Cocoa - Shepherd Dog Available for Adoption in Tuba City, Arizona

This is our girl Cocoa. And, boy has she come a LONG way! When rescued at just 4 months old Cocoa was a feral (dogs without human contact or any type of human dependence; typically born and raised in the wild, they rely on natural instincts for survival) puppy. With love, kindness, learning to trust and the help of a professional trainer she's made a successful journey towards being domesticated in a short time!

Now, at 8 months old, Cocoa has accomplished so much! She understands and does well on a short-term leash walk. She can successfully meet new people. Cocoa absolutely LOVES other dogs and can adapt to any play style. She, without a doubt, will do best in a home that already has one or several dogs.
Watch out for your shoes... a favorite game of hers is stealing shoes! BUT, she'll always bring them back when asked. SUCH a good girl! Cocoa is typically a calm puppy but she does like to play. She's not at all a difficult dog, she just has occasional quirks. She definitely looks to her human for guidance and her new people will need to be patient and willing to continue with her training; providing her with that support.

With the amazing progress she's made... it says a lot about the kind of adult dog she can become with a patient person that continues to teach her that the world isn't such a scary place after all!

Cocoa is a 'turnkey' puppy! She's had all of her puppy vaccinations, is microchipped and spayed. She's just waiting for her Furever person or family to find her!! She is available for meet and greets in the metro-Phoenix area.
