Another volunteer writes:   Coco already has a ‘job’ at the Care Center – she’s a “corporate helper dog”!  When corporate groups come to visit and meet the dogs her even temperament and friendly good nature make her a natural for the job.  Rockstar!   I loved my time with Coco, she’s great on leash, loves to hug burying her head in the crook of my neck and purring……the best sound ever!   Her tail wags as she walks, she’ll stop for a hug when she thinks it’s hugging time (anytime is hugging time in my opinion), and while the squirrels in the park attract her interest she watches their antics never pulling towards them.   Surrendered to our care as the children developed allergies, her resume as a family dog is impressive.   Friendly to all, calm and respectful, no guarding of her things, good with other dogs as also demonstrated in playgroups with males and females, Coco is a total rockstar.   Our behavior team was so impressed with her good manners, as were all of us, they feel she will do well in a home with average dog experience.   Shouldn’t you be the one to make Coco yours?   Come meet our Rockstar today!
