Introducing Coco: A Loyal, High-Energy German Shepherd Mix Ready to Find His Forever Home
Meet Coco, a 3-year-old German Shepherd mix with a heart full of love and energy! Coco is a loyal and affectionate dog who thrives on human companionship. He loves people and is always excited to be around his family. However, like many dogs of his breed, he has a strong pack mentality and would do best in a home where he’s the only pet—or with another dog he’s comfortable with, like Koda (they can go home together, but they must be fed separately). Coco is looking for an experienced, active family who can provide the structure and mental stimulation he needs to be his best self.
While Coco is a loving and playful dog, he will need some basic training and guidance to help him refine his manners. He tends to resource guard, so his new family should be prepared to work with him on this behavior. Coco also needs a strict enrichment schedule to keep his mind and body engaged, preventing boredom or anxiety. With the right environment and dedication, Coco will make a wonderful and loyal companion.
Training & Behavior Needs:
Basic Training: Coco is smart and eager to learn, but he does need some guidance with basic commands and overall manners. He responds well to positive reinforcement, so consistency and patience will go a long way in helping him build better behavior. Coco will need regular training sessions to help him stay focused and well-behaved.
Resource Guarding: Coco does tend to resource guard, particularly when it comes to food or treats. He will need to be fed separately from other pets in the home, including Koda. His new family should be prepared to work with a trainer on this behavior to ensure a safe and calm environment during mealtimes.
Excitable & High-Energy: Coco has a lot of energy and can get overly excited at times, especially when meeting new people or in exciting environments. He’ll benefit from structured exercise, play, and training to help him manage his excitement and direct his energy in positive ways. Coco thrives on activity and will need regular physical and mental challenges to stay happy.
Pack Mentality & Other Pets: Coco has a strong pack mentality and is not good with other dogs. While he and Koda get along, they are not bonded and should be fed separately. For the best chance of success, Coco should be the only dog in the household, as he can get frustrated or overwhelmed by the presence

We require potential adopters to fill out an pre-adoption application. If that application is approved, the dog/cat must be spayed/neutered before it leaves our shelter (if not already done). If it is a puppy under 4 months old, we allow it to go home with the adopters under a foster care agreement until it is old enough to be returned for spay/neuter. Kittens are allowed to leave before spay/neuter is done, but they must be done within a certain time frame.
Fees: Dogs/puppies range from $150-300, depending on if they came in already spayed/neutered or if we paid to have that done.
Cats range from $80 - $140, though we often have deals on older cats or cats that have been there a long time.
Kittens are $60 with $25 refunded once it has been spayed/neutered.
All adoptions include at least the first vaccination, deworming, de-fleaing, microchip ID, and 6 weeks of pet insurance.
