Labrador Retriever and Cattle Dog Dogs Available for Adoption in Shingle Springs, California

Hello all, I want to introduce you to 26 Cocoa. She appears to be a Lab/Cattle Dog or possibly Border Collie mix, fixed Female, estimated about 2 years, currently about 76 pounds with the cutest large ears and paws.

I want to let you know that Cocoa has been a treasure to Foster, one of the most loving dogs I have ever fostered, and that is saying something as I have been fostering for over 7 years, with some of the best dogs in the world. She entered the house and showed none of the usual new environment trauma as expected. As soon as we entered the house and yard, she introduced herself to my dogs and they played outside together. as soon as they came in Cocoa settled down and rolled over with her legs in the air, happy as a clam. She is willing to do what ever is asked of her, with a happy look on her face.

How does 26 Cocoa react to:

Dogs - blended with my to Large dogs well. Can be a single dog if the human is attentive.

Cats - She has seen my cat but shows no interest at all.

Kids - i have not seen her with kids, but she is such good girl I can’t imagine there would be a problem.

House Training - very well, she whines to go out if she wants company, otherwise she uses the Doggy Door. She learned door within 20 minutes after arriving and appears to love the easy access to outside. When she is serious about potty, she prefers to not be watched so I turn away or turn the corner.

Crate Training - She came crate trained, I just had to show her where it was.she sleeps all night in a crate, moving around several time but happy to be there.

Leash Training - She came leash trained but can alway use more detailed training there.
