My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi there! I’m Coco, a healthy 3-year-old male Pomeranian mix, weighing in at a petite 7.6 lbs. I’m super friendly and love hanging out with people—especially if you’ve got a soft plush toy or a cozy blanket nearby.

Unfortunately, I was given up recently by my family, because my owner could no longer care for me – she had become ill and was too frail/immobile. I had a pretty big family before, with 5 kids around, and I got along just fine with them. I’m cool with cats, too, and other dogs are just fine with me. I also have one tiny pet peeve: I don’t like it when people touch my food while I’m eating, but really, who does?

I love to snuggle. I'm okay in a crate, but get a bit vocal if I can't see my people. I really just want to be with my people. I'm kind of high energy, but if you're sleeping or watching tv, I'm happy to snuggle.

I get a little nervous about baths and grooming, but I warm up pretty quickly, and I’m actually a smart little guy, so I can be very obedient once I settle in. I’m playful and affectionate, too. If you love small dogs, you might also want to meet my buddy, Bear. We’re like two peas in a pod and could be a great team for your home!

Additional adoption info

The process to adopt/foster dogs and cats is different. Please speak to the volunteer assisting you in the adoption process to confirm details about the process.

Go meet their pets

We hold adoption events every weekend in the DC/Baltimore Metro Area and also schedule private meet and greets once a potential adopter/foster has applied for a specific dog or cat.
