Description:
Meet Cocoa – A Gentle Soul Ready to Blossom with Love and Patience Cocoa is a quiet, tender-hearted girl who’s still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place. After coming to us as a devoted mama, she watched as her puppies found homes—now it’s her turn to be someone’s cherished companion. Cocoa is still learning to trust people, and she’ll need a patient, understanding home where she can take things at her own pace. With gentle guidance, positive reinforcement, and lots of love, she’s already making progress—especially when it comes to walking on a leash. With praise and encouragement, she’s picking it up beautifully. She also does well with other dogs and would truly benefit from having a confident canine friend in the home. Another dog could help show her the ropes and give her the comfort and support she needs to continue opening up and learning how to just be a dog. Cocoa may not be the kind of pup to run into your arms on day one—but give her time, and she’ll show you just how special a bond built on trust can be. If you have a big heart, a gentle hand, and the patience to help a sweet girl blossom, Cocoa may be the perfect addition to your family. Call the Ranch today to meet Cocoa—you might be the safe haven she’s been waiting for. Thank you for considering adopting a Rescue Ranch dog.
