BOXER SPOTLIGHT: COCO III
CoCo III is an owner surrender looking for a new home.
Hi! My name is CoCo III! I am a beautiful 11-year-old flashy brindle girl that is an owner surrender due to my owner's health failing, her now in the hospital, and no one to care for me. I am a proud member of the rescue's Silver Heart Program so be sure and ask about it because there are great perks for my adoptive family! I am described as friendly, protective, nervous, and obedient! I currently live with a 9lb Mal-Shi and I mainly ignore her existence, but I do resource guard if food is around so it's important that I am fed separately. When I was younger I was attacked by dogs so a meet and greet with dog friends is important. I currently live with a cat but don't like them in my space and will bark and run at them so a cat free home would be best please. One thing I do love is people! I currently live with two kids (ages 6 and 19 years) and do fine with them! I am fearful of men when first meeting them and it takes a day or so for me to warm up to them. I am house trained, crate trained, and at night I sleep on the floor by the human's bed. If the humans must be away and I am left alone, I am fine. When outside I have good behavior and do not dig or attempt to jump fences/gates. I'm wary of doors that are not fully open but love riding in the car, going for walks, back rubs, and affection from people! If you think I would make a great addition to your home to hang my leash in my golden years, contact the rescue today and tell them you are wanting to meet Silver Heart CoCo III because I am waiting to meet you!
