Meet Coco: A gentle giant ready for a fresh start!

Coco is a big-hearted, sweet girl who is more than ready to trade her past life for a future full of cuddles and love! She came into our care after her previous owner sought out assistance with finding her and five of her littermates their new forever homes. Right now, it's Coco's time to shine as we begin searching for the loving family she so very much deserves.

We don't call Coco a sweet "gentle giant" for nothing. This girl is a Great Pyrenees/Saint Bernard and an absolute sweetheart who thrives on attention. Coco's favorite place to be is right by your side, and she'll often just plop down at your feet, gazing up with adoring eyes, hoping for a scratch behind the ears. If you're looking for a dog that will be your loveable, loyal shadow, Coco may be your girl.

Coco has spent the recent part of her life living outside and, well, she hasn't exactly been shy about enjoying a good roll in the dirt! She's currently in need of a thorough grooming and clean-up, including a much-needed bath. Don't worry— she'll be getting the spa treatment with a good cleanse and a brushing before she heads off to her new home.

Because Coco is transitioning from an outdoor life and a change in her environment, her new family will need to commit to providing a stable, consistent environment to help her succeed. She is actively working on the fundamentals and is looking for a home that can offer patience and persistence. She will need a dedicated routine to continue working on her house training. Accidents are part of the learning process, so a family ready to be patient and persistent with positive reinforcement will be key. A structured daily schedule will also help her quickly master her leash manners and basic obedience.

**Coco has been brought up-to-date on her vaccinations and heartworm bloodwork testing. She is scheduled for her spay surgery on 10/28/25 and will be ready for adoption around 10/30/25.
