Story
Hi! My name is Coco, I am guessed to be a 2.5 yr old Chihuahua and I am a super sweet boy. I’m back to Big Bones because my first adoption didn’t work. It’s not my fault things didn’t work out. I just need a different family with no kids or older kids that respect my space. I don’t remember being a newborn puppy, but something really scary must have happened, because I’m very skittish.
I need a family with a lot of time, patience and love to help me become the dog I can be. My current adult human is very busy, and there’s a 9-year-old human here that is not my favorite. She’s not mean, but she’s a little loud, moves a little too quickly, and sometimes she’s a little too unpredictable for my comfort. When I came to this home, the 9-year-old wanted to become best friends. but I prefer to have a home without kids. I am just not used to them. We tried for more than a year, and the adult human, has decided that there’s a better home out there for me. So, we’re on a quest to find me that home.
Here’s some more about me:
- I have cute tails wags and run in happy circles when my people come home.
- When the only human in the house is my adult human, I’m still a bit jumpy, but I’m pretty well adjusted. I like hopping up on the bed and snuggling, especially if I can get under the nice warm covers or chomp on my rawhide bone.
- I typically get along well with the other pets in my home (one dog and two cats). We play and sometimes we even groom each other. There are times I get on their nerves and get hissed or growled at. But, I’m the baby brother. And what baby brother doesn’t get on their siblings’ nerves sometimes
- I am not a fan of strangers. If they look at me, I run away.
- When I get scared, I like to run into my crate so I can have my space. So, hopefully, my new home will have a crate or safe space for me. Especially in the early days.
- I have some accidents in my house. My adult says that’s mostly because our walks aren’t often enough or long enough (we live in a condo, so I don’t have a backyard). I would probably pick up house training faster with a safe fenced yard.
- I saw the vet in January and got a clean bill of health. Though the vet did say I’m a bit overweight.
I am am being fostered by my current family until I find new home. If I sound like a good fit, I am waiting in Broomfield and I look forward to meeting you!
