Coco - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Alexandria, Virginia

Ready to make a new friend! My name is Coco and I am a big sweetheart of a dog with an even bigger heart. I have lived with dogs and cats in my previous home and we all got along just fine. And it has been reported that I have pretty good house manners and am crate trained. I am a happy dog who has never met a person I didn't like. As I am still on the young side, I would benefit from continuing to work on my manners and training. I am an energetic pup who enjoys outdoor adventures, playtime and plenty of mental stimulation. I would be a great playmate for another energetic pup. But don't get me wrong -- when playtime is over, I turn into a huge cuddle bug. I can be a very affectionate girl! So if you have an active lifestyle like I do and are looking for a loving companion, come on down to the shelter so we can meet. I can't wait to meet my new best friend!
Thanks to a generous donor, my adoption fees have been paid! Learn more about our Adopt It Forward program!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
