In the shelter’s words

Meet Coco, an amazing 60-lb pit bull with a heart of gold and a serious talent for stealing hearts (and maybe the occasional snack—he’s a professional smuggler, after all!). Coco is quite possibly the most lovable dog we’ve ever fostered. He always wants to be touching his people—leaning against your legs while you cook, snuggling close on the couch, or keeping watch from a dining room chair when you leave or arrive home, gazing out the window like he’s been counting the minutes until your return. OMG … look at these fabulous videos: * video 1 * video 2 * video 3 He’s very food-motivated and impressively patient. Coco knows how to sit, shake, and lie down, and his self-control is top-tier: if a treat is placed on the floor and he’s told “no,” he’ll stare at it intently and wait until he’s given the okay. Take a look at this video — Coco Ross is so smart! That said, he’ll happily trade treats for quality couch time with his favorite humans. Coco loves toys—especially ripping them apart—but he never eats the pieces. He enjoys walks when the weather cooperates and is perfectly content skipping outings when it’s bitter cold. Thankfully, he loves wearing sweaters and looks extra handsome staying cozy. At night, Coco sleeps soundly in his crate (snoring included!), and during the day he enjoys having free rein of the house. Coco Ross would do best as the only pet in the home, where he can enjoy all the love and attention to himself. He prefers not to share his space with other dogs, and a cat-free home would be the best fit for him. Coco is a loving, laid-back guy looking for a home where he can enjoy comfy naps, gentle walks, and plenty of affection. If you’re searching for a loyal companion who will always be by your side—literally—Coco might be your perfect match. Coco Ross is from a local impound.
