Coconut is a 2.5-year-old Lab mix with a beautiful spirit and a big heart. At about 53 lbs, he’s been living with a DC-area boarding partner and recently enjoyed a “pawcation” in a foster home, where he showed just how ready he is for family life. Though Coconut sometimes gets anxious—especially with crates—he thrives with patience, companionship, and routine. Outside of those moments, he’s affectionate, funny, and full of potential.
Why He’s the Ultimate Good Boy in Progress
🐾 Sweet, social, and curious about the world
🐶 Loves people and plays well with other dogs
🛋️ Couch cuddler and a loyal TV buddy
🌩️ Not even afraid of thunder!
🎾 Enjoys adventures, snuggles, and backyard play
💊 Doing well on anti-anxiety meds and learning to cope with change
😄 Always smiling—he knows a brighter future is coming
What He’s Looking For
✔️ A patient, attentive family who understands anxiety and crate aversion
✔️ A home where he can be close to his people and maybe have a doggy sibling
✔️ Someone willing to help him adjust and flourish with love and routine
✔️ A calm, understanding environment where he can gain confidence
Coconut is more than ready to be someone’s loyal best friend—he just needs that special person or family to believe in him. He has already shown how much love he has to give and how far he can go with support. Could you be the one to help Coconut reach his full pawtential? Come meet him this Saturday (7/12) from 12–2 PM at Petco in Bailey’s Crossroads (5825 Leesburg Pike, VA 22041)—he can’t wait to see you!
