My story

Foster Homes Needed! Do you have time and room in your life for a foster dog? http://www.muttloverescue.org/foster.html *****************   COURTESY POST This dog is listed as a courtesy for another rescue. Mutt Love wants to help others in need. Meet Cocoa, a 9-year old Ibizan Hound/Terrier mix.  Cocoa is losing her home and family after joining them when she was 14-weeks old. Cocoa gets along with other dogs and the staff where she has boarded over the years just love her.  She is what we call a WYSIWYG dog - What You See Is What You Get.  She is in her senior years and has her routine.  She could stand lose a few pounds but loves her treats.  Cocoa has seasonal skin allergies and is on a mild anti-anxiety medication.  Otherwise, she is in pretty good shape for a gal her age. With her initial "get off my lawn" vibe, it will take some time for Cocoa to fall in love.  If you are willing to give her a chance, you will have a friend for life! Cocoa would do best in a quiet home without children and a minimum number of people visiting.  She should be fine if it is a multi-dog family.  We do not know how she will do with cats.  **BECAUSE OF OUR REQUIREMENT FOR A HOME VISIT, WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO ADOPT TO HOMES IN THE NORTHERN VA / MARYLAND / DC METRO AREA** We have adoption events EVERY SATURDAY from 12-3 p.m. Please note that not all dogs can attend every event, so if you are interested in meeting a particular dog, please complete a no-obligation application on our website at http://www.muttloverescue.org/application.html OR write to adopt@muttloverescue.org. Upcoming adoption events:   Saturday May 3rd 12 - 3 pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 11135 Lee Highway; Fairfax     Saturday May 10th 12 - 4 pm Eavesdrop Brewery; 7285 Centreville Rd. Manassas, VA      Saturday May 17th 12-3 pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 11135 Lee Highway; Fairfax     Saturday May 24th 12 - 3 pm Weber's Pet Supermarket; 2280 Hunnters Wood Plaza; Reston       We are always desperate for foster homes, now more than ever. If you are interested in fostering, please complete an application... unless you are a previous adopter/foster, then you can just contact us via phone (703-988-2608) or email (adopt@muttloverescue.org) to tell us which dog you want to foster!      For information on sponsoring this dog, please write to adopt@muttloverescue.org.   WE NEED FOSTER HOMES! FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE EMAIL ADOPT@MUTTLOVERESCUE.ORG. Visit us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/muttloverescue    Follow us on Twitter: @Muttlove_Rescue April 30, 2025, 12:25 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Cocoa - Cross Post, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
