Story
Originally Annabelle and her brother Cocoa came to us in July 2024. Their previous owner decided that he did not want to deal with them anymore and drove them across town and dumped them down a dead-end street by the river. Annabelle and Cocoa were on their own for three weeks before we received the call to intervene. They finally wandered up the road a few miles and found help with the Hickman Creek neighborhood. They were covered in fleas and ticks when we got them. Thankfully the neighborhood had been sitting food out for them, so they were not too underweight. Annabelle and Cocoa were adopted together fall of 2024. We received a sad message on January 1st, 2025, that the adopters wished to return them. They said their work schedule had changed to include some long hours and they believed that Annabelle and Cocoa still had too much puppy in them to be crated all day. So, once again, Annabelle and Cocoa have to suffer through another traumatic move. Yes, they are familiar with us and our pack, but make no mistake, changing homes and routines is very stressful for an animal. We are seeking a home that can take in both Annabelle and Cocoa. They are littermates that have never been separated from one another. They relied on each other out in the wilderness to stay alive. They are an extremely bonded pair. Annabelle is spayed. She is up to date on her heartworm prevention and flea/tick prevention. They have been tested for heartworms and 3 tick diseases and all came back negative. Both Annabelle and Cocoa are microchipped. Annabelle is a female, and she is spayed. Cocoa is a male, and he is neutered. They both have so much love to give. Annabelle is definitely the more submissive of the two. She enjoys love and kisses from her human. Cocoa prefers to spend his time chewing on his hard Nylabone chew toys. They both still have some puppy in them and need time outside, in a fenced yard, to run off some energy. They both get along with other dogs and cats. The previous family had children. We are still unsure how they would do with smaller children, but their playfulness would have to be watched to prevent them from jumping up in excitement. Annabelle and Cocoa are excellent car riders. They are both housebroken and the previous adopters said that they were crate trained. We will be re-evaluating them to see new behaviors and triggers. They love keeping each other and their human's company. We are willing to try a foster to adopt trial period with one of the dogs to see if they will be okay separated. The interested party has to be willing to bring the dog back to us if the separation does not work and either Annabelle or Cocoa resist the separation.
