Coco (Austin)

Meet Cocoa Bean, mostly known as “little bit” in her foster home because she’s so little. We just can’t say enough good things about Cocoa.  She has charmed everyone she has met! In short, she's a gorgeous, petite, athletic cuddlebug. We think she is around 2 years old, so she’s beyond those crazy puppy years but there are so many great years to come!
Cocoa Bean is fantastic with other dogs! She has shown no signs of aggression even when the resident dogs in her foster home have snarled at her or even tried to pick fights. While she does get along with other dogs great, she seems to rely more on her person than her doggy companions, so we think she would do well as an only pet or with other dogs. 
She really wants nothing more than to have a life equal parts running and cuddling. Cocoa would love a home where there is someone home a lot as she definitely wants to be your shadow and gets sad when her people leave (although she does settle down in her crate after a few minutes). She would also love a home that has a creative way to keep her safe and contained while getting her exercise, such as coyote rollers or an invisible fence. Little Miss Cocoa can clear a 6 ft fence in the blink of an eye, so her forever people are going to have to get creative to keep her safe. Foster mom is using an e-collar during supervised outside time, and so far that has helped. 
This girl is very birdy and prey driven, and she tends to stay quiet while backyard hunting, so we think she may make a good hunting companion. Because she is so prey driven, she will do best without cats or other prey-like critters around.  
Cocoa has some basic manners and is food motivated so with a little training, she can learn what she lacks. She does need a little help on the potty training but with a little time and patience, she’ll be 100%. She paces when she needs out and if foster mom isn’t fast enough, she has had some accidents, but it’s very clear that she knows that outside is the place to go. 
Cocoa would love to be able to sleep with her person, but she is also doing very well sleeping in her crate at night at her foster home.  
If you think you and Cocoa could be a match, let us know!
