Coco is a young, energetic mix who has shown many positive qualities while in our care. Staff and volunteers consistently describe her as social, affectionate, playful, highly food motivated, and eager to engage with people she knows. She enjoys toys, fetch, training activities, and attention, and has participated appropriately in shelter playgroups with other dogs.However, Coco also comes with a history of behavioral concerns in her previous home that make placement more challenging. Her former owners reported:- fearful and defensive behavior around some people, particularly children and unfamiliar situations, including lunging, barking, snapping- resource guarding behaviors in the home - conflict with another household dog and described Coco as needing slow, careful introductions to new people, animals, and environments.At the shelter, Coco has generally presented as social and manageable with staff, volunteers, and handlers, including during behavioral evaluations and dog introductions.

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
