Maldives Dog Names

Introduction

Located in South Asia in the Indian Ocean, Maldives includes about 1,190 coral islands that are grouped together in a double chain of 26 atolls. As the atolls are spread over around 90,000 square kilometers, Maldives is one of the world’s most disparate countries. This unique country is south-southwest of India, with the atolls situated up on a submarine ridge rising from the Indian Ocean that is 960 kilometers long.

A nation of such a unique landscape is a perfect place to search for a special name for your new canine companion. With a name from Maldives, each time you call for your pup you will enjoy a reminder of the beautiful country.

Featured Famous Dog With a Maldives Name

Cocoa

Cocoa is the name of one of the islands that make up the Maldives. Cocoa is also the name of the dog belonging to Scott Woodruff, the guitarist/vocalist for the band Stick Figure. An Australian Shepherd, Cocoa was found wandering the streets of Merced County in Central California. She was brought to a shelter and her chances for survival were slim. In the meantime, Scott was getting over the recent death of his canine best friend, who had been killed by a coyote. He did not want to rush into getting a dog and spent several months looking on the internet for a canine companion at nearby animal shelters.

According to Scott, he looked at hundreds of photos and read many bios. Upon seeing Cocoa’s photo, he knew that she was the one. He called the shelter, who said that she was available, and Scott was ready to jump into the car to pick her up. But, the shelter told him that the pup had been transferred, however, would not give any more information. Scott called back to push for information, eventually learning that the dog had been transferred to the SPCA in San Francisco. When he contacted them, he learned that she would not be available for at least a few weeks and no other information was given. Scott began calling the SPCA every three days and after six weeks the pup, who had been quarantined with kennel cough and diarrhea, was ready to be adopted. As a result of his persistence, Scott was at the top of a long waiting list for her and he eagerly drove four hours to pick her up.

Apparently, when Scott arrived and was ready to meet his future pup, the pooch walked over to him and sat down, each of them looking into the other’s eyes. It was a match! Scott quickly decided that the dog looked like a Cocoa and their life together began. Cocoa joined Scott on her first tour with Stick Figure in 2013. According to Scott, she had a great time and was comfortable on stage and easily adapted to loud music. With her being so well behaved, the band decided that she would join them on all of their tours. Cocoa has traveled across the continental United States and recently visited Alaska. The only tour she has missed was one in Hawaii because of strict quarantine laws.

While Cocoa loves touring, she has other interests, like hiking, playing with her best canine buddy, Patches and relaxing. Cocoa enjoys most food, though has a preference for beef, Slim Jims, cheese and salmon.
