I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other dogs in need. Thank you! Expect to be stopped and asked “What kind of dog is that?!?” should you be Coco's lucky adopter because this fellow is a real show-stopper! His fuzzy-wuzzy coat is the color of chocolate mixed with golden flecks - just stunning! It's soft and silky and you will never want to stop petting him. And his eyes, oh, those hazel eyes, they grab your heart and they don't let go! Coco is an incredibly cute guy, estimated to be about 4 years old and weighing around 44 lbs. He was found wandering down a road in Louisiana by a friend of one of our volunteers. When she took him to the shelter to be scanned for a microchip, they were able to locate Coco's original owners who had moved to Texas and couldn't take Coco with them. They rehomed him on their own and whoever he was with didn't take very good care to see to Coco's safety. Coco's original owners shared, "Coco is a really great dog! He knows how to "sit" on command and give his paw too. He is very loving and affectionate. We didn't want to rehome him in the first place and I surely gave him to the wrong person. Thank you for taking him and helping find him a loving home. We miss him and love him dearly." Kinda breaks your heart, doesn't it? We have some wonderful details to share about Coco from his foster mom, Katie. - Great eater, doesn't seem picky with food or treats. Does take interest in human food when I'm eating but understands NO - Loves a car ride. He has been on several now. Last night I had a sweet tooth so I took him through the Sonic drive though to get ice cream with me. The fellow at the window saw him and asked if he could have a pup cup. He seemed to know exactly what that was so I said yes. So we both had a sweet tooth last night he gobbled it right up in the back seat on the way home - Friendly and loves to make new friends. Took him into a pet store to pick up some yummy treats and a toy that caught his eye. He was very friendly with everyone who said hello. He doesn't jump and understands sit. He did put his paws up out of excitement during checkout. Loves to offer a sitting handshake in exchange for his treats. - Great on a leash, doesn't seem to pull much. He is also petite so whatever pull he does have, it isn't overpowering. I am extra careful to not give him the opportunity to bolt as he, and all rescued dogs, are flight risks. He is quick to potty on a leash, no accidents inside, he goes and waits by the door to let me know if he wants out. - Toys, likes them but doesn't tear them apart. He has a very soft bite. - He is a cuddler and gives sweet kisses/hugs. He's great with eye contact. Overall he seems like a happy boy. The best way to describe his personality, so far, is "gentle soul." He is so polite and gentle when he wants to communicate something. He follows me around from room to room when I am working; he sits under my desk by my feet. He seems to be alert of sounds coming from outside and goes to the door and makes a low pitched bark or two out. He is easily calmed when told it's ok. - Seems to like watching TV. It's random, but I put on a nature documentary last night before bed and I think he was watching it with me! His eyes were locked in on the screen. He would get excited and pop his head up when he saw birds or other animals on the TV - I did put him in a crate this morning when I was at the gym and then went to grocery store. He was super easy to put in the crate and was very calm when I returned and let him out. He seems like he is used to/comfortable with it. I have also left my house for a shorter amount of time and left him out. No issues, he was in my entry to greet me when I came home. Didn't eat or break anything There you have it - one amazing dog!! Coco came north and was placed in what we hoped would be his forever home, but the adopter, who is close to 70 years old, is finding Coco's energy level to be more than he can handle. So now Coco is seeking his forever family once again. Coco is a bit bewildered about where he is and why he is not with his original beloved family. Extreme care must be taken by his adopters to make sure he does not wander away again. Leashed walks would be best for this cutie pie, who has very nice leash walking skills. Coco's cute expression seemed to ask, "Do you want to be my friend?" Coco loves his human friends and is good with other dogs. He has no history with cats while with our rescue, but used to chase chickens in his former home. We expect he would be good with children over the age of 10. He truly wants to please and hear the words "good boy" spoken often. Coco keeps his kennel clean and truly is a good boy! Take a look at his video! Coco is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and micro-chipped. He finished his treatment for heartworm and is in the northeast and ready to be adopted.

I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other dogs in need. Thank you! The story goes that Good Samaritans said they found this stunning Golden Retriever and brought him to a kill shelter in Louisiana. He was wearing a collar with his name on it and was clearly someone's dog. Was Parker really a stray or was he this family's dog? Some folks say they found a dog when they no longer want them because owner turn-ins are the first to be euthanized when over-crowding occurs. Strays at least have a 5-14 day hold, which gives time for a rescue to step in and pull the dog. We at SGRR were more than happy to say YES to rescuing Parker! Parker is a 2-3 year-old purebred Golden Retriever, who weighs approximately 60 lbs. He is somewhat confused by his new surroundings in a foster home in LA, as any rescued dog who has spent several weeks in an animal shelter would be. His gentle nature doesn’t understand why his family left him. Yet, even at the shelter, Parker's gentle nature shined as you can see in this video. Parker has all the traits that make this breed a national favorite and he is rebounding nicely in his foster home. Melanie, the foster mom, shares, "This handsome boy is well-mannered, intelligent, and has great charm. He is crate-trained, house-trained, comes when called, and is very eager to please. He is good with other dogs and loves to play!! He loves playing with my 25 lb female dog, my neighbor's 12 lb Chihuahua, and was fine with another neighbor’s 80 lb male Labrador Retriever. He takes correction immediately, looking to your eyes for direction. He will be easy to train, is patient, and gentle with everyone he meets. He jumps right in the car and either sits or lays down and enjoys the ride. We are using a harness for walks as he pulls some on the leash when being walked, just because he is so curious and wants to smell everything. He loves the nightly routine of being brushed by my husband, and I think my husband loves it just as much." She continues, "This boy is a unicorn!! I have put my hand in his bowl while he is eating, taken toys away from him and have fed him treats without issue next to my dog. His a perfect angel that has fallen from Heaven and is super suited to be a therapy dog. I do not say this lightly, as I know what is required of a therapy dog. I would be comfortable taking him to a hospital ICU unit, a school, a nursing home, or theater. Just unbelievable! He is a gentle soul who seeks affection and approval. He nudges your hand for more pets and is quiet throughout the night. He is playful, loves meeting strangers, and has no interest in getting on furniture, although he is welcome to get on my sofa. Please move him soon, as we have fallen in love – as have my neighbors and anyone that meets him. If were 10 years younger, he would not be leaving my side!" WOW! WOW! WOW! Parker is neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped, and is under treatment for heartworm. Parker will be headed north in early April and already has an Adoption Pending. But he hopes you will consider one of our other wonderful SGRR dogs! Rescued dogs come with a range of needs - from behavioral to emotional to medical.
