Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Coco!
Hey there everyone, my name is Coco and I'm 16 whole years old! I'm just a little toot, weighing just over 6 pounds, so little tykes who might fall on me probably wouldn't be ideal in my forever home. I bet you're wondering how, at my age, I ended up in rescue. Well, you see, my human ended up having to go to a nursing home and couldn't take me with. So, here I am in all my glory! I was an indoor only dog for my entire life, so I really only know how to use potty pads, but if you take me out on a regular basis, I will go outside. Speaking of outside, I love to sniff alot while I'm out there! The world is just such a big place!
I've gotten along with all the other dogs I've met so far, big and small. I really just love everyone I meet, including cats! But boy, people are my favorite. I'm a lap loving little lady, and when I want to be picked up to be by my humans, I'll give a little coo sound and then lay down right on you, or even next to you on the couch. I'm a pretty healthy gal, and my hearing and sight are still good. I've got some pep left in my step, and I love party dresses! Maybe my new family will take me places where I can wear dresses! Golly, that would be a blast!

Disclaimer: It is VERY difficult even for a veterinarian to tell the exact age of a dog over two years old. From one vet to another, we can get different age estimates on the same dog and they can vary by several years. We are only making an educated guess based on a few factors like teeth, fur color, and overall body condition, but for dogs who have not been given adequate vet care and food, it can be even more difficult. Every dog is an individual, and we do our very best to age appropriately but make no guarantees as to the age of any dog in our program.
