My personality

My story

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

Coco is a sweet, gentle 12-year-old senior boy with a heart full of love and a mellow soul. This quiet little guy is looking for a calm, caring home where he can be someone’s constant companion.

Coco is a dream housemate. He has excellent manners, is house-trained, and simply enjoys being near his person. Whether he’s lounging in the sun, napping beside you, or keeping you company on a quiet afternoon, Coco brings a steady, peaceful presence to your home. He especially loves relaxing outdoors and rolling in the grass, making him a perfect match for someone who enjoys a laid-back lifestyle.

Both of his pet sitters absolutely loved their time with him, describing him as sweet, friendly, and a pleasure to care for.

He travels well, perks up when it’s time to go for a car ride, and gets along great with kids and other dogs. Coco does have some separation anxiety, which he manages well with a daily medication given at breakfast. When you’re home, he’s calm, happy, and content just being by your side.

Medical Notes:

· Blind in his left eye; receives daily eye drops to manage glaucoma and support tear production

· Prone to yeast infections in his ears, which are manageable with regular care

· Takes daily medication to help with separation anxiety

· Neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations

Coco’s ideal home would be a peaceful one—possibly with an older adult or someone who’s home often—where he can enjoy love, stability, and the companionship he craves.

If you’re ready to welcome a sweet senior into your heart and home, Coco might be your perfect match. Contact Linda (linda@3rrescue.org) to learn more about adopting this lovable little guy. The adoption application and process can be found at https://www.3rrescue.org/adopt/adoption-process. html. Coco is in foster in Palm Springs, CA. However, transport can be arranged.

Additional adoption info

We require an adoption application. Once the application is reviewed and references are checked we schedule a 'meet and greet' with the potential adopter and the dog. We require that all immediate family members and their pets (mainly dogs) are brought to meet the dog. A home inspection is also conducted. We work closely with the new adopter after the adoption to help and advise during the first critical days/weeks in the new home.

Go meet their pets

Our dogs ate available by appointment at the 3R facility, foster homes and other locations by appointment. Please see our website calendar for the list of locations where we have adoption events.

More about this rescue

We rescue dogs from rural and under-sourced shelters that do not have adequate medical support, staff or facilities and few potential adopters coming to the shelter. Euthanasia rates at these shelters are extremely high (80% or higher) Many of our dogs come directly off the euthanasia list.
Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home animals in need of a second chance. They are provided medical care, quality nutrition and the opportunity to de-stress and socialize in a home environment until they are ready to go to their new family. WE have animal behaviorists who assess each dog and recommend appropriate care and training. Many of our dogs are started in basic obedience training while they are with us.
