History: 🧡 From Texas to Midwest 🤠—- A group of deserving dogs was recently welcomed as part of our Texas Transport Program! A program launched to make an impactful difference for our partner shelters in Texas facing the overpopulation of animals with limited resources and low adoption rates. We are excited to help these southern gems find loving forever homes to call their own!

A Note from the Foster: Arthur has really made me only want to foster senior dogs! He is an 8 year old cattle dog mix that has gone through more than any animal should. His previous owner passed away and Arthur arrives from Texas looking for a second chance. For such a sad past, you would never know Arthur has gone through hard times. Arthur has fit into our home and life seamlessly. He is incredibly chill and relaxed when you want him to be, and ready for adventure and playtime whenever you are! He loves a good walk and fetch. He also likes to train and is very food motivated, so old dogs can definitely learn new tricks! He is still working on crate training (he barks when left alone right now) but will sleep on his bed the entire time I’m gone. He has lived with other dogs before and does well, but as he has a higher prey drive, I’m not sure about cats. He loves his people and will settle in pressed against you as soon as you sit down. Who is ready to give Arthur a second chance?

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.

A Note from the Foster: Meet Chocolate. He is a 3 yr old pittie mix.  This beefy guy would be a great addition to any family. He is a jolly guy, quick with a smile and a waggy tail. He is house broken and kennel trained. He knows sit and shake and loves to go for walks. He is great on the leash… until he comes across a smell that needs more than the passing sniff and he becomes quite immovable until all the sniffs are sniffed. I would classify him as a medium to low energy dog. He likes to play with his toys but his favorite activity is chilling on the couch with his person. He did well with other dogs,  playing with the friendly ones and respectful of the ones that want to be left alone. I think he would do great with kids. He is a pretty gentle guy. Not sure about cats. He sees a neighbor cat outside and is interested but not reactive so I think he would be fine with them. He is a bit on the heavy side and should lose a few pounds so we are working on that. Can you welcome this sweet guy into your family?

History: Our Out of the Cold Rescue Effort was a great success in welcoming over 180+ animals to rescue from rural areas in North Dakota before the cold set in. These animals are all so deserving and thankful to get a second chance in finding a forever home of their own!

Eddie is working on his confidence being handled so an experienced home will be important for Eddie. He may also do best in a home without small children due to his initial trust concerns he may have.

A Note from the Foster: Eddie is awesome! Eddie is an OOTC surrender that each day becomes calmer, more playful, and loves head rubs. 

He is a strong guy but very gentle.  Walking on a leash is getting better and enjoyable. He has seen other dogs on walks and seems eager to meet them without barking. I feel he would be great with other dogs. He has met visitors appropriately.  Has not been around kids or cats. He sleeps all night and quietly in his kennel, in the living room.  Car rides are good. He has been on short trips out of kennel and long trips in the kennel. He eats well and loves treats. I feel he would be great for an active family. He loves to keep track of where we are and is happy to see us return home.  Has had no accidents in the house, will go to the door if he needs to go out. A sweet, gentle, and fun guy to have in our home as a foster.

A Note from the Foster: Fynn is adjusting to life with a family.  He walks well on a leash, but walks are short due to stamina.  He loves playing with the resident dog.  He would do best in a home with another dog to show him the ropes.  A home with shared walls would not be recommended because he can be very vocal.  Potty training is coming along.  He wears a belly band for marking issues. He sleeps all night in his kennel without a peep.  He is working on being in the kennel during the day and when the family leaves the house. He gets very attached to one person and will be by your side always.  He is looking forward to joining a family and living his best life!

A Note from the Foster: Meet Harvey: The Sweetest Little Love Bug! 🐾

Looking for a loyal companion who’s always up for an adventure and loves cuddles? Meet Harvey! This affectionate chicken nugget of joy is a total charmer who enjoys long walks, car rides, and even bath time!

Harvey loves coming up to you for pets and affection—he’s the perfect size for daily walks and gets along well with new humans. His potty training is going smoothly with a consistent schedule and his foster mom thinks he would benefit from a family who would be around or have another dog to play with! 

He’s overall a shy guy and is still a little nervous around certain sudden and loud noises, but he bounces back quickly, getting better with more exposure to new sounds and associations! Everyone he meets notices how intelligent and friendly he is! 

He is not a barker but may whimper or poodle-howl a bit when left alone or when he’s sleeping in a separate room, but with some patience and love, he’ll feel more comfortable in no time. He also makes his sleeping kennel and playpen his own!  

If you’re looking for a chill and loving dog who’ll always be by your side, Harvey is ready to meet you and find his forever home! ❤️

Isaac is deaf but does well despite this!

A Note from the Foster: Meet Isaac: 14 lbs of Pure Fun! 🐾

Don’t let my tiny size fool you—I’ve got a big personality! I may be deaf, but I make up for it with a heart full of love, boundless energy, and yes… a lot of barking (I take my job as the neighborhood announcer very seriously). Playing is my favorite thing in the world (seriously… PLAY!!!! 🎾) and I’m always ready for a game. Treats? Yes, please! My eyes light up at the very sight of them.

