Cocoa

Meet Cocoa — a cupful will warm your heart!

Cocoa came to the ASPCA Behavioral Rehabilitation Center as an extremely fearful stray, unsure of people and the world around her. Thanks to the structure and support of the program, she has blossomed into a curious, affectionate dog who is ready to enjoy life with her own family.

Cocoa is a true nature lover with the perfect mix of youthful energy and “I’m ready for a nap now” charm. She enjoys peaceful walks where she can sniff, explore and take everything in at her own pace. After her outdoor adventures, she settles in beautifully and is more than happy to curl up by your side for snuggles.

In her foster home, Cocoa is learning all the comforts of home life. The TV, new spaces and unfamiliar sounds were a little scary at first, but she’s getting braver every day! She now chooses to relax with her foster family in the living room. She has had no accidents in the house, learned that the back door is the way outside and has been quiet and respectful indoors.

Around other dogs, Cocoa shines with calm, respectful canine friends. She can walk with dogs of all ages and types, but she definitely prefers mellow company over rowdy playmates.

With people, Cocoa warms up quickly. She approaches new friends with curiosity and takes treats eagerly, and with her familiar humans she leans right in for soft scritches and gentle affection.

Cocoa is sweet, sensitive and full of heart. She is a little dog who has worked hard and is now ready for her next big step. Want to meet Cocoa? Click the “Submit an Adoption Inquiry” button and discover the cozy, outdoorsy companion you have been looking for.
