Meet Coco (aka Peppermint Patty)
Hi friends, my name is Peppermint Patty, but I wasn't answering to that very well, so my foster started called me Coco and I like it better. I am a 1 year old, 30 lb. female Shepherd/Malinois Mix.
I am a sweet girl from Louisiana looking for a second chance at life. I am a dream of a dog. Seriously, I am. I am good with dogs of all kinds and kids of all ages once I get comfortable with them but can be fearful at first.
I am a young dog, and could potentially grow a bit more so I would prefer to be in a home with children 5 and up, so I don’t accidentally run them over.
My ideal home would be with an active family, and must have at least 1 playful dog and possibly some kids who would keep me busy. I am active, but don’t need a whole lot of exercise. A good, long walk or run (an hour at least) around the neighbourhood in the morning is enough for me. Then I will relax during the day with my favourite toys and follow you around wherever you go.
I walk very nicely on the leash and am crate trained at night. A backyard would be nice, as I love to sniff around and play around with my toys, but is not a must, as long as my family understands that I will need regular good exercise.
No one is perfect, and neither am I. I do have some fears when it comes to loud, sudden noises in the home so an experienced large breed owner is preferred.
If you are looking for a large breed dog with an even bigger heart, apply. I would love to meet you!
