COQUETA

 

Female | 4 years | 36 pounds | Medium energy | Great second dog | Not cat-tested | Good with kids | From Mexico | Fostered in East York | Curious and gentle

If you’ve seen the movie “Amélie” you can picture sweet Coqueta – she’s playful, curious, a bit shy, and just beginning to find her confidence! Coqueta has come a long way since her timid first days and is becoming a wonderful companion who loves affection and gentle companionship. With her soft “bunny ears” and heart-melting snores, she’s as charming as she is lovable.

Coqueta’s ideal day includes a few walks, some backyard exploring, and plenty of naps (she’s a champion sleeper!). She lives with a toddler and is wonderfully gentle, making her a great fit for families. She enjoys hanging with her humans and will occasionally look to her furry housemate for comfort and playtime. Coqueta would thrive in a calm, supportive home where her people are around for most of the day—she can be vocal when left alone in her crate, so condo-living might be challenging initially.

This gentle soul is making progress with her leash skills but could use some practice to build confidence. While she’s comfortable with her foster sibling and passes other dogs with ease, she’s still a bit wary of new people and bustling environments. For car rides, she’ll need a little time to adjust, so patience (and maybe a comfy crate) will help her get there!

Coqueta would love a calm, steady dog friend, but could do well as a solo dog too. While she may need time to trust fully, she has so much love to give and will blossom with the right family by her side. If you’re looking for a gentle, loyal companion who’s as curious about the world as she is sweet, Coqueta could be the perfect addition to your family!
