If ever there was a puppy designed to melt hearts, it's little Coco.
This gorgeous Mini Dachshund girl may be tiny in size, but she is overflowing with sweetness, affection and charm. With her sleek black-and-tan coat, soulful eyes and the cutest little white spot beneath her chin, Coco is the sort of puppy people fall in love with at first sight.
Like most young Dachshunds, Coco is curious about the world around her and happiest when she's close to her people. She loves companionship, enjoys being involved in family life and is already showing the loving, loyal nature that has made Dachshunds one of Australia's most popular companion breeds.
Coco is looking for a home where she will be treated as a cherished family member. She will thrive with people who understand that puppies need time, patience and guidance as they learn about the world. In return, she promises a lifetime of laughter, devotion and cuddles.
Mini Dachshunds are intelligent little dogs with larger-than-life personalities. They form strong bonds with their families and are equally happy joining you on adventures or snuggling up beside you at the end of the day.
Because Coco is still a young puppy, she is not yet parvo-safe and will need to complete her vaccination course before visiting public places frequented by unknown dogs.
Coco is offered for adoption under Southern Downs ARK's Deferred Desexing Program. The cost of her future desexing is included in her adoption fee, subject to the terms and conditions of the Deferred Desexing Adoption Contract.
Interstate adoption is available, and we are happy to assist with obtaining transport quotes and arranging travel.
If you're looking for a tiny best friend with a heart every bit as big as her personality, Coco may be the perfect addition to your family.

No known pre-existing conditions.
