My story

　　Hi Everybody! I'm Cocoa, and I sure am a fun girl! I am a Chinese Crested powder puff puppy. I am about 7 months old, and I am FULL of puppy energy! I want to play, play, play, all day long! I really, really want a small playful dog like me in my forever home. I am not a match for a home with older dogs who will be annoyed by my constant activity, but a home with another fun dog is what I need to be happy. I get confidence from another dog, and it gives me someone to keep me company when I am home alone. I also need a home where someone is around most of the time. I was turned over to the rescue due to separation anxiety when my family left me home alone. I can be pretty vocal when I am left, so apartment living is not for me. I am doing well with it though, so as long as I am not alone a lot, I will be fine. I complain when my foster mom leaves to go to work, but I am quiet when she comes home again. I love to play with toys, blowing leaves, really anything at all! I will cuddle for a few minutes, but then I like to get all wiggly and use my puppy mouth on my foster mom. Hey, that's what puppies do, right?? I walk nicely on leash when walked alone, although when I am walked with the other dogs in my foster home, I get myself all tangled in their leashes! I am housetrained as long as I am kept on a consistent schedule. I'm a baby so I need to go out frequently. My foster mom says I have selective hearing, whatever that is! She is working on teaching me to sit, but I can only be still for about 2 seconds! I am a fun, happy girl looking for someone who wants a bundle of joyful wildness! If you think I'm the girl for you, please send in an application. (Cocoa is being fostered in New England and is waiting for her appointment to be spayed, so she won't be ready to go for a few weeks)
