is “over-the top” but I happen to think it’s right where it’s supposed to be.)   Overall, I have a medium energy level except when my foster family returns from outings, when I meet new people, or when I know I am going on a walk.   I LOVE going on walks and love playing in the river by my foster family’s house.  I am pretty good on a leash – I am using a harness which has worked well so far.

I get along fine with the resident dog in my foster home but am far more interested in human attention.  I am food motivated and am easily focused on treats for training.  I am a natural pleaser, so treat or no treat, I listen and respond to redirection quickly when needed.   Although food motivated, I do not counter surf or resource guard and am gentle when given treats.  I am still working on the alternatives to jumping when I am excited.

Adoption fee:  $900 plus $35 microchip fee
