Hello!! My name is Coco. Here is some information about me:
Breed: Chihuahua Mix
Age: 6 months
Gender: Female
Weight: 28 lbs
Height: 19” tall
Highlights: Sweet, independent but affectionate, dog friendly.
Being a 6-month-old Chihuahua-mix, I’m a bundle of joy with a wagging tail a heart full of love. I’m curious, friendly, and always up for an adventure, making me the perfect companion for all your escapades.
I remember the day like it was yesterday, when our world changed forever. My sister and I were huddled together, shivering in the biting cold and our stomachs empty. We were caged outside, with no shelter from the harsh elements. Each day was a struggle, with only occasional scraps of food and water to sustain us. But then, out of nowhere, came the sound of footsteps approaching. Hope flickered within me as I saw kind faces, reaching out with gentle hands to rescue us from our misery. As they lifted us from that desolate place, I felt a rush of gratitude and relief wash over me, knowing that we were finally safe, together, with the promise of a better life ahead.
I’m the brave one in our little pack, a rescue Chihuahua-mix with a personality as unique as my markings. Independence is my forte, but don't mistake it for aloofness; I have a heart that melts at the slightest sign of affection. Loving and kind, I find joy in playing with my sister and other foster pups, though I'll gracefully exit the scene if the roughhousing gets too rowdy. Toys are my passion, especially when it comes to a good game of tug of war with calmer dogs. However, I must admit, I have a bit of a weakness for chasing cats, though I mean no harm – it's just in my nature. Perhaps a home without feline friends would suit me best. Despite my old soul, there's still plenty of playful energy left in me, ready to brighten the days of my future family.

Information included in the profile is provided to us from the international rescuer or local fosters. LALDR does not have access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live.
Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems.
Basic training should be taken seriously, but should not begin until your dog is well settled in - at least a couple of weeks. After you feel your new dog is relaxed and comfortable in their new home, check out training courses in your local area. Even basic beginner courses like those taught at a local pet store can have a huge benefit in helping your dog learn to socialize and get used to being in public situations, all with the added benefit of strengthening their bond with you.
While most dogs find escorting passengers flying directly to Vancouver, some will find flights through Toronto or Montreal. In that case, additional fees will apply to fly your dog to Vancouver by cargo. Unaccompanied cargo costs within Canada range from $350 - $550 depending on the size of the dog. LALDR will be as transparent as possible with you regarding these costs.
The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of age or breed of our dogs.
Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. However if a dog has been determined to be good with children we will approve applicants with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website.
