About Coco8

Please fully read Coco's bio before applying: Coco is a tiny guy weighing just 9 pounds. He came into rescue when his owner moved. Coco will need an experienced and willing adopter to work with some of Coco's behaviors which stem from fear and mistrust. Ongoing training for this little guy is needed. Environment: Coco is looking for a home without a lot of people coming and going. He's especially mistrustful of strangers and would benefit from continued training to boost his confidence. Coco should not live in a home with children. He would do well in most home types, but likely not a large building with the opportunity for a lot of stranger danger. A fenced yard would be great for Coco, but it is not required. He walks on leash but will demonstrate reactions to people on a walk. Pets & People: Coco is fear reactive to unfamiliar people. In the safety of his home space, he seeks out comfort from his humans. He has the ability to make trusting relationships with his caregivers. Coco needs to be the only pet in the home due to jealousy and resource guarding tendencies. Location: Coco is currently being fostered in Herndon, Virginia. He can travel a reasonable distance to his forever home. Please email fosternorth@littlepawsdr.org for any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Coco is $325.
