Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello there! My name is Coco, and I ended up with ESRA because my human parents were getting a divorce and I couldn't stay with them anymore. I was very sad to leave my family, but I was happy when the nice people from ESRA came to rescue me!
I am looking for a new family. I love being in the company of my foster parents as well as anybody else. I don't jump up on people; rather, I just like to hang around with everyone and be loved. Sure, I follow my foster parents and sister around the house, but hey--I'm cute, and I miss the attention my old family gave me! I'm not a dominant dog, so don't worry about me getting into fights with anyone. I love all dogs I meet. My foster parents describe me as a big, soft teddy bear! Did I mention that I give the sweetest kisses?
I love to have fun and play with my humans and other dogs. Do you like to play fetch? I sure do! I am so much fun to be around. I want to be your family's faithful companion. My favorite toys are stuffed animals. I love to chew on them and try to get the stuffing out before my foster sister comes and steals it away. See, I let other dogs take my toys away from me because I like everyone and I have a great personality.
I understand that my foster parents can’t always be around, and that's not a problem; I'm completely housetrained! In my former home, I even got to use a doggy door. My foster parents do not crate me when they go to work because they know that I am a good boy and can patiently wait until they get home. My foster home includes another dog. We get along very well. My foster parents haven't had me around cats, but I do like to chase squirrels, rabbits, and chipmunks. I lived with children in my former home, too--more people to snuggle with! If you want to go on a walk, let me know, because I love to be outside enjoying the fresh air. My foster parents use a gentle lead on me so that I don't pull them around the neighborhood. They have told me I have to work on my walking etiquette before they will use only a leash.
I guess I'm lucky because my foster parents make sure that I get enough exercise. The vet said I need to lose seven pounds and then I will be at my healthy weight. My foster parents are also treating my ears for infections. My ears used to be painful, but now they are starting to feel better. I am up to date on my shots and am neutered.
If you want a playmate who will love you forever, then I’m your dog. I promise never to leave your side. I'm not a high-maintenance guy; I'm just looking for a family who wants a loving companion.
Love,
Coco
Please note that an approved adoption application is the first step in a more thorough interview process that is designed to match each dog to exactly the right family, and that the final decision rests with the dog's case manager. Please read the Adoption FAQ and get an Adoption Application approved before inquiring about Coco.
