Story
Good with cats and dog. Jef is completely harmless. His eye sight is limited, so quick hand movements near his face or anything close to his face can upset him. That said, he does like to be petted and massaged, and doesn’t mind being held. .His energy level is good for a 14-16 year old. Food makes him very excited, so he will try to trot into the kitchen when he sees us go in there. Otherwise, he moves slowly and delicately because his knees are compromised. He’s funny, especially when he “sings for his supper”, he’s sweet, and pretty darn cute. He sleeps well, and takes lots of naps. He’s house trained and easily takes his old-man pills. I think he’s almost all toy poodle, if not all, and weighs about 8 lbs.

Story
When shelters label dogs like Cocoa as "RESCUE ONLY" it means that a dog may only be taken from the shelter by a Rescue Organization, and not directly by a single person. Biting is a serious issue and municipal shelters count on rescues like us to help. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7iigRHNhQi/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Cocoa's Story: Cocoa was rescued from a shelter by another organization a few months back. He had found a forever home, but due to his biting was returned to the rescue. They didn't have room to take him back so they reached out to us! Cocoa is a 7 year old Maltese/Poodle mix. He is for the majority of the time a really sweet and lovable boy. He loves to play and is great with other dogs. We are learning that he is triggered when he is overwhelmed and overstimulated. Gloves are a great tool to help dogs understand that biting is not an effective way to get their owner's attention. We are not dog trainers, but are trying our best to help him improve. Cocoa needs a patient adopter who is willing to invest time and care into correcting his behavior. If you're interested in adopting, please fill out our rescue questionnaire linked under "ADOPT" in our bio. Once we process and approve the application, we will reach out to set up an appointment. Thank you for your patience!
