I was looking through my NextDoor app and saw that a kind neighbor had picked up a beautiful golden colored dog that was wandering on a very busy street. She said that the dog was very sweet and friendly but that she was unable to keep her. She had no collar or tags, was dirty, and her coat was extremely matted.
Since losing my two senior dogs within a month of each other, I was heartbroken. It had been several months since their loss so I after reading about her, I decided that I was ready to take in a rescue. I contacted the neighbor and she brought Coco over (we didn't know her name, so that is what I decided on). Coco was full of life and could not get enough love! She would jump up and lick my face constantly and followed me all over the house.
I took her to the vet and was told that she had a chip. We contacted the owner and found out that he was an older man who had suffered a stroke and was sadly not going to be able to return home. Coco must have gotten out during his absence. His caregiver said that I could adopt her but asked that I keep in touch so that she could assure the owner that Coco was in good hands and living a happy live (which I regularly do). I am happy to know that she was so loved by him and that he wants to keep up with her.
Coco is the sweetest, happiest and most loving dog! She will play fetch all day long if possible and loves to snuggle and be loved. I eventually adopted another rescue named Jack to keep her company when I work. I am very blessed and grateful to have these beautiful and bratty babies in my life.
