"CoCo"
(Entertainment ~ 04/08/11)
This week's Pet of the Week at the Blytheville Humane Society is Coco, an adult female shepherd/chow mix. CoCo is completely housebroken and has never had an accident in her kennel. She is HW positive, and is undergoing HW treatment. A truck that sits on the property is her favorite place to go -- she will jump in the back of the truck and wag her tail as if to say "let's go." CoCo is up-to-date with routine shots. For more information, call the Humane Society at 870-532-6698 or send e-mail to humanesociety1@earthlink.net.
