My story

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

Hi everyone! My name is Coco and I am a sweet, laid back 10-pound, 9 year-old female Chihuahua mix who wants nothing more than to have a home again. Cisco (also at helpadogsmile.org) and Coco were very loved little dogs, who have been lifelong friends, found themselves homeless when their trusted human had to enter memory care. These two love each other, are housetrained and just had dentals! Yes they can be separated but we would love to see them stay together. They are the odd couple with cisco with his love to be held and busy little personality while Coco is a bit more laid back...she loves to follow you around and sit with you BUT a tad wary of being scooped up! Coco might take a min to warm up at first as I’m still a little cautious with strangers but I do warm up quickly, especially if you have a little treat you wanted to share with me. I am house-trained and my favorite thing is to sleep and watch tv with you. I know I would make an excellent addition to your loving home. I get along fine with small dogs in my foster home but as I am older now I don’t play as much

Coco is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. Her adoption fee of $350 helps offset the rescue's medical expenses. If you want to adopt both Cisco and Coco they would be $400 for the pair! If you live in the Phoenix metro area and think she could be the right fit for you, please complete an adoption application*: helpadogsmile.org/adoption-application/

*Please note that the application is not a commitment to adopt–it is a tool used to help determine if a dog and applicant would make a good match. Applications are forwarded to the foster family for review and follow-up.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adoption is a lifetime commitment. After an application and a verbal interview is completed and it is determined that the adoption is a compatible match, a contract is signed with specific guidelines. An adoption fee (usually between $250-$500) to help off-set medical, feeding and Rescue costs is collected. The contract states that at any time the adoption does not work out, the dog is to be returned to our Rescue group for alternate placement. The dog is not to be 'given away' or 'rehomed' or 'taken to the pound'. If there are other dogs in the home, they must meet prior to adoption. All family members in the household have to agree to the adoption. No dog is to be adopted as a 'gift'. No out of state adoptions.

Adoptions can be arranged by appointment or our dogs can be met on the first Saturday of the month at Petsmart, Desert Ridge Noon to 3:00 PM.
