Coco - Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Hopkinton, Massachusetts

Meet Coco!

Looking for a young, fun, ridiculously adorable pup to complete your family? Say hello to Coco! This 2-year-old, 40-ish-pound bundle of joy is ready to zoom her way right into your heart.

Coco was adopted last year by an older couple, but they ultimately found that they couldn't keep up with her energy. So, she's back in our care and looking for a family who's ready to match her zest for life-and give her the forever home she deserves.

And this girl is FUN. Coco is playful, affectionate, and still very much has that puppy personality. Whether she's chasing her favorite toy, showing off her silly side, or breaking into one of her signature zoomies, she's guaranteed to keep you smiling.

Coco would thrive in an active, dog-friendly home with at least one other playful pup to keep her company. She's also done well with the dog-savvy cats in her foster home. Older, dog-savvy kids would be a good match for her, too. A fenced-in yard would be a big bonus for this zoomie enthusiast!

Coco is currently in a local foster home, where she's doing great with her puppy basics, including house training, crate time, and leash walking. She's looking for a family who will keep her busy, continue her training, and help her grow into the confident, well-mannered girl she's destined to be.

If your idea of the perfect dog involves a little more play, a lot more fun, and plenty of zoomies, Coco might just be your girl!

Her foster says, "Coco is very friendly and energetic. She loves other dogs and loves to run and play. She has a ball that releases treats and she figured it out immediately. She is a puppy and likes to do puppy things like chew and jump but is very easily redirected. She is crate trained and will let you know when she needs out of the crate to go potty. She has a few accidents inside when out of crate but we are working on it. She likes car rides but will try to climb in your lap when driving to get a better view! She likes to explore her surroundings and will circle the house a lot when out of crate but does settle down after she checks everything out. She is very sweet and loves to give kisses. I think she is going to make a great dog for whomever is lucky enough to adopt her!"
