My story

Have you ever wished you had a buddy that wanted to cuddle ALL the time? Look no further! Cocoa is a cuddle-a-holic. 2 year old, 39 pound Cocoa is a medium grey blue gal, coming in at a very portable 45lbs. She has a very outgoing, bubbly, and curious personality. She is brilliant, and learned lay "down" in 20 minutes. Cocoa is very food motivated and loves meal time. She has even expressed interest in the "talking button" we have for "potty". Speaking of - She almost always immediately potties when brought outside. Cocoa is currently still in decompression from shelter life, but will be sharing space with our resident dog soon. They spend time with one in crate, one out; she showers him in kisses through the crate when she wants his affection and from all signs here and at the shelter, she loves dogs as much as she loves people. Cocoa loves people so much in fact, she once had zoomies after maintenance workers said hi while on a ladder nextdoor. We believe she would do well with kids, but when playing, she can be very gently mouthy, or corn-cobby, so bigger kids or teens would be best if living with kids. Cocoa was not crate trained upon arrival, but after only 2 weeks, she goes into the crate almost on command with a little food motivator. She is very relaxed in the crate. She does have slight separation anxiety that exhibits in crying for a little while upon first leaving or when she is crated in another room from you. Her oversized expressive ears, freckles and absolutely lovely, sweet personality could win anyones heart. Will it be yours?  August 2, 2025, 9:44 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Cocoa, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
