This is a courtesy post for Coco. She is not a Second Chance Dog, so please reach out to her owner if you are interested in her.
🐾 Looking for the Right Home for Coco ( please send me a private message or call or text me at 509-860-5835 if you're interested.)
This is Coco, and she’s a sweet, curious girl who deserves a home that can give her the activity and stimulation she thrives on.
Coco turned one year old in December and is primarily a German Shepherd mix, with some Rottweiler, Pitbull, and possibly a few other breeds in her lineage. She’s a beautiful, intelligent dog with a wonderful temperament. She especially seems to love women, but wouldn't have a problem with having a male owner. She has a gentle, eager-to-please personality. Coco is affectionate, curious about the world around her, and very responsive when given guidance.
Her current owners are two wonderful, kind people who truly care about her. After doing their best, they realized Coco simply requires more exercise, stimulation, and socialization than they can reasonably provide since they are in their 80's. This was not an easy decision for them—they feel terrible about needing to rehome her—but they also deserve recognition for honestly acknowledging that Coco’s needs are greater than what they can meet and they want to do the right thing for her.
I (trainer Jodi Holmes) recently assessed Coco’s behavior. She has shown very slight reactivity, which is understandable, given her lack of exposure to the world. She presents as a sweet-natured dog who simply needs more structured exercise, outlets for her energy, and continued socialization. She has been attending doggy daycare for activity and exposure. Though there have been a couple of minor issues there, it's definitely not something that can't be easily resolved.
Coco would likely be a fantastic companion for someone familiar with shepherd-type breeds—someone who enjoys an active dog and understands the importance of exercise, mental stimulation, and continued training. Shepherds are bred to protect the home and the family, so they need a strong leader.
She is up to date on shots, she is spayed, and very well taking care of and in great health. She's not been around many children, nor has she been around cats.
There will be a small rehoming fee, and included with the adoption will be a training session with me, Jodi Holmes, to help set Coco and her new family up for success.
💛 If you’re looking for a loyal, intelligent, and affectionate young dog and can provide the activity and engagement she needs, Coco could be an amazing fit.
