New York dog nicknamed ‘Shadow’ is up for adoption: Pooch 'wants to be by your side’
Hound mix and dedicated 'wingman' loves to be around people
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A New York-based dog known for lovingly shadowing humans is looking for a home — for the second time.
CoCo is a nearly 6-year-old hound mix in East Hampton, New York, and was recently brought back to the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons (ARF) in the hopes that he will secure a new family.
CoCo was adopted as a puppy but was returned to ARF after his family decided they could no longer take care of him.

He knows basic commands and can walk well on a leash, the organization said.

CoCo is known to be selective about his canine friends and is considered "cat curious," according to the ARF organization.

Given time, CoCo will warm up to other animals, the shelter added.
Most of all, however, CoCo is considered a dedicated wingman wanting to be by a human’s side at all times, ARF noted.
