More about Big Coco

Meet Big Coco, an absolutely stunning American Bulldog lady who sadly came to be at Battersea after being picked up as a stray. Coco really enjoys playing with her toys and also LOVES her food! She has some good basic obedience already in place and due to her love of food, has the potential to learn so much more.

Coco can be nervous of strangers and may use her voice to express her worry. She does, however, make friends very quickly with the right approach and now has a wide circle of friends at our centre. We have spent time training Coco to wear a head collar, which she walks very well on. Coco will need her own private garden for some house training reminders and would benefit from living in a settled household in a quieter location. Coco can at times be quite over enthusiastic when meeting other dogs, so will need new owners who are confident to continue her socialising and who ideally understand bull breeds and their sometimes 'forward' body language when they introduce themselves to other dogs! We have been working hard on Coco's dog interactions, providing her with some positive experiences where she has greeted other dogs and walked with them and she has made lots of great progress making good choices and remaining relaxed around the other dogs.

This lovely lady would like to be the only pet in her new home so she can enjoys all of her family's attention to herself. She will need the time she is left alone built up slowly and could live with teenagers, pending intros at our Brands Hatch centre. Coco is a beautiful bean who will make a very rewarding and loyal addition to the lucky family who take her home.

We ask every customer to first complete our online form before we discuss an individual animal, so if you have not filled in our form yet you can find the details on how to do so here: https://www.battersea.org.uk/rehoming. We cannot discuss dogs with interested parties until this step has been completed.

If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Big lady Coco, you can e-mail our rehoming team on bbh.rehomers@battersea.org.uk to register your interest.

Please be aware that we have a large amount of interest in rehoming our animals, so we will only be able to contact those that who could be a match for the dog you have contacted us about.
