My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello there! My name is Coco, and I'm on a quest to find my forever home-a place where love, cuddles, and companionship abound. Allow me to introduce myself and share a little about what makes me unique.
I'm the epitome of sweetness and gentleness. My heart is filled with love, and I have a soft spot for humans of all ages. Whether it's snuggling up on the couch for a movie night or enjoying a leisurely stroll through the park, I'm happiest when I'm by your side.
I've mastered the art of being gentle in every aspect of my life. From taking treats from your hand with utmost care to being patient with newcomers, I approach every interaction with a tender heart.
Sweetness runs through my veins, and it's evident in everything I do. I thrive on affection and am always ready to shower you with kisses and tail wags. No bad days are allowed when you have a sweetheart like me around!
Life's too short to stress over the little things, and I fully embrace this philosophy. I'm not one to get worked up over minor inconveniences-instead, I prefer to take life as it comes and enjoy each moment to the fullest.
I'm in search of a loving family who values kindness, compassion, and companionship as much as I do. Whether you're a single individual seeking a loyal sidekick or a bustling household filled with laughter and love, I'm adaptable and ready to join your pack.
A cozy spot by the fireplace where I can curl up and unwind. Plenty of belly rubs and ear scratches-my favorite pastimes!
Gentle walks in the great outdoors, where I can take in the sights and sounds of nature. A family who will cherish me for the sweet and gentle soul that I am, and in return, I'll shower them with unconditional love.
If you're searching for a furry friend who embodies gentleness, sweetness, and a laid-back attitude, then look no further-I'm Coco, and I'm ready to become your loyal companion for life. Let's embark on this journey together and create endless memories filled with love and laughter. Adopt me today, and let's start our happily ever after!

More about this shelter

Our mantra has always been protecting people from the dangers and nuisances of uncontrolled animals and keeping animals safe from mistreatment and abuse. Promoting, motivating and enforcing responsible pet ownership is our number one goal.

Contrary to the "limited admission" philosophies of some shelters for companion animals, our shelter has an open door policy. We turn away no animal, regardless of health, temperament, age or condition. Unfortunately, this does not enable us to place every animal in a new home. In reality of course, not all of the animals we take in are good candidates for placement. The sad fact remains however, that many otherwise healthy animals never get adopted because there aren't enough families who want them.

Our philosophy is to keep working at the root causes of pet overpopulation and irresponsible pet ownership - to provide alternatives to indiscriminate breeding of pets, to encourage people to become better pet owners and to make our community a better place for both people and animals.

What we value...


•A balance of enforcement and education promoting responsible pet ownership
•Homes for animals that are free from mistreatment and abuse
•Better communications, cooperation and tolerance among neighbors
•To live peaceably without suffering the nuisances and dangers caused by others' pets
•Pride in vital service we render to the community
•The difference of beliefs about the place animals have in our society
•Sensitivity to the high emotions which accompany animal problems
