History: I am Loretta’s puppy!

Loretta is a beautiful girl who found herself at an overcrowded rural shelter and was very pregnant. She had her puppies just days prior to coming to rescue and they settled into their foster home with us very quickly. Her puppies are stocky, pudgy kiddos with unique personalities of their very own!

Momma Loretta has been an amazing dog and has recently taken on 3 Great Dane puppies as a surrogate for Momma Lavender who had 15 puppies and could not produce enough milk for them all. Loretta will be ready for adoption once the Great Dane puppies are no longer needing milk. She is so patient with them and took them in as her own- she is the very best girl!

Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful!

Momma Trixie and her adorable little pups came to rescue recently when they needed a second chance. They were transferred to Coco’s Heart from a partnering organization in rural North Dakota. Trixie and her puppies are officially ready to start their journeys in finding forever homes of their very own soon!

A Note from the Foster: Arthur is a very sweet guy that wants to be where you are and doing what the big dogs do! He’s spunky and playful, while also loving to be held and to snuggle in for naps. We can’t get enough of his super soft grey coat and wrinkly face. He’s a brave boy that notices the details of his surroundings. House training is progressing well by going outside every couple of hours. He goes potty as soon as he’s in the grass, so he’s a fast learner!

A Note from the Foster: Basil is the sweetest baby who has stolen our hearts. This little guy loves to chase toys and chew on socks (provided, not stolen 😉). With a personality that's larger than life, Basil is feisty in the best way possible! He adores playing with his siblings and would thrive with another pup in the home. Basil also gets along wonderfully with our resident chill cat. His crooked stripe on his head just adds to his cuteness! Basil is a fantastic cuddler and will happily sleep with you through most of the night. We absolutely love this little guy and know you will too!

History: Bean is a handsome and adorable little kiddo who needed a second chance at a good life after being discarded by a commercial breeding facility. He has his paws crossed to find his forever home soon!

A Note from the Foster: Hi, I’m Bean! I’m a tiny little bundle of love who can’t wait to give you kisses! I’m a giant snuggle bug who loves to be held and play!

In fact, speaking of play, I just can’t get enough of TOYS; they’re my favorite! When I’m not waiting for snuggles or pets, I’m very adventurous and busy exploring the world around me. There’s so many new sights and sounds for me to take in!

Due to my young age, I am still working on potty training and basic obedience skills. I will greatly benefit from a basic obedience course. In fact, this is required for all dogs younger than 2 years old.

Because I’m a poodle, I will require grooming every 4-8 weeks to keep my hair nice and fresh looking!

If you're looking for a total love bug who will entertain you and shower you with kisses, I'm your boy! I can’t wait to find my forever home and share my love with my new family!

Jayla is a beautiful petite girl who arrived to rescue and SURPRISE, was expecting puppies. She has been a great momma to her 5 little fox-like kiddos and they are all now officially ready to start their journeys in finding forever homes of their very own.

Please research the breed prior to applying. Shiba Inu’s are wonderful dogs however are known to be very independent and cat-like in many ways. They are often content being in the presence of us humans but do not always prefer to be petted on and snuggled up with as often as others may prefer. They are also athletic and fast so having a thoughtful safety plan for keeping them secure and safe while outdoors is important in our experience with Shiba Inu’s.

History: Beauregard is a handsome and adorable little kiddo who needed a second chance at a good life after being discarded by a commercial breeding facility. He has his paws crossed to find his forever home soon!

A Note from the Foster: Hi, I'm Beau!

I'm a super soft, super sweet, and super lovable puppy looking for my forever family!

I'm the perfect mix of calm and playful—sometimes I’ll find a cozy spot nearby to nap, other times I'll be right on your lap for some snuggles. If you pick me up, I’ll melt into your arms and I'm happy to be carried along wherever you are going.

I’m doing awesome with my crate training—no accidents overnight and I potty outside right away in the morning! I’m not 100% potty trained yet, but I’m learning fast. I also love running outside, doing cute little spins while playing with other dogs, and even throwing leaves in the air outside.

I adore people, big and small, and I’ve been doing well with my 5-year-old human foster sister. I love to play with my doggy foster brother and I've been super sweet to every dog I've met. I’m still getting used to my leash, but I’m adjusting well. I've also recently discovered stairs and have caught onto them in record time! 

