Coco (Terrier)

My name is Coco and wow, am I a sweet girl. Just after I was rescued, we found out I was going to have puppies. My puppies are now finding homes of their own and it's time for me to as well. I'm very shy and timid at first, but will come around on my own time table. I have spent time in three different foster homes to help me overcome my shyness. I seem to be housetrained and crate trained. I love to observe things from a distance when I go to a new place, but will settle in well with a steady routine. You will notice me peeking around the corner at you from time to time and when I'm ready, I will take treats from you and approach gently for some ear scratches and petting. My foster families agree that I really do want your attention and approval, but it just takes me a little longer than most dogs to accept it. When you least expect it, I will grab toys and shake them and play. They all say that it is the cutest thing. I also get along with all other dogs I have met, so I am nicely social in that respect. Finally, small children will probably be overwhelming for me, so I will need a home with adults and older children. Because it might take me a little longer to adjust, my fosters are going to be very selective on where I go because they care for me so much. The perfect person for me is someone who will be patient and loving, and who will also not have high expectations for an immediate bond. That will come in time, I promise. You won't regret investing your time in me.
