With soft, searching eyes and a heart full of quiet hope, Koko is an 8-year-old German Shepherd who’s trying to make sense of her new surroundings. At 62 pounds, this soulful senior walks politely on leash, always scanning the world around her as if looking for something familiar—perhaps the feeling of home she once knew.
Though shy with affection and unsure about treats, Koko will press her head gently into your hand when approached with calm, quiet kindness. It’s her way of asking for reassurance, of saying she still believes in love. She isn’t reactive to other dogs and responds well to gentle, patient handling.
