CHDR receives dozens of requests for help each week. We will respond within 1-3 business days (M-F) only if we have room to help. If the animal you surrendering was adopted from CHDR, you will receive a response from us within the time frame above.

We do require two pictures of the animal you are surrendering. We will not respond to inquiries without pictures sent to johanna@cocosheartdogrescue.org.

This is only an inquiry and not a contract. If we are able to help or your animal was adopted through CHDR, you will be required to sign and submit a formal surrender form provided from our Surrender Coordinator.

Please note- injured or animals needing medical care- Coco’s Heart can only provide veterinary care and services for in-rescue animals who have been surrendered or transferred to rescue. We cannot take in animals without this process taking place and do recommend heading to AERC or the U of M for any urgent care.