If you're looking for a smart, loving, friendly poodle pup who will shower you with affection and grow into a beautiful best friend, I might be your perfect match!

Lucy had been abused prior to finding rescue with our partner and had been working hard on her trust building. She has been a wonderful momma and her puppies are officially ready to find forever homes of their own!

Bernard had a heart murmur at birth however after an echo had been done on him, it has since resolved and he is officially ready for adoption!

A Note from the Foster: Bernard is coming into his own since being separated from his litter.   He is a rambunctious boy with lots of energy.  He loves other dogs, is learning to walk on a leash and is doing GREAT with potty training.  He will go on a potty pad OR goes immediately when taken outside.  He has pretty much mastered this and rarely has an accident.  He is a love bug and wants to be close to people.  He sleeps really well at night and prefers snuggling in bed instead of his kennel.  He lets you know by being vocal when left in the kennel.  Eventually he will settle down if put in a kennel.  He does well with kids but is a typical puppy and is teething...so right now he is very mouthy.  Children over 5 might be best while he is still in the puppy stage.  He does understand the word No.  He loves to be outside and is learning to walk on his leash.  He is a very well-rounded happy boy!   

In the attached photos, he is in line with my dogs waiting for a treat from Foster Dad,  In the other photo - let's go upstairs and play with the other dogs Mom

This rescue effort helps animals out of the cold, frigid weather of North Dakota and welcomes them to loving foster homes at Coco’s Heart who work towards finding forever homes for these sweet pups.

A Note from the Foster: Hi, my name is Bodhi. I’m a shy little guy at first, but I am learning new people are a good thing. I love my foster mom & dad, my foster fur siblings and food! I’m crate trained and mostly house trained. I’m working hard on other basic commands and leash walking. At first, walks were very scary for me. But I’ve been doing much better with the help of my fur foster sister Finley. My foster mom says I would be a great little brother for any lucky dog. But if you don’t have a dog, that’s fine, I would be a wonderful best friend to you! I’m looking for my furever Valentine. 💌

Hope to meet you soon

A Note from the Foster: Bowie the Ham here!  

 I am 9 weeks old, weighing in at almost 15 lbs.  I am a beautiful fawn color, and in the sunshine, there is a hue of cream that glows.  Striking I must say  

Foster mommy says I am a ham and a half!  I am a silly boy who’s on the go! I love to play, play, play!  Don’t let the playing fool you, I will make sure to visit you for many kisses and snuggles in the mist of my adventures.  I love playing outside chasing my brother Bruno. We also love chasing after blowing leaves.

I am confident and have learned to tackle the steps going outside, up, and down, with no problem.

Foster mommy says it’s time to be a big boy. This means my brother Bruno and I go potty outside. We try to run as fast as we can to door. Sometimes we barely make if we just woke up. That’s ok because we are only 9 weeks old….  Each day we get further out the door and down the sidewalk. We get paw bumps for trying so hard and doing a great job!  While going potty outside we are also learning to walk on a leash. I don’t mind at all; I go right along side my foster family.  

I like all the new noises I hear outside, it’s so much fun learning!

Bruno and I are learning to sleep in our very own kennels. We still get to be next to each other, but foster mommy says soon we will each have our own forever families.

There are even cats at my new foster home. I am curious about them 😊 Maybe someday those furballs will want to play with me.

I am treat motivated and this will be very helpful with my training.

Please watch for the event notices and come meet me!!

Love ~ Bowie the Ham!

A Note from the Foster: Brownie here!! Weighing in at a mighty 12 lbs and 12 weeks old!

Folks, prepare yourselves—my sleek black coat, adorable brown paws, and speckled heeler markings are a total showstopper. But it’s my sweet, soulful eyes that will really steal your heart! 🥰

I bring the perfect mix of playful energy and snuggly love. One minute I’m zooming around, wrestling with my foster dad or my big sis June (when she lets me 😉), and the next, I’m curled up in a cuddle puddle.

🏡 Kennel trained – I keep it clean overnight!
🐾 Potty training pro – Doing great with outdoor potty time!
🦴 Chew toy lover – Still learning that not everything on the ground is a toy… but treats help me focus!
🐶 Dog & people friendly – I don’t know a stranger!
🚶‍♂️ Great on a leash – I love exploring the world by your side!

