About Coco's Canines

Our Story

Coco’s Canines was founded by Nicole LaCount, who has spent over a decade caring for dogs in the Arlington/Marysville area. What started as a passion became a calling — Nicole volunteers at local animal shelters and has fostered and adopted numerous dogs.

We recently moved to a beautiful new property in Arlington with plenty of room for dogs to run and play in the Pacific Northwest. Our home-based setting means your dog stays in a real home environment, not a commercial kennel.

Our Philosophy

Every dog is unique and deserves individualized care. We believe in:

• Positive reinforcement and gentle guidance
• Supervised socialization with compatible dogs
• Plenty of exercise and mental stimulation
• A home-like atmosphere where dogs feel safe and loved
• Open communication with pet parents

Meet Nicole

Nicole brings over 10 years of professional dog care experience to Coco’s Canines. Her dedication to animal welfare extends beyond her business — she actively volunteers at local shelters and has fostered and adopted numerous dogs throughout her career.

Her approach combines professional knowledge with genuine love for animals. Each dog in her care receives the attention, exercise, and affection they need to thrive.

In Loving Memory

This page is also dedicated to Milo & Dexter, forever in our hearts. Their spirits live on in every dog we care for.
