Coco (GA)

Coco and her sister Lulu were found abandoned at a nearby storage facility and have been fostering them for several weeks. Coco is approximately 5-6 months old, 38 lbs, and potentially a mix of lab, pointer, herding, and shepherd breeds, but really, no one knows for sure. She is a total love—gets along well with other dogs and kids, and likes our cat but does like to chase him when they are both outside. She is a bit more adventurous and outdoorsy than her sister (loves to run around in our yard). She is super quick to learn, is doing really well with potty training, crate training, and goes all night (9 hours!) without accidents. She also does well in cars. She will need some help with walking on a leash, as this is clearly something she hasn't experienced before.
We adore her but already have a dog and two cats and travel a lot. We really want her to find a family who will give her lots of love and guidance. She is wicked smart, learns easily, and is eager to please you! Please consider giving Coco a loving home!
We are helping Coco's current guardian to rehome her. Please fill out our online application and we will forward to them. Adoption fee would be minimum $100 donation to Furry Friends Rescue. If you have specific questions please send them through and we will put you in touch with her current guardian.
