About Coco
Meet Coco, a gentle and loving soul with so much affection to share. Though she might appear a bit timid and submissive at first, all she needs is a little time to warm up, and you'll find a delightful and devoted companion in her. Coco is incredibly people-focused, always eager to offer love to those who earn her trust.
Once bonded, Coco becomes an affectionate and curious "Velcro dog," following you from room to room, eager for cuddles and companionship. Her gentle nature makes her an ideal match for adopters who appreciate a dog that thrives on human connection and gentle affection. She has lived with and adores kids.
Coco benefits greatly from canine companionship, as other dogs help her step out of her comfort zone, encouraging her to play and enjoy her surroundings. Given her initial timidness, a loving family that can patiently build trust and offer reassurance will be the perfect environment for Coco to flourish.
Smart as she is, Coco is quick to learn and adapt, making her a wonderful pet for experienced dog owners or those looking to nurture a loving bond. Her startle reflex can sometimes catch her by surprise, but this soft-hearted girl settles quickly with calm reassurance and loving attention. If you are ready to open your heart and home, Coco will repay you with unwavering loyalty and a lifetime of love.

Adoption details
We run by appointment, preferably all members of the household to come meet the animal you are wanting to adopt.
If you own another dog, you must bring them along to make sure all dogs get along.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
Appointment Hours:
Mon- Fri
1:00PM- 4PM
Saturdays for November
10am-1pm
Sat 1st
Sat 15th

Please give the shelter a call on 5334 2075 or email animalshelter@ballarat.vic.gov.au for more information about the animal and our adoption procedures.
Apologies if we do not reply to your enquiry, we are a busy Shelter and get pulled away from the office often.
We appreciate you wanting to adopt! Please do not let this discourage you from adopting in the future!