And the best part? I love kisses and will happily smother my forever family in them! 💋

I’ll be keeping an eye out for you! You can find more info about me and our adoption process on the CHDR website. 💕

A Note from the Foster: Bruno here coming in as fast as chunky 9-week-old pup can go!!!  I’m now weighing 16 lbs.   

I am a beautiful pup, with cute floppy ears!

Please note kisses and snuggles are on the top of my list!  

I love to play with toys! I have so much fun running outside with my brother Bowie. We like to chase each other and the blowing leaves.

I am learning to tackle the steps going outside. I have mastered going up, but going down is a little scary for me. Foster mommy ensures me it will be ok.  It’s a big step, no pun intended.

Foster mommy says we must learn to be big boys. This means my brother Bowie and I go potty outside. We try to run as fast as we can to door. Sometimes we barely make if we just woke up.

We get paw bumps for trying so hard and doing a great job!  While going potty outside, we are also learning to walk on a leash.

There are even a few kitties here. Maybe I will try and make friends with them. 😊

I love snacks and my meals!! This will be very helpful for training.

Please watch for the event notices and come meet me!!

Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful!

History: Buzzy is a handsome and adorable little kiddo who needed a second chance at a good life after being discarded by a commercial breeding facility. He has his paws crossed to find his forever home soon!

A Note from the Foster: Hi! My name is Buzzy, and I’m a 12 week old Moyen poodle with a very appropriate name because I love buzzing around the house. My foster mom calls me her “little shadow” because I want to be everywhere she is to see what she’s up to and to remind her that I sometimes need some cuddles to feel more secure. I love playing with my soft toys and a Kong with peanut butter, but I don’t have a very long attention span yet.  My foster mom says I’ve been doing well with potty training because sometimes I remember to sniff near the door to signal that I need to potty. I like to go outside to do my business, but more importantly, I get to pounce on leaves and sniff all the fun scents—so much to discover.

I miss my foster mom during the day since she works outside the home, but I’m happy to stay in my create with my toys until she comes home because when she comes home, we play, romp outside, and then watch TV together. My foster mom says that my intake exam is complete and that I get to see the nice vets at Coco’s on April 18th for something called neutering. I would love to meet you and become part of your furever family!

History: Danny is a super handsome puppy who arrived to rescue at just a few days old with his littermates and mom, Adora. They settled into rescue and unfortunately broke with ringworm :( The good news- they are doing really really well and on the mend so are now officially ready to find their forever home soon!

A Note from the Foster: Danny is the most delightful and lovable lumbering giant you'll ever meet. As of mid-March, this adorable pup is just 5 months old and already weighs 35 lbs. Being a large breed, Danny is believed to have Great Pyrenees in his lineage. Despite being in his foster home for only a short time, he is quickly learning the ropes and adapting wonderfully. Danny absolutely adores people of all ages and happily shares his home with two young children (ages 3 and 6), his foster mom and dad, and two other dogs.

Danny's perfect day is filled with snuggles, meals, some light play, more meals, and then hours of cuddling. He would be perfectly content as the only pup in the house, soaking up all the attention, but he can also easily live with other doggy siblings. While he hasn't been introduced to cats, his reaction to them is unknown. With a consistent schedule, Danny is great at avoiding accidents in the house. He keeps his kennel clean throughout the night (for about 6 hours), takes a potty break, and then goes back to his kennel for a few more hours of sleep. Occasionally, he may have a submissive pee when startled with a full bladder, but this is expected to improve as he continues his potty training and becomes more comfortable in his surroundings.

Danny would thrive in a home where his humans work remotely or have a schedule that doesn't leave him alone for long periods. As a puppy, he benefits greatly from additional interaction to set him up for success. Danny is relatively quiet, though he may vocalize when the garbage truck passes by or when a neighbor's dog is howling. However, he quickly settles down.

Danny's greatest loves are people, snuggling, and food. His strong food motivation has made leash training and potty-training progress better than expected. Despite his love for food, he has shown no signs of resource guarding, which is a huge plus when living with other dogs and small children.

Overall, Danny is an absolutely amazing puppy. He is hilarious, goofy, sweet, and handsome. He is definitely a pup I would recommend to a friend or family member!

History: Duke and Daisy Rae are two adorable littermates who needed a second chance at finding forever homes of their very own. They are social, friendly, and would make great additions to lucky families!

