Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Approved adopter picks up in Redding
go to
www.sadt.info and apply
AFTER you read his bio
Only looking for experienced matching folks
You MUST have a secure fenced yard and not a electric fence
nor a barb wire fence
You Must have a second small and very friendly dog at home
not a large nor aggressive dog
you must be experienced with skittish/shy dogs and have the lifestyle to
accommodate the dog
He's not a city dog a quiet neighbor hood is fine
he also does not walk in public that scares him
so you will need to very slowly train him in baby steps
if you want to take him for walks
unless you live in or near the country and walk on a quiet country road
If you know about skittish dogs (because they where not socialized as pups or much at all they can spook very easy by cars or any loud noises)
You should be prepared and not have high expectations but be a down to earth super super loving person the real dog whisperer that truly bonds with their best furry friend
we are not looking for the ordinary as Coco Puff is not that
He's super super loving, loyal and sweet once he has bonded with you
which does not take long if you are that right person
that person that will sit on the floor if needed
a good leader to give him the security he needs specially settling into a yet another home
but not one that babies him every time he gets scared
that will make things 100 times worse
He did very well sitting next to people he loves for 2 hours in public
but as stated not one that will walk in any busy setting and should not have too
if that's something that scares him because he has not done it much
he does love car rides so instead you can go for car rides get him one of those high seats he can look out of the window
Coco hasn't had the best life bough by someone to breed him then had to live in a horse stall most of his life
he has been in a real home for about 6 months but since he was not socialized he's very fearful specially around kids and loud crazy kids so he once more must fine a home this time the right quiet calm adult home a single lady
no visiting small kids as he will nip or bite if put into that situation
he will easily crate and prefers a crate you can cover with a sheet in another room with music on until those little kids leave to prevent more stress in his life
we are here to help with questions etc
home and retired with a fenced yard that has tons of love, time and patience to attend to Coco
someone that has had shy undersocialized dogs before or has done their research and willing to take him on for the rest of his life changing their own life if need be to ensure his happieness and safefy
having another friendly small dog at home would be fine
Coco is 6 years old and weighs 16 fluffy pounds
He's neutered had his Rabies shot will have a current HW test done and a booster shot as well
we are looking for outskirts of town or a quiet neighborhood no apartments best
he lives in a mobile home park the past 6 months but it's not ideal too much going on for a dog that was in a prison all his life
please be down to earth and super kind
Coco is fine getting petted but prefer not too as he has not had that exposure if you are a less social person that would be great
approved applicant can have all questions answered
we want a match and a happy ending for this very sweet boy
please apply so we can see if you can be that match
