Coco
About This Dog
Coco's ideal home
Coco will thrive in a calm, predictable home, ideally in a quieter or more rural area. She enjoys relaxed, structured exercise and benefits from opportunities to decompress, helping her feel settled and secure. An active home is absolutely welcome, as long as enrichment focuses on quality rather than intensity.
She can happily live with older, secondary‑school‑aged children who are confident with dogs and able to follow guidance. Coco has previously lived successfully with teenagers and is gentle and tolerant with children she knows, enjoying calm, well‑managed interactions. She could potentially live with primary school-aged children, pending successful meets at the centre.
Coco is looking for a physically strong, confident handler who is committed to continuing her training and building her confidence on walks, particularly around other dogs. A private garden or access to quiet outdoor spaces would be ideal, along with limited leaving hours to support her wellbeing.
Coco needs to be the only pet in the home. While she has mixed well with known dogs in controlled settings, a pet‑free household will give her the best chance to relax, feel safe, and truly flourish.
Could you be Coco's perfect match?
Coco is a lovely five‑year‑old Lurcher currently in our Homestay scheme due to a change in her owner’s circumstances.
She is a sweet, affectionate, and people‑focused girl who forms strong bonds with those she knows. Naturally curious, Coco enjoys exploring at her own gentle pace and approaches new experiences thoughtfully, soon relaxing and seeking reassurance through fuss or treats. She adores cuddles on the sofa or bed, enjoys enrichment activities, and truly thrives on calm, positive interaction. With her trusted people, she is loyal, loving, and beautifully gentle.
Coco is fully housetrained and has been reliable with her toileting indoors.
She has previously coped well with being left for up to eight hours without any destructive behaviour or vocalising. In her future home, shorter leaving hours or some flexibility around time alone would help her feel even more secure and settled.
Coco travels well in the car and is happiest settled on the back seat, where she often relaxes or sleeps throughout the journey.
