Coco

My story

Coco...sweet Coco... Do we really think anyone is going to apply to adopt her right off the bat? Probably not. But...it's worth a shot. Coco just joined us from an overcrowded South Texas shelter where she lived in a tiny jail cell since March. One of our volunteers sent us a video of her laying flat on the ground outside of her kennel, wagging her tail, begging not to go back in one day after she had fun in the play yard. A lot of rescue work is being tough, it's a lot of "no's" when you want to say "yes", but Coco's video broke our hearts. We begged our team, who, as South Texas rescuers are always bursting at the seams with dogs, families, full time jobs, just like all of us. One offered to foster, another offered to pick her up, and she left the shelter. Now, as for Coco- she's a DREAM. Her foster says as far as photos go, that she doesn't really have a "great" side. Ok, so not the most photogenic dog we've ever had, but 10/10 personality. She gets along great with other dogs and is really happy just to run around the yard and be a part of the family (older kids, lots of dogs). Coco is grateful and she shows it. Medical wise- it's only up from here! In classic South Texas shelter fashion she's carrying around heartworms, but that isn't anything we aren't used to. She's already rolling into treatment and we will see that through in Meridian. It's not contagious, and we can answer all of the questions about it, so don't be shy. Her skin...well- girl needs a nice self care night...on repeat. With a good diet and some spoiling, she's going to be fluffy and fabulous. Coco has beautifully clean teeth! Our biggest hope is that when Coco arrives at the end of August, she has a family eagerly waiting for her. It's her turn to be loved and spoiled. HW treatment, spay, microchip, current vaccines, and transport are all included in her adoption fee. Please start with the adoption app: freedomboundhounds.com/adopt
