COCO - Akita Dog for Adoption in Marietta, Georgia

Meet Coco! Coco was surrendered to the shelter on 8/19 because her family travels frequently and could no longer give her the time and care she deserves. Her former family shared that she is house-trained, good with children, and dog-friendly. Volunteers describe Coco as a true beauty with a gorgeous coat and an equally beautiful personality! She's friendly, playful, and a dream to walk on leash. She even sits when asked—what a good girl! Coco is ready to find a loving family who will adore her as much as we do.

Coco is approximately 6 years old and weighs 67 lbs. She is UTD on vaccines and will be spayed and microchipped upon adoption. Unfortunately, Coco did test positive for heartworms, but with proper treatment and care she can go on to live a long and healthy life. Please speak with shelter staff about the option of fostering to adopt while she receives treatment. Coco is waiting patiently in kennel 831; her ID # is 21893.
