Meet Coquita

  Coquita is a curious and lively mix, who at an estimated 5 years old was sadly found wandering in traffic. She’s 11 lb, very smart, and well behaved. She’s looking for a home as either an only dog, or with another well-rounded pup as well as some medium activity humans to take on adventures.  Environment Coquita is house trained and x-pen trained. She sleeps through the night and knows how to use a pee pad if needed. She gets very excited when people are in the kitchen because she thinks it’s her time to shine. She can be quite vocal about it, so shared walls likely aren’t right for her. We don’t know how Coquita ended up loose in the road, so while a fenced yard isn’t mandatory, a close eye should be kept on her. She likes walks but is cautious around new dogs, so she will continue learning how to leash walk with confidence.  Pets & People Coquita is great with people once she gets an adequate introduction. At first, she’s very cautious and timid. Once she’s comfortable she warms up quickly and provides ample energy and entertainment. The same goes for other dogs. She may take a little time and space but has adjusted to current company well.  Location Coquita is available for adoption from Key Largo, FL. She will ONLY be adopted in South Florida as she hates the car and does not travel well. Please email [email protected] with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Coquita is $375.00.
