Coco Isn’t for Everyone.
But Maybe He’s Just Right For You.
Coco is an 8-year-old, 17-pound Italian Greyhound/Chihuahua mix who has come a long way since arriving at Gerdy’s.
He is a sweet, affectionate little dog who bonds closely with his person. Once he trusts you, his funny, playful personality comes out. He is smart, house-trained and responds very well to training.
Most importantly, he is making progress. His leash walking has improved enormously and he is now quite good on walks. He can still bark at some dogs, but responds to redirection and continues to improve.
Coco’s real challenge is unfamiliar people in the home. When overwhelmed, his anxiety can escalate and he may bark continuously. He is not ready for new visitors. He is also still uncomfortable in the car and will need time to build confidence.
Coco needs an experienced foster or adopter who understands anxious dogs and is comfortable with a slow, steady approach. A quiet, predictable home, someone who is around much of the time and a consistent routine would be ideal. We also recommend that Coco be the only pet.
This is not a dog for a busy household or someone looking for an instant, effortless fit. It is, however, a dog who has already shown that he can change when given the right support.
Coco is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and housetrained.
We urgently need the right foster or adopter for Coco.
