FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — A shelter dog that was adopted from Fulton County Animal Services has started a successful career as a movie star.
While Coco was with Fulton County Animal Services, she received veterinary care, including all of her vaccinations and her spay surgery, and spent time with a foster family before going to live with her forever family.
Since then, Coco landed her debut movie role in the Hulu original film, Prey, portraying “Sarii”.

Prey is the fifth installment in the Predator franchise and is a prequel to the first four films. It was filmed in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
“We rarely know the full story of the animals who come into our care. Their beginnings are often a mystery, so it is our job and wish to give them a happy new start,” the department said in a Facebook post. “We also never know just what an animal is capable of, but with a little help, Coco proved shelter dogs can go on to do amazing things!”
