Coco

German Spitz · Female · Young · 1 year

Coco must be rehomed to a household where she will have the companionship of another dog. Coco is a beautiful 1-year-old Spitz who is looking for a patient and understanding home to help her truly flourish. She has lived in a home environment before, but she does find it difficult to fully settle, so she’ll need adopters who are willing to give her time, structure, and reassurance as she builds confidence. Coco would really benefit from living with an existing calm and confident dog who can help guide her and show her the ropes of everyday life. She takes comfort from other dogs and is likely to learn a lot from a steady companion. She will need support with housetraining and learning to be left alone. Any time left will need to be introduced very gradually, and initially she’ll need someone at home most of the time to help her feel secure and avoid becoming overwhelmed. Coco can live with sensible children aged 12 and over. She also experiences travel sickness in the car, so this is something her new family will need to be mindful of and work on gently over time. Once Coco feels safe, her lovely personality really shines through. She is a sweet little girl who loves to play and enjoys cuddles with her people. With patience, consistency, and kindness, Coco has so much potential to grow into a wonderful companion. If you’re able to offer Coco the understanding and stability she needs, you’ll be rewarded with a loyal and loving friend.

About Coco

What life with Coco looks like

Coco is a young adult german spitz dog waiting at Dogs Trust Kenilworth in Kenilworth.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Coco, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Coco?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Kenilworth handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Coco on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Coco if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust Kenilworth will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Coco already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Coco isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dogs Trust Kenilworth early rather than rehoming privately; they know Coco and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