A Note from the Foster: Hi, my name is Duke, I’m a six month old German Wirehair Pointer Mix. My momma already had a couple of foster
puppies when she saw that I needed a home. She couldn’t leave me without a home knowing that I’m a pointer mix. Momma has a 12 year old German Shorthair Pointer so she had to take me in. I’m so happy to report that I’m not disappointing her!

I enjoy being in my crate, it’s my home, my safe place. Because it’s my home, I do not potty in there. I potty outside like momma wants me too.

Toys, I LOVE playing with momma and my toys. Momma can’t believe how nice I play with toys and her considering I’m a six month old pointer mix. I keep hearing  mom telling dad that I have just the right amount of energy. She says her twelve year old GSP has more energy than I do, I hear her say something about LOVING my energy level, it’s not to much, it’s just right. I like to play, but I also know how to just chill!

Cuddling, I love to cuddle with my momma. I lay on the floor and she rubs my belly, there is no better feeling. I jump up on her lap every now and then but before you know it, I’m back on the floor playing with my toys.

Little kids and cats, I’m sure I would get along with both, we just don’t have them here but I’m sure I would learn to love them.

Momma says I have to get out of here before she falls in love with me and won’t get me go. I hear her tell dad that I’m a perfect comprise for someone who wants a bird dog but not the super high energy of a German Shorthair. I can’t wait to get to play with my GSP brother, we are going to run, chase, point and all the things us bird dogs should do.

Mom took me on a walk today and I like this leash thing. It gets me outside but keeps me safe.

If you want a mellow, smart, fun, loving bird dog, look no further, I’m right here!

A Note from the Foster: Hi, my name’s Eddie! I’m a chill little dude with a big heart, and I like to keep things peaceful—if my brother Erik gets too wild, I’m the one calming things down. I’m getting braver every day, and I’ll sit for a treat, but only if I’m in my kennel (my rules). I’m working on being potty trained, but I already know outside is where I handle most of my business. I love to play. I’ve learned how to play fetch, even with big sticks but I like to bring all of my toys to a secret spot.  Don’t tell anyone. I’m also cool just minding my own business and doing my own thing. If you’re looking for a laid-back pup with a playful side, I might just be your guy!

A Note from the Foster: Meet Erik – The Ultimate Cuddle Buddy!

Erik is a lovable and affectionate Mini Australian Shepherd who will find your lap no matter where you sit! This sweet boy is a quick learner—he already knows how to sit for a treat and loves a good game of fetch. While he’s still working on potty training, he keeps his kennel dry through the night.

Don’t be fooled by his calm demeanor—Eric has a playful side! He loves wrestling with his bigger brother and running wild at the park. He gets along great with the resident dogs and is very food-motivated, making training a breeze. One of his most endearing qualities? He locks eyes with you when you talk to him, as if he truly understands every word.

Eric would make the perfect addition to any home, and we know he’d thrive with small children, becoming their best friend and loyal companion. If you’re looking for a loving, playful pup who will always be by your side, Eric is your guy!

A note from her foster: I’m Fox, the snuggliest pup you will ever meet! I love nothing more than being close to my people!

I do great with humans of all ages, I love you so much sometimes I may trip you up! I particularly love my foster Mom’s baby, she likes to give me treats.

I’m really trying with potty training, I love to take walks and I walk well on a leash. When I’m encouraged I remember it’s good to potty outside. 

I don’t like my crate very much, I’d much prefer to be snuggled up with you, but after a few cries I can sleep in my crate for most of the night.

I would do best in a home that has people in most of the time, I do feel a little anxious when I am left on my own and can get a little noisy but I am just reminding you to not forget about me.

Jayla is a beautiful petite girl who arrived to rescue and SURPRISE, was expecting puppies. She has been a great momma to her 5 little fox-like kiddos and they are all now officially ready to start their journeys in finding forever homes of their very own.

Please research the breed prior to applying. Shiba Inu’s are wonderful dogs however are known to be very independent and cat-like in many ways. They are often content being in the presence of us humans but do not always prefer to be petted on and snuggled up with as often as others may prefer. They are also athletic and fast so having a thoughtful safety plan for keeping them secure and safe while outdoors is important in our experience with Shiba Inu’s.

