Hi, I’m Coco!
My nickname is Coco Bean, because I’m sweeter than chocolate, and as tiny as a baby bean! I’m 7 pounds of love and cuteness, and I’m so excited to find my forever family!
As any distinguished Chihuahua does, I have some specific preferences. I like to be picked up in a certain way (don’t worry, you’ll learn how), and I like to have my harness put on in a certain way, and I like to be pet in a certain way, and I like to sniff certain smells on certain routes on my walks!
Some might call me a diva, but my foster mom calls me ‘a pint-sized bundle of cuddles’ and says that I’m the best girl ever and ‘so easy to take care of’. I promise I really am! Just a few quick walks a day are all the exercise I need, and I’m very laid back and well-behaved at home. I can get a little anxious when my routine changes, so I’m looking for a family who will be happy to keep things consistent. I also love to be with my people more than anything, so I’m practicing staying home alone without getting upset. My foster family thinks I’ll get better at this as I settle in, and gain confidence that they are going to come back when they leave.
I live with a cat, and we get along fine, though let me just say, he has an attitude problem. He sometimes tries to snuggle my people, my people! Can you believe that? Somehow, I rise above and remain very civil with him. I’m also pretty neutral towards other dogs as well. I don’t usually want to play or even sniff hello, but I’m fine with other dogs saying hi if they want. I really just don’t have the time, myself. I’ve got to get back to snuggling my humans!
Speaking of which, I’m really looking for a family who wants a snugglebug of a pup. I like to spend most of my time resting and napping, preferably in someone’s bed, with my people close by. I do get the zoomies on occasion, and like to run around on the bed with my toys. But after a quick play break, its back to napping for me!
If you’re looking to add a whole bunch of sweetness with a little bit of spice to your life, I might just be your cup of tea…er…Coco!!! Apply to adopt me today!
Coco has a luxating patella and is on heart medication.
