Sweet, Cuddly 4-Year-Old Pup Looking for Her Forever Home
Meet Koko, a 35lb pitbull/hound/cattle dog mix with the sweetest heart. She’s house-trained, crate-trained, and loves nothing more than belly rubs, cuddles, and greeting her person with excitement every time they walk through the door. Food is the key to her heart—she’s smart, eager to please, and always ready for a treat!
Koko would do best with an experienced dog owner who can give her consistency and structure. She gets nervous around other dogs and young children, so she’s looking for a home where she can be the only pet and live without the unpredictability of little kids. On walks she can be leash reactive, but she’s very trainable and responds well to patience and positive reinforcement.
Koko is turning 4 in November and dreams of celebrating her birthday in her forever home. She’s a loving, affectionate companion who just needs the right match to thrive. Could that be you?