A Note from the Foster: Goog is a goofy puppy who is very eager to please! He is very food motivated and is a quick learner, which makes training so fun. Goog does well in his kennel. He is dog friendly, people friendly, and kid friendly (maybe not super young kids because of his energy). He’s working on potty training, but making very good progress!

Goog plays hard and sleeps hard! He LOVES all types of toys and listens when told not to chew on something he isn’t supposed to. He also loves wrestling with our resident dog and is respectful when playtime is over. He sleeps through the night in his kennel and during the work day (with a few potty breaks during the day).

If you’re looking for a silly and fun pup, Goog will not disappoint!

Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful!

History: Harold is a super handsome puppy who arrived to rescue at just a few days old with his littermates and mom, Adora. They settled into rescue and unfortunately broke with ringworm :( The good news- they are doing really really well and on the mend so are now officially ready to find their forever home soon!

A Note from the Foster: Harold is a handsome black and white boy with unique double dew claws. He is a mellow guy who loves to play but also loves being a big lap dog. He adores affection from his people and is a big baby. Harold has met many dog friends, large and small, as well as cats and has done great with all of them.  He would be content as an only pup, or great with siblings - human or 4 legged!

He does great hanging out in his kennel to eat and while we clean up without making a peep. 

At about 35 lbs, he will be a medium to large sized dog. He's pretty quiet unless the other dogs in the house alert him to something to be vocal about, like the mail or a delivery.

Harold is very food motivated and will likely need to be fed separately from any other pets so he has his space to enjoy it. 

Overall, Harold is an amazing, smart, sweet cuddle bug and the family that welcomes him will be so lucky to have him.

History: We recently held our annual Out of the Cold Rescue Effort and welcomed back 200+ animals to rescue. This rescue effort helps animals out of the cold, frigid weather of North Dakota and welcomes them to loving foster homes at Coco’s Heart who work towards finding forever homes for these sweet pups.

A Note from the Foster: Hercules, Hercules, Hercules; that’s what I hear my foster momma and others call me!

From the start my foster momma thought that I seemed to be more timid than my siblings; I let them lead the way and if I am feeling brave enough I follow. Sometimes I will go and investigate what they are checking out and then return to my comfy dog bed and enjoy some alone time with my chew. One thing that I have found myself to REALLY enjoy is chasing that ball! Sometimes I even toss it for myself with my mouth or push it with my paw and then chase it. My foster momma says I am getting really good at bringing it back to her and playing fetch too! It’s so much fun! When I am all done playing fetch my other most favorite thing is belly rubs! Oh my goodness a good belly rub just puts me right into relax mode, it just feels so good and I cannot get enough. Foster momma even has a hard time getting photos of me because as soon as she walks up to take a picture I roll over for a belly rub!

I am working super hard on my potty training and crate training. I am doing SO good! I keep my crate clean at night and as long as we stick to my potty routine I am not having any accidents in the house; sometimes if it’s not my scheduled potty time I go sit or pace at the door so that they know I need to go. I am not a super huge fan of my crate, I would much rather be out snuggling on a dog bed or with you. With that being said I do give you a little sad tune that I am not enjoying being in my crate, but give me time (and maybe a good bone) and I will relax and go to sleep for the night or while you are out of the home. I do really enjoy snuggle time with the other dogs in the home and my foster humans, but I really don’t mind laying by myself and relaxing too. 

A little about my background. I came from a rural area in northern North Dakota during this year's Out Of The Cold Rescue! Nobody really knows what happened to myself and my brother and sister before our time with Coco’s but at some point I sustained an injury to my right eye. I may have a scar in my retina, however I don’t know any difference, it does not bother me one bit! The vet says they just recommend my furever family would have their vet monitor it throughout my life, but they do not expect any issues to arise. I am completely vetted, neutered and cleared for adoption! 

I really hope you will reach out to learn more about me! I hope to find my furever home real soon, could it be you? I hope so!

A Note from the Foster: Jet is an adorable cuddly loving little puppy. He is enjoying exploring his new world and space. And when something scares him he runs to me for hugs and cuddles. He is just learning what toys and treats are. But seems to tentatively try them. The latest is rolling mini tennis ball’s. He is super cute and his personality matches it. He is doing excellent on potty training. Has only had one accident in the house.

This rescue effort helps animals out of the cold, frigid weather of North Dakota and welcomes them to loving foster homes at Coco’s Heart who work towards finding forever homes for these sweet pups.

