My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi! I am Cocoa! CFR rescued me from the unbearable Texas summer when me and my littermates were found living outside. Since then, I have been able to flourish in a safe foster home and am seeking my forever family. Now I am 15 months old and I love to run, get the zoomies when the weather gets cool



My foster mom says I am super smart and have been quick to learn. I use a doggy door now but if that's not open, I know where to scratch on the backdoor to go out; I am quick to learn new routines. I have a sweet temperament and am eager to please - I am still an active puppy, but definitely understand correction. I am fully crate trained, sleeping there at night and even choosing to rest in my crate during the day but I love getting to snuggle in the morning on the big bed with my foster Mom and the big dogs. I have just discovered television shows about animals that I watch with rapt attention.



I LOVE to play and run so I need a secure yard to run in. I would do best with older kids because younger kids make me nervous. I get along with other dogs including my two 80# foster sisters. I have not been cat tested, but the rescue can do this before a trial just in case. I am currently a solid 59 pounds and will likely stay medium-sized. Physically, I think I am all grown up. I am fully vetted and ready for a new adventure. I love to run and have long legs so I can run fast. I would love to be your running partner; I would love to go with you on your daily/weekly walks/runs. I patrol the yard for all intruders including those running the 16' back fence. So far, I haven't caught anything except baby rat snakes which I dispatch as quickly as possible.



I had a rough start to life, so I am shy at first. Once I know I am safe, I come out of my shell and really like to show love and appreciation. Do I sound like the missing piece of your family? Apply for a trial to meet me today!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Thank you for adopting and not buying!!! Every week hundreds of highly adoptabledogs are put to death by local shelters. Most people would be amazed at the purebred and beautiful dogs available, if they walked into their neighborhood shelter.

Rescue organizations, like mine, work hard to save as many as we possibly can but is a never ending process with breeders and Puppy Mills selling unhealthy animals to the public. If you EVER saw a puppy mill you would NEVER buy again!

All of my dogs are neutered or spayed, vet checked, completely vaccinated, wormed, groomed and checked for heart worms. They are all are current on Heart worm medicine, flea, and tick medications. They are all microchipped as well.

Adoption fee is $300 to $350 (older "friends' can be less, please inquire. Puppies are $350 - Besides fully vetting all dogs, some of of the dogs I rescue, 1 in 5 I rescue have heart worms which is very expensive to treat. I also take in dogs who need surgeries and are close to death.

More about this rescue

About us: Cody was the first pet I owned as an adult. He was a Shih Tzu that I bought unknowingly, from a Puppy Mill. He fought for his life and barely survived, suffering for the first few months of his life. From then on I was stirred by a ferocious passion to save as many dogs as I could through networking with other rescue groups and saving the ones I could off of cold streets and unwanted in shelters. Cody did not live a very long life due to a weakened body, but I was able to love on him for eight good years! He will always be loved and forever remembered. With over 400 dogs rescued so far, we ARE making a difference!!
Thank you for visiting and considering a rescue........................
