Coco - American Bully Dog for Adoption in Petersburg, Virginia

Coco spent years on a chain being invisible, and it shows. She came to us skinny, carrying old scars, fly bitten ears, and the kind of caution that comes from being let down by people. When a kind stranger picked her up, she was shaking with her tail tucked between her legs.
It took her about two hours to become a different dog.
Give Coco a treat, a yard, and a little kindness and she lights up. She loves to play, she can jump like a dog half her age, and she melts for treats, which makes training feel like a game to her. She is learning sit and down for the first time in her life and picking them up fast. She settles beautifully in a crate with her blankets and toys, and house training is a work in progress that improves with every day of routine.
Coco is around 7 years old with the spirit of a puppy who never got a puppyhood. She can enjoy other dogs when introductions are slow and play styles match, so any resident dog should meet her first, and she needs a home without cats. Her ideal match is a patient adopter who can give her consistency while she learns how to be a house dog, because she wants nothing more than to be one.
This sweet girl has done all her waiting. She is ready for the family that finally sees her.
Come meet Coco at Petersburg Animal Care and Control.
