My name is Coco!

Meet Coco!!
This beautiful girl is a purebred Toy Poodle that is approximately 8/9 years old and about 9lbs. Coco came to us when her owner passed away and the adult children dumped her at the shelter in terrible condition. We pulled her out as soon as we heard about her and took her to our groomer (she was completely matted and full of fleas) and to our vet who told us she had double ear infections and needed a dental. Our vet also noted her one adult/senior "cloudy eye" but at this time notes that she can see absolutely fine and does not need eyedrops yet, but of course her new home should monitor it with regular vet visits. We had an echocardiogram done on Coco as we were told she had a low grade heart murmur (typical in poodles) and this was necessary for her safety and well being before being put under anesthesia. Thankfully, her echocardiogram showed no abnormalities that they could see and yes, she does have a low grade heart murmur, but does not need medication at this time and she was 100% safe to be put under anesthesia. We then had her dental done and she is all good now to go into a forever home! We are looking for a home for Coco where she is your one and only and getting all the attention she deserves. She could possibly also go into a home that has another calm/mellow dog. She is good with other dogs, but really loves the attention on her. Coco needs a home with somebody that is home most of the day, works from home, or retired. She is still learning about riding in a car, but settles down soon after. It is recommended that she is not a dog to go on walks as she does get the trachea cough when on walks even with a harness. She could go into a stroller or even a wearable pouch which she would love, but she is absolutely so happy and content to stay home and hang out with you on the couch or sunbathing in the backyard. She's not an out and about type of dog. Coco is great with people but should be in an adult only home. Please note that poodles do need full grooming every 6 weeks. She's a good eater and because she had some teeth removed we have her on a soft diet of home cooking and supplements. Coco is THE perfect companion dog for someone who is a homebody like her!

Coco is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.

We only adopt in the Greater Los Angeles Areas as an in person meet/greet, home check, and trial period are required.
