About

Little Coco is only 5 years old and 17 pounds of sweetness. This Yorkshire terrier mix LOVES people, LOVES belly rubs, and if she really likes you-she might give you some kisses. Coco came from a home with too many pets. In fact, it was a hoarding situation where Coco cohatited with 20 other animals. Now that she is away from the chaos, Coco might do well as the only dog in the home, as she has a dominate personality around other dogs. Bascially, Coco wants to be the queen of your castle. Coco can be playful, is picky about her treats, and will do anything for attentiona and affection. In her previous home, Coco had only left the house a handful of times. (She uses peepee pads). Going for walks is a new thing for her, so a proper, well fitted harness and martingale collar may be best as loud noises startle her. To meet Coco, fill out the pre-adoption application on the website www.humanebroward.com and then stop by the shelter located at 2070 Griffin Road, Fort Lauderdale, FL. The adoption kennels open daily at 11 a.m. and if you have any questions call 954-989-3977 ext. 6.
