My story

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

Meet Cocoa! This 2-year-old Staffy mix is searching for a cozy spot to call home. Cocoa's ideal life includes a comfy spot on the couch next to a family who loves her snuggles. She's a true velcro dog, always wanting to be your shadow and follow you wherever you go. Cocoa adores human companionship and deserves a family that feels the same way about her. She's met respectful children and did wonderful with them. While she's not reactive towards other dogs, she prefers not to have them approach her, so she would thrive as the only dog in the home. Cocoa has an abundance of love to give and will be incredibly loyal to the family who welcomes her. Could she be the perfect match for you?

Additional adoption info

PUPPIES

Any dog that is younger than 1 year old is considered a puppy. They come with age-appropriate vaccines, are dewormed, microchipped, on heartworm preventative, and if age allows spay/neutered. If they are not old enough to have the procedure done, we do require a $100 deposit which is refunded once the surgery is done. We require the spay/neuter to be done at 6 months and can schedule it at one of our vets if you wish to not use your own vet. If you do decide to go to your own vet, once proof of procedure is done, a refund can be issued. Puppy adoption fees are $350 + $100 refundable deposit.

ADULTS

Adult dogs are dogs that are ages 1 – 6 years old. They come with vaccinations (Bordetella, Rabies, Distemper), are dewormed, on heartworm prevention, microchipped, heartworm tested, and spay/neutered. Upon intake, they also have an initial wellness exam to screen for any pre-existing conditions. Their adoption fee is $300.

SENIORS

Senior dogs are dogs that are 7 years old and up. They come with vaccinations (Bordetella, Rabies, Distemper), are dewormed, on heartworm prevention, microchipped, heartworm tested, and if age allows spay/neutered. Upon intake, they also have an initial wellness exam to screen for any pre-existing conditions. Their adoption fee is $100.
