Cuddly Coco needs a new cozy spot in Alexandria

By James Cullum

Six-year-old Coco likes the simple things, like stuffed toys and treats. The six-year-old Staffordshire terrier is also looking to be adopted through the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria.

“Coco is the cuddliest girl, with the most squishable face, and be ready for her to take her place of honor on your lap,” AWLA spokesperson Gina Hardter told ALXnow. “Coco loves her people and wants to be the sole focus of their attention, so she would prefer to be your only pup to make sure she has all your love and snuggles.”

Coco also loves stuffed toys that make noise and can regularly be seen carrying one around on walks, napping with one or showing her human friends how they can be used in an excellent game of tug-of-war.

You can schedule time to meet with Coco in-person or virtually at AlexandriaAnimals.org/Adopt-By-Appointment.
