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.

Chili is an adorable mini golden doodle, 7 months old and 15 lbs of light golden fluff. We like to call her Chili Bop or Bopper, it suits her goofy, bouncy personality. If you’ve ever wanted a golden doodle without having to deal with the hardest puppy months… Chili is your girl!

She’s super social and friendly, does great in her kennel, sleeps through the night, is working on potty training and leash walking. This girl loves life! She is a total hoot, so playful, has the BEST zoomies, is very loving, and kid and dog approved. She bounds around the yard like a little deer and her play bites are the gentlest little nibbles. She enjoys couch time and snuggles as much as playing with us and our resident golden retriever. She’ll run circles around you when she’s excited and doesn’t mind being picked up for some quick snuggles.

Chili seems to know her name and is really responsive to redirection and recall. She’s a super smart girl – she’s figured out how to open the front door from the outside when she’s ready for some air conditioning! She also does fly by photo bombs (see photos!). She’s very people oriented and while she loves to play with dogs, I also think she’d do just fine in a home without another dog. She bonds quickly with her people so the sooner this girl can get into her forever home, the better. She’s foster to adopt at this point because she has some standard medical appointments that she needs to complete before she can be fully adopted. Apply today to take home your new best little girl, Chili!

In the latest episode of our Surviving Animal Rescue podcast 🎙️, three of our leadership team sat down after returning from an animal welfare convention recently and shared the knowledge, conversations, education, and the topics that some might find uncomfortable or controversial.

This is an episode to listen to and think about how and what you agree with on some of the conversations that were discussed at the convention. It gives you an opportunity to put your "rescuer hat" on and ask yourself what would you do and what do you think is right, wrong, or maybe you just don't know how to feel about it.

You can listen to the episode on iHeartRadio, ApplePodcasts, or Spotify as well as heading over to our CHDR website to find our podcast show.

Happy Listening! 🎧

Welcome to Coco's Heart Miss Cinnamon Roll!

If you’re looking for a sweet, squishy faced cutie that loves cuddles and naps, Cinnamon Roll is your girl!

Cinnamon Roll is a wonderful companion that just wants love and to be near her people. She is very friendly with everyone- young kids and dogs included.

Cinnamon Roll is still getting used to a leash so walks are something that might need to be in the future and they will be short, brief walks! She loves being outside but prefers relaxing over exercise.

Cinnamon Roll does great in her crate and is quiet all night. She is also fully potty trained!

Cinnamon Roll is a wonderful dog that will make a great addition to your family! You can find more information about this beautiful young English Bulldog on our CHDR website.

Welcome to Coco's Heart Lisa Frank!

Meet our teeny tiny Frenchie girl... proof that the some of the best things really do come in the smallest packages. This little mama may have had puppies in her past, but now it’s finally her turn to be spoiled, loved, and enjoy the carefree puppy life she’s always deserved. At her petite size, we’re pretty sure she’s relieved her days of c-sections and motherhood are officially behind her!

Despite being a breeder release, she’s already blossoming in foster care and showing more of her silly, playful personality every day. She has started following her foster parents around the house, wanting to be close by and involved in whatever you’re doing. Watching her learn how to simply be a dog has been incredibly sweet

She has not had any accidents in our home when kept on a consistent potty schedule, and she keeps her kennel perfectly clean overnight. She’s kennel trained, settles quietly at bedtime, and doesn’t make a peep through the night.

This tiny girl is looking for a patient, loving family who will continue helping her build confidence while showering her with all the affection she missed out on early in life. In return, you’ll get the cutest little shadow with a huge heart packed into an extra-small body.

For more information about her and our adoption process, head over to our CHDR website!

Foster or Forever Home Needed for Tootsie! 🐾

Tootsie is young, sweet, and about as cute as they come! She loves everyone she meets and has the happiest, most loving personality. She’s a total kiss-giver who wants to be close to her people and make friends wherever she goes. 💕

She also loves other dogs and would thrive with playful canine friends who enjoy her fun, puppy-like energy. Tootsie has done well with cats too — she’s very curious and excited to interact, so confident, dog-savvy cats would be best.

While she can be a little shy at first, she warms up quickly and becomes an incredibly affectionate companion. She’s currently working on potty training and learning all about life in a home, so she’ll need a patient family willing to continue helping her grow.

Tootsie is truly such a loving girl and deserves a home where she can feel safe, adored, and part of the family. 🩷
If you can help Tootsie, send your FC and FM an email, or apply to foster or adopt today!

Grigio is transforming into the sweetest, most loving little companion! Lately, he has decided that he craves attention, and we love it for him. He has officially discovered the joy of being a lap dog and will happily curl up for a long cuddle session. If you want to be his instant best friend, just give him a good scratch right under his chin or behind his ears—he melts!

He has also proven to be a fantastic roommate for pretty much any pet. He does wonderfully with both big and small dogs, using their confidence to help build his own. He also met cats recently and did great—he’s curious but very respectful, showing no aggression or fear. He also spent time around older kids (tweens and teens) and did beautifully! Because he is still building up his confidence, he’d likely do best in a home with older children or a calm environment, with or without other pets.

Grigio is still a curious explorer who loves his yard time, and we are continuing to practice his leash walks. He recently conquered a full flight of stairs! And we love when he stands on his hind legs like a circus performer to catch a glimpse or a sniff of something on a table or bench.

A note on his house training: Grigio has made huge improvements with his marking once he learns a routine and feels safe in a consistent home. However, new environments and visiting other houses can still make him a bit nervous, causing him to regress and mark. A patient adopter who understands that he just needs time to adjust to new spaces will help him succeed.

If you are looking for a gentle, cat-friendly, dog-friendly little shadow who will fill your lap and your heart with love, Grigio is ready to meet you!

You can find more information about him and our adoption process on our CHDR website.
