Coco's Heart Dog Rescue

Coco's Heart Dog Rescue Coco's Heart takes in neglected animals, provides them with medical care and a loving environment.

Coco’s Heart Dog Rescue is an effort grounded in love, dedication and determination. The dream of establishing this rescue started back in 2000 when a very special dog, Coco, passed away unexpectedly at age 5. The loss inspired Coco’s owner, 12 year-old Ashley, to save other canine friends in his name. Ashley and Coco had been the best of friends and it is in his name that this endeavor lives on…. CHDR depends on private donations to function and rescue friends in need.

Whew! We have been busy bees here at Coco's Heart as we recently transitioned to a new software that improves our efficiency of our coordinators and processes BUT that meant our podcast 🎙️is a bit off it's normal schedule so we are excited to have another episode go ✨ L I V E! ✨

The WHO and the HOW rescue animals get to where they need to be!

In this week's episode, we sit down with Stephanie J, a valued member of our veterinary clinic team and the coordinator of our internal rescue transport program.

Stephanie wears many hats, helping care for animals in our clinic while also organizing the complex network of fosters, volunteers, and transporters that keeps our rescue moving. Whether it's arranging a ride to a routine veterinary appointment or coordinating long-distance transportation to specialty hospitals, Stephanie helps make sure every dog gets where they need to be safely and on time.

Join us as we discuss the challenges, rewards, and heartwarming moments that come with coordinating lifesaving care. Stephanie shares what inspires her, the importance of teamwork, and why compassion is at the center of everything she does.

This episode offers a glimpse into the dedication that powers animal rescue every day and celebrates one of the incredible people helping make a difference behind the scenes. You can find our show on our CHDR website as well as Spotify, iHeartRadio, and ApplePodcasts.

Please join us in thanking Stephanie for all that she does for Coco's Heart and our rescue animals! Happy Listening! 🎧

Meet Breezy 💕 (aka beautiful Breezy girl)

Breezy is searching for her forever person or family, someone who will continue to show her just how wonderful the world can be.

She came from a commercial breeding facility and spent her early life in a confined space, so everything about being a “regular dog” is still new to her. But despite her past, Breezy is making incredible progress and learning how to be a brave, confident girl every single day.

At first, Breezy can be shy and cautious with new people. Trust doesn’t come instantly, but once she knows she’s safe and protected, her sweet personality shines through. She will reward your patience with endless love, gentle cuddles, and the sweetest kisses.

Breezy thrives around other dogs and would do best in a home with a confident canine companion (or two!) to help guide her. She currently lives with dogs of all sizes, from 10 to 80 pounds, and gets along beautifully with all of them. She hasn’t met cats yet, but we believe she could do well with a feline friend.

A quieter home environment will help Breezy continue to build confidence, so a home without young children would be ideal.

Breezy’s favorite things include:
Snuggling up close to her person
Giving gentle kisses
Chewing on her favorite bones
Running laps in the yard
Going for walks
Simply being near the people she loves

She’s still working through a few challenges, new people and being picked up can be a bit scary, but with time, patience, and love, Breezy continues to blossom in the most beautiful ways. Watching her grow is truly something special.

Breezy is ready for someone who will meet her where she is, celebrate her progress, and continue helping her discover how safe and loved she really is.

Will you be the one to give Breezy her happily-ever-after?
Apply today to meet this incredibly special girl 💛 Head over to our CHDR to learn more about this beautiful Pomeranian!

Foster Needed for Willow FKA Nova!

Willow is a 2-year-old female aussie mix who was originally adopted as a puppy, but was recently returned to rescue due to not getting along with the other dog in the home. We weren't sure how much of these behavior concerns were situational, so we wanted to welcome her back and get to know her a little bit. Here is what we've learned about her so far:

Willow is quiet and clean in her crate. She does not react to other dogs walking past her

She is tall, lean, and athletic. Gorgeous girl!

When meeting a neutral male dog, she did take his corrections but still was pretty pushy and dominant with him. We think she could learn to co-exist with a dog like him, or would likely do well as an only dog. We do not think she should be in a home with another adult female dog.

She still has some puppy mouthing type behaviors when she is excited. She will need someone who can provide guidance and structure to help her develop into the best possible version of herself!

Think you might be a fit for Willow? We'd love to see her get settled into a foster home ASAP! Please head over to our CHDR website and submit your foster application today if you can welcome her.

Check out this update from Bailey's foster family-

"Meet this fun-loving 8-month-old pup with a big personality and an adventurous spirit. She’s soft and adorable, but definitely has a goofy side and is always ready for her next game of fetch. In fact, if you stop throwing the ball, she’ll politely remind you by dropping it right at your feet.

She loves field trips, meeting new people, and riding in the car. She’s also doing great with her training and already knows sit, shake, and kennel.

She enjoys playing with her foster sister and would love an active home that can keep up with her enthusiasm. Although, she is a gem on her own as well. While she likes people, she’s still a little unsure about young children, so she’d do best with older kids or adults who can help her continue building confidence.

She also has megaesophagus, a well-managed condition that doesn’t slow her down one bit. She simply eats her meals in a special high chair—which is every bit as adorable as it sounds—and handles her routine like a pro.

If you’re looking for a smart, playful, adventure-ready pup with a heart of gold and a tennis ball in her mouth, she’s ready to meet you."
