How is the dog off the lead?
Sometimes good and sometimes bad.
Escape artist
Not really but she may take advantage of an open gate to explore so you will need to make sure you close doors and gates etc….
Nuisance barker?
Coco will alert you if someone strange is about.
Toilet trained
Yes
Tolerance to being alone
She can manage being alone however, preference will be given where she has human company more often than not.
Likes
She really enjoys her walks and treats - especially cheese
Dislikes
She doesn't like cats but hasn't shown any fear or dislike for other animals. Coco does not like rough play or the chaos of a young family. She is little and does not like to be surprised.
Ideal home
Coco would thrive in the company of an older person who is wanting a companion to cherish and love. Coco is people orientated and is also very affectionate. She likes attention but can be left to her own devices if she is calm and comfortable.
Generally
She can scare easily or get a fright from children or if she is crept up on. She does enjoy being alone if she feels comfortable. Coco can be very active and playful. She will bark if a stranger comes to the door, someone walks past the window or if she has been left alone for a long period of time.

Adoption details
1) Read the dog's profile
2) Complete the expression of Interest form
http://www.dogadoption.org.au/adoption---expression-of-interest.html
3) Speak to the carer and arrange a meeting
4) House assessment is completed
5) Adoption is completed with a minimum 2 week cooling off period (similar to a trial but with legal protection)
We strongly recommend you read the dogs' profile carefully as everything we know about the dog/s is listed.
If you are interested in a dog we invite you to submit an application form so we can learn more about your circumstances. This is to ensure we match the right dog to the best home. (one form per family - not per dog) http://www.dogadoption.org.au/adoption---expression-of-interest.html
This is for the benefit of both the dog and the potential new owner/s. It also saves time and uses limited resources more effectively.
Once the essential criteria is confirmed we put you in touch with the carer for a more detailed chat with a view of meeting the dog/s.
If you decide to proceed with the adoption we make a time for a house check.
The adoption fee is then paid (there is a 2 week cooling off period.) Please note we do not usually allow trials.
Foster carers are also able to adopt foster dogs once approved.
