VIDEO: Humane Society's Pets Of The Week

Introducing our newest Patch segment titled "Pet of the Week," where we will feature animals from the Connecticut Humane Society in Newington that are in need a new home.

This week, a seven-month-old American Staffordshire Terrier Mix named CoCo is looking for a new place to call her own.

According to the Connecticut Humane Society website, CoCo is a big fan of getting belly rubs and giving kisses. She is looking for a place where she can get lots of exercise, according to Public Relations Director at Connecticut Humane Society Alicia Wright. 

CoCo would prefer to live in a home with children above the age of 10, Wright said. She is willing to share her living space with other dogs, but would prefer not to live in a home with cats, Wright added.

If you are interested in CoCo or any of the other animals at the Connecticut Humane Society, log onto its website to see a gallery of all the adoptable pets and to learn about the adoption rules and procedures.
