Coco is a spunky purebred female Newf who turned 11 on Cinco De Mayo in 2019. She is a one-eyed wonder who is full of love.
Since coming to HANR, Coco has lost weight, had surgery to remove an eye that had severe glaucoma, and had an awesome grooming! She is currently up-to-date on her shots, heartworm preventative and flea and tick preventative. Her remaining eye has a slight cataract, but she still has vision in that eye.
Her mobility had improved until a collision with one of the other dogs knocked her legs out from under her. She is still relatively healthy, but she has a harness so her people can help her up and she doesn’t move around much.
She will continue to have ongoing medical expenses as she is on daily doses of Rimadyl in addition to regular preventatives. Whoever gives her a fur-ever home will also need to keep in mind that she will need to stay on joint supplements and a higher quality diet to maintain the mobility she has.
As an older lady, she can be a little stubborn, so patience is a must. If she decides she
doesn't want to move, it will not be easy to move her. She can hear you, she is just ignoring what you asked her for. And if she wants love, she will be persistent in asking for it. She also does best with a regular schedule of meals and potty times.
Coco is currently living in a house where she does not need to use any stairs. While she has lost a few pounds, she still has a few extra pounds to lose. Make no mistake, she is a very special dog who will require a very special home.
Coco is being cared for in one of our foster homes in the Des Moines, IA area.
Our adoption fee for seniors is $200.00. A fenced yard with a minimum height of 4-feet is required for adoption.
