Sad Story: Coco was surrendered not only once, but twice. Her family felt guilty, so took her back, only to give her up again. She wound up in a shelter in Castaic where staff and volunteers fell for her soulful eyes and gentle ways. They contacted us and we are so happy they did. Although it was at first, given her history, hard for Coco to trust, she makes strides everyday.

　　She is already rolling over for belly rubs! She is extremely respectful of her place in the house by not jumping on furniture or beds, preferring her own dog bed on the floor. She places her paw into yours when she asks for affection and considers walks to be the best treat ever.

　　Mostly, she is just contented to be with her human. We are looking for a wonderful forever home for this sweet, calm and intelligent girl whose teeth - by the way - do not look like those of a seven year old's. She's good on leash and in the car. We know she will warm up easily in a stable, nurturing home where she is truly valued.
