About Koko

May I introduce Koko. She was microchipped but not registered! We were asked to take her in and this is what we were told: “I have a 2yr old female Mali cross that can be nervous of new people, she was brought into kennels due to owner being sectioned and another kennels apparently couldn’t handle her to the point she had to be sedated to be vaccinated by their vet and sedated to be transferred to my kennels. I have had her out and sat with her on several occasions and she is nothing but calm and relaxed to the point she will lay beside me and go to sleep. All kennel staff have said she is lovely and have had no concerns with her whatsoever.” Koko was born August 2020. She is now spayed and fully vaccinated. Koko had a spell in foster where she was still nervous of new people so will need careful introduction to any visitors or kept separate. She can be reactive to some dogs and can lunge at passing bikes, cars, joggers etc so will need someone who has experience that has time to work on this. A rural home may be best for her so she isn’t overwhelmed while out on walks. She is currently walked on a gencon headcollar as does pull on lead. She is fine around her toys and food but should be left alone with high value treats such as bones as will guard. Ok to be left for a few hours with no issues. “Koko needs an adult only home and be the only pet. Koko can be protective of her people once bonded with them. Koko is very toy driven specially with balls so training with toys helps massively.” Special home needed for this special girl.