A Note from the Foster: Woof, herro! Hi everyone, my name is Johnny Utah aka Johnny, Johnny Boy, John Boy!! I am a pretty bashful fella, and sometimes it takes me a little while for me to come out of my shell. Once I start to feel comfortable I can be a pretty silly guy; I love to snuggle, play and be a goofy boy with my human and dog friends!

My foster momma has been really patient with me to help me come out of my shell, I am so unsure about all of the things in this big world. There are so many sounds and smells and sometimes it just gets a little overwhelming and she needs to help me be confident. I have made a lot of progress, but occasionally still need some reassurance. 

I have learned very quickly that I am supposed to go potty outside. Leashes make me really unsure but I am working on being brave on walks. My foster momma puts me on a tie out and stands outside with me; this allows me to go about doing my business without feeling like she is going to pull me or lead me somewhere. I am more confident on my tie out than my lead, and the resident dog/other foster pups come out and play with me to help me be brave. I know if I have to go outside I need to get their attention, so I will pace and quietly whine. I have also noticed that if I start heading down the steps my foster momma starts to follow and asks “Johnny do you need to go potty” so I just sit by the door and wait for her to let me out! 

Some things that I really enjoy are playtime with my foster fur siblings and the humans in the house! I do best when the people in the house sit on the floor to play with me so that they are at my level and I do not feel intimidated. I am very unsure about little people (kids), they make a lot of crazy noises and they move so sporadically that it scares me; I may do best in a home with big kids that are more aware of what might scare me. I really like to play tug-a-war, I’m working on learning how to bring back the ball when I fetch it, and I definitely know how to savor a good chew bone! I can definitely be self entertaining too when no one wants to play; I love to toss my toys for myself! When not playing I just love to lounge and snuggle with my fur friends and humans! Oh, how I have learned that snuggles can be just the absolute best ever! 

I do really well in my crate when my foster parents are not home and at night, they usually keep me in their room so that I don’t get scared that I am being left behind. I either sleep on the floor in my bed or in my crate. I'm doing really well making it through the night without having to go out to go potty; occasionally that changes and I just whine to let my foster momma know. 

A little about my background. Myself and my four other siblings came to Coco’s with the OOTC 2024 rescue effort. We did not have our mother for very long which is possibly why I have such skittish tendencies, but I am working oh so hard to improve them. I think I would do best in a home with another dog that is past the puppy phase and willing to accept me into their home; otherwise if there is no other dog to help me be brave I am going to need humans with patients to help me build my confidence in being the only dog in the home. There are cats in my foster home and they really interest me, but for the most part I leave them alone after they let me give them a sniff! 

I really hope that after reading a little about me, you’ll want to reach out to get to know me, because I cannot wait to meet you!

Jayla is a beautiful petite girl who arrived to rescue and SURPRISE, was expecting puppies. She has been a great momma to her 5 little fox-like kiddos and they are all now officially ready to start their journeys in finding forever homes of their very own.

Please research the breed prior to applying. Shiba Inu’s are wonderful dogs however are known to be very independent and cat-like in many ways. They are often content being in the presence of us humans but do not always prefer to be petted on and snuggled up with as often as others may prefer. They are also athletic and fast so having a thoughtful safety plan for keeping them secure and safe while outdoors is important in our experience with Shiba Inu’s.

History: Our Out of the Cold Rescue efforts continue all winter long as we have recently welcomed another deserving group from our rural area partners in North Dakota.

A Note from the Foster: If you are looking for a little shadow, a loyal companion who will insist that he needs to follow you everywhere, even into the bathroom, then look no further. He’s a gem and will think the world of you. 

He has made major improvements over the past couple of months. He is nearly potty trained, and keeps his kennel clean during the day. He does sleep in a kennel during the night. However, he doesn’t love it. He eventually settles down but I know he’d love to be near his person at night. He got to sleep in bed with a temp foster and did great! 

He is an excellent cuddler! He prefers to cuddle on the couch next to his humans over playing. When he does play, he plays hard and very well with his big dog friends. He’s very affectionate and is always showing how much he loves our kids with endless kisses. 

He’s very food motivated, eating is his favorite. He likes to supervise his food preparation and knows to sit and wait til his bowl is placed in front of him. He also likes to be in the kitchen with you so he can quickly clean up any food or spills that happen, he is such a good little helper. 

