Coco - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Orange, Virginia

****ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS-AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AFTER 8/12

Coco is a 1.5-year-old, 21-pound Chihuahua mix who came to us with Oki when their family could no longer care for them.

Coco arrived looking a little different than she probably will a few months from now—she had been shaved down after dealing with fleas. So yes, she's currently a bit naked, but underneath it all is one ridiculously sweet little dog. With those ears, that long body and her current lack of clothing, there's something wonderfully NeverEnding Story about her.

Coco was housetrained in her previous home, but a new home means a new routine. Give her a little time and consistency to learn where the door is, what the schedule looks like and what her new family expects. Coco has lived with a young child and walks nicely on leash. Even being dropped into the noise and barking of a busy shelter didn't seem to faze her. She has been friendly, affectionate and remarkably easygoing while her entire world has changed around her.

Her coat will grow back. Her life gets to grow forward.

Coco has been brought current on her vaccines, her rabies vaccination was already current, she is microchipped, has been dewormed and treated for fleas and ticks. She has been spayed.
