Coco, born around February 27, 2023, and weighing about 60 lbs, came all the way from Puerto Rico with a story and spirit as vibrant as the island itself. Though his retriever-like looks suggest one breed, his athletic build and lightning-fast zoomies hint at Greyhound heritage. After being adopted by an elderly couple, Coco was returned simply because he grew a bit too big—not because of any fault of his own. This sweet, curious boy is ready to find his true forever family.
