Cocoa is a mini ‘velvet hippo’ mama bear who has recently weaned some pups – and now she’s ready to have her own life again. This fun-size 52 lb 3-year-old pittie mix is an absolute lover, she’s housetrained, and she’s got sweet soulful eyes with a gentle demeanor – and she even likes cats. She can be protective of kids with other dogs in the house – like we said, she’s a mama bear. Española Humane is recommending that if you have kids, she be an only dog. If you do not have kids, she loves other dogs and does great in playgroups – and she has been a perfect angel during her week vacation Read More
