Editors note: Photo at left was taken of Connie (now Coco) when she was in her foster home during March/April of 2008.

My boyfriend and I adopted our dog Coco from your shelter about a year ago in April 2008. Her name was formerly Conni.

She is doing wonderfully, she's healthy and more gorgeous than we could have ever imagined she would turn out to be! She did great in all her training classes and is truly intelligent!

When we adopted her it was thought that she was a Chow Chow/Black Labrador mix. Now that she is a year old we have concluded that she is probably a Border Collie/Black Labrador mix because of her silky hair, smaller stature and activeness!

She is a wonderful girl and we are grateful to have adopted her from your facility! Thank you!!
