Story
**Koko is also looking for a Foster or a Foster to Adopt! **
Koko is a bouncy, resilient 7 month old 25 pound cattle dog and she’s ready for her forever home! Koko arrived to the rescue as a puppy from a horrendous hoarding case, with a deformed paw. Her back right leg has been removed, but that doesn’t slow down this tripod!
Koko is incredibly smart and can learn new patterns and behaviors so quickly. She walks well on leash, offering nice engagement and check ins and she has great recall. True to heeler form, once she bonds with you, she will do anything for you. She is very food motivated and loves to learn.
Koko can be suspicious of strangers but warms up nicely with proper introductions. Once you’re in, you’re in, and she is such a snuggle bug.
Koko is crate trained and potty trained and does great in the car. She would benefit from an experienced cattle dog handler as she can be mouthy when over excited and has many common breed specific traits.
Koko would benefit from a quieter home. She is hoping for a house with no children under 14 years of age. She can be leash reactive with surprises, such as people approaching without consent or off leash dogs, but has made tremendous progress using positive reinforcement. Koko does well with dogs with slow intentional intros or would thrive as an only dog, soaking up the attention for herself.
Koko is neutered, microchipped and has received age-appropriate core vaccines. Koko is being fostered in Salem and the adoption fee is $390. If you're interested in meeting Koko, please fill out an adoption application on our website: pnwcdr.org/adopt
Please note: We do not do DNA testing on our foster dogs. The breed description is our best guess based on the dog’s appearance, mother’s appearance, paperwork, etc.