We have started to learn about walks, they aren’t his favorite, he actually very much dislikes them. He doesn’t like walking away from the house but after some practice he’ll start to see that they are enjoyable and that he always gets to go back home. 

He would do well as a single dog or one of many, kids or no kids.

A Note from the Foster: Tuxedo is a bit timid, but doing well learning how to be a puppy.  He is adorable and cuddly, but still a little scared.  Manage to carry him on half a walk tonight and then he walked on the leash the whole way back.  

He is quiet in his kennel overnight, learning what toys are and even managed to convince one of my dogs to play with him.

 He would make a wonderful companion for any home.  He is also very handsome.

History: We recently held our annual Out of the Cold Rescue Effort and welcomed back 200+ animals to rescue. This rescue effort helps animals out of the cold, frigid weather of North Dakota and welcomes them to loving foster homes at Coco’s Heart who work towards finding forever homes for these sweet pups.

A Note from the Foster: Tyler is a sweet pup! He can be shy upon meeting new people, but is full of fun & personality once he warms up to them!

He loves to play with his toys and foster brother, Maui! He is making great progress with his potty training and loves his treats related to his training! He does great in his kennel during the day and night. Ultimately he is a great dog and a snuggle bug!

We have loved having him in our home so far!

A Note from the Foster: Wheeler Wheeeeee, that’s me! Sometimes my foster momma calls me Wheels too! I’m really beginning to learn a lot about this big world around me. It is so different from the rural area in ND that I came from. I have learned that I really enjoy playing with toys and dog chews while growling like a gargoyle; it makes me feel big and strong, especially when I’m playing tug-o-war. I REALLY enjoy treats! I am learning that if I sit I will get a treat even faster! I have to say my most favorite thing to do in my free time is snuggle! OH MY GOODNESS, who knew snuggles could be so amazing! Whether I am curled in my own bed alone with my blanket, with another dog in the house, or with my foster momma; I LOVE TO SNUGGLE! Sometimes when she is in bed my foster momma lets me under the blankets and it is just so warm and cozy! 

I am being such a good boy and working REALLY hard on my potty training! Sometimes with all of this cold weather foster momma has put a sweater on me and that helps so I don’t get so chilly, then I am more willing to go do my business outside when it’s cold. Otherwise I was coming in and going and using the potty pads in the house that were supposed to be only for my emergencies. When I have to be in my crate while the humans are away at work I am really good at respecting my area and keeping it nice and clean; I know as soon as they get home they will take me outside to go potty. 

I am doing really well socializing with other dogs, both young/older and smaller/bigger; I like to play with everyone as long as they play nice with me. If I feel like I do not want to play anymore I just separate myself from the group or go ask foster momma to pick me up for snuggles. We all eat in our crates (this way we mind our manners) so I know when it comes time for my meals, and food is being scooped into our bowls, I run right for my crate and wait so excitedly for my food! Sometimes I bark in excitement! There are also 3 cats in my foster home! These feline things are all pretty interesting because none of them act the same, but now I just sniff them and let them be when they come by. Occasionally if they run from me I will give them a little chase, just for a little game, I don’t want to hurt them I just want to see if they will play. 

My foster momma thinks I would do good in a home with or without other animals; she says I am the perfect combination of energy and snuggles. I have met kids of all ages at some of the CHDR events that I have attended with my foster momma, I enjoy them! If anyone lets me, I love giving kisses on the face, or I will settle for cleaning your fingers for you too! 

I really hope that you will want to get to know me more! Keep an eye out, I love going to Coco’s events! Come see me!

History: I was born in rescue and Jayla is my mom! Please read my full bio before applying :)

Jayla is a beautiful petite girl who arrived to rescue and SURPRISE, was expecting puppies. She has been a great momma to her 5 little fox-like kiddos and they are all now officially ready to start their journeys in finding forever homes of their very own.

Please research the breed prior to applying. Shiba Inu’s are wonderful dogs however are known to be very independent and cat-like in many ways. They are often content being in the presence of us humans but do not always prefer to be petted on and snuggled up with as often as others may prefer. They are also athletic and fast so having a thoughtful safety plan for keeping them secure and safe while outdoors is important in our experience with Shiba Inu’s.
