Coconut - Chihuahua and American Staffordshire Terrier Dog for Adoption in Mooresville, North Carolina

***** Please note, once you complete the initial screening, you will be connected with the placement for a video chat. Transports run every few weeks, and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time. We are a volunteer-run rescue and donate our time to these dogs. IF you are not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply. If someone other than yourself is part of the decision-making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board. We do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog. ***********

Meet Coconut

This adorable 4-month-old Chihuahua/Staffie mix, confirmed by DNA testing, weighs about 28 pounds and is already full of personality. He's playful, curious, confident, and always looking for something exciting to do! Whether he's chasing his favorite toys, investigating every corner of the room, or showing off his little leader energy, Coconut knows how to keep life entertaining. He's growing fast, learning every day, and ready to find a family to share all his puppy adventures with!

Coconut would love an active family who can keep his clever little mind busy and give him plenty of opportunities to play, explore, and learn. He's an outgoing boy who enjoys being part of the action, but don't let that fool you — he has a sweet, affectionate side, too! After a day of puppy shenanigans, he's more than happy to slow down and soak up some love. He's the kind of pup who can bring laughter and excitement into your home, then melt your heart with his adorable puppy charm.

One of Coconut's biggest perks? He's great with children of all ages! He could also enjoy having a playful canine sibling to romp around with, although he's perfectly capable of being your one-and-only furry sidekick. With his social personality and enthusiasm for life, Coconut would love a home where he can be included in the fun, continue exploring the world, and grow into the amazing dog he's meant to be.

Of course, Coconut is still a baby, and he's learning all about sharing, boundaries, and good puppy manners. He is also is crate and potty trained up to 8 hours! He can be a little possessive of his favorite toys and treats, so his future family should be prepared to continue working on positive, reward-based training and appropriate management as he matures. He's a smart, curious boy with so much potential, and with consistency, patience, and plenty of encouragement, he'll have every opportunity to blossom!

If you've been searching for a puppy with personality for days, a playful spirit, and a heart ready to grow alongside yours, Coconut might just be your perfect match! He's ready for adventures, playtime, family memories, and all the love that comes with finally having a place to call home.

Puppies under 6 months are adopted on a spay/neuter contract, and adopters will be responsible for having them altered when age-appropriate.

NOTE: $100 OF YOUR ADOPTION DONATION WILL BE REFUNDED AFTER YOU SHOW PROOF OF FUTURE SPAY/NEUTER
