Gorgeous Coco is looking for a home where she can do what she was bred for – to be a loyal guardian, watching over her territory and keeping her people safe.
The Caucasian Shepherd is a large and powerful guardian breed from the Caucasus Mountains. Originally bred to protect livestock from predators, they are fearless, loyal, and highly protective. Coco is not your average house pet and will need a very special kind of home.
Coco certainly kept us on our toes when she first arrived. After spending the first five years of her life with one family, she sadly came to us after they separated. She passed all her initial assessments and showed herself to be a loving family pet. However, the change in environment caused her significant stress. It took our head rescuer several days of consistent visits (and quite a few chicken sausages!) before Coco began to relax and trust us enough to move her to an outdoor kennel – a setting she much prefers.
Now, she’s starting to show her cheeky, flirtatious side – wagging her tail and play-bowing when you arrive. We’ve been introducing her to new people slowly, always with plenty of treats to help build trust.
Coco needs a very specific kind of home where she can truly thrive. Ideally, we’re looking for a rural home with land – perhaps a smallholding or a farm – where she can satisfy her natural instincts to protect and patrol. In her previous home, she would spend most of the day outdoors surveying her territory, coming inside in the evenings knowing her job was done.
She has previously lived with cats and young children, but due to her size and strength, any introductions would need to be handled with care and caution.