I’m a pro at doing my business outside when kept on schedule, and I sleep soundly in my crate all night (and keep it nice and clean). A fenced yard would be my dream so I can run and explore safely. Chew toys are my jam, and if you’re looking for a constant, loving shadow, I’m your pup. I’d also love a playful dog buddy in my new home to join in all the fun! 🐶💞

If you’ve got energy, toys, snacks, maybe another furry playmate—and don’t mind my vocal side—we might just be a perfect match! 💕

Breed: Shepherd & Collie Mix
Age: DOB: 03/2020
Weight: 38 lbs
Dog Friendly: Yes
Cat Friendly: Yes
Kid Friendly: Unknown
House Trained: Please read full bio

History: Jax was born with a defect in his lower intestinal tract.The defect affects the muscles of  his rectum and anus. His anal opening is very small and he has only minimal control of those muscles. He has been managed for the past several years of his life with a variety of medications, including fiber supplements, medications to control the consistency of his stools, and ointments for his skin to keep it from developing a rash.

He has been evaluated by veterinary surgeons and the consensus is that while surgery could be performed to open up that opening, it would leave him with close to zero control.

He will need to have these medications for life, and the condition may cause periodic issues with constipation. He will need a very dedicated home and very regular veterinary care to maintain his health and comfort. 

A note from the foster: The most important thing to know about Jax is that he LOVES love. If you’ve got hands, he wants (in fact, demands) pets. As far as Jax is concerned, his body is a temple and humans are meant to worship him (and given what a sweet, soft, handsome boy he is, it’s honestly hard to fault his logic). 

Jax has had a tough life and has done quite a bit of bouncing around, but you wouldn’t guess that after meeting him. We’ve had Jax for nearly a year and we’ve learned so much about this smart, charming, goofy boy that we’d love to share with you! Here are some of our favorite things about Jaxy (as we mostly call him):

Jax is extremely clever, eager to please and tries so hard to be patient. Plus, he responds really well to positive reinforcement training so as much as his new family wants to teach him, he’s ready to learn.

He’s an excellent cuddle buddy. If you invite him onto the couch with you, he’ll jump right up and lay on your lap. He also gives great “hugs”, where he pushes his forehead into you and sort of burrows in, it’s very sweet!

Tennis balls are life. Jax will often dig through the toy box until he finds his favorite tennis ball and then it’s time to play the best game that’s ever been invented (fetch). 

Like we’ve said, Jax loves love. He just wants to be where his people are and once you meet him, you’ll want to be where he is, too.

He’s the perfect combination of guard dog and welcoming committee. He will bark to let you know when something is amiss (and, honestly, he’ll bark when something isn’t amiss too, so he would not be a good fit for shared walls). But he greets everyone he meets with joy and exuberance (sometimes a little too much exuberance!). Jax’s prescribes to the “strangers are just best friends you haven’t met yet” life philosophy.

He’s really good at respecting space. If he’s in the way or asking for a little too much attention, we tell him to “go on” and he knows to go settle himself somewhere else.

He’s very respectful of cats! He leaves our cat almost entirely alone. 

He’s super smart. He knows the following commands: sit, down, shake, hold on, come, go to your place, go to bed, go on, that’s too much, not for us, with me, see the puppy, see the people, go poop, neighborhood sounds (our cue for “stop barking at random noises outside”) and, my personal favorite, pom poms (he wags his floofy tail like the loveable cheerleader he is).

We don’t have kids but he’s done great with all the kids he’s met with us (and previous fosters also said he was good with kids, too). That said, he’s quite excitable, so he would likely do better in a house with older kids who are dog-savvy (there’s a definite chance Jax could accidentally knock a young child over with love). 

There are so many wonderful things about Jaxy! And, of course, there are things Jax is working on, too. Here are the most important ones his new family should be prepared to support him with:

Jax’s medical needs are such that he can get some poop out on his own, but if he doesn’t have help, he can’t fully excrete, which leads to compaction and constipation…which is no fun for anyone. This means he always needs a pooping companion, and we go outside with him (or keep a close eye on him) pretty much every time he goes out. Now that we’ve got a routine down, his bathroom needs are just a part of the background. But real talk: living with Jax does mean poop in the house. He is fully potty trained, but some “dribble” is inevitable, especially when he’s asleep. 

Separation training is a work in progress for Jax, but he has come such a long way with us. Jax used to panic when we left the house (even for something as small as just taking the trash out) and tear up the house or his crate. With the help of an excellent trainer, we worked so hard on this with Jax and he can now handle up to (as of October 2025) 5 hours alone and uncrated! His new family should expect some regression as Jax enters his new home so it will be really important to not leave him alone for the first few weeks while he adjusts and to slowly ease him into departures. With patience and the right support, we’re confident Jax will do well!

Dog reactivity is probably something Jax will work on for his whole life, especially if he stays in a city or busy suburban environment. When Jax sees or hears a new dog, his typical response is barking and lunging. This can make walks challenging if you (like us) live in a neighborhood with lots of other dogs around. He’s gotten so much better at being redirected and knows to look at us when he sees a new dog on a walk to get a treat, but there’s still room for improvement. As for actually meeting/living with dogs, Jax adores our resident dog, a 2-y/o submissive female pitbull/whippet mix. They play for hours, share toys, snuggle with each other, and he doesn’t guard resources (they are always fed separately). That said, he’s been quite dog selective with us and, if his new home had a resident dog, we think he would likely need a somewhat submissive and fairly calm female. He was previously returned to rescue because of issues with his adopted family’s older male resident dog and we’d really want to make sure he was set up for success in his new home. Jax is on daily anxiety medication to help with his reactivity, and his new family should expect to continue this regimen.

Overexcitement is part of the package with Jaxy. Car rides? “HOLY SMOKES THE CAR, LET’S GOOOOOO,” says Jax. Doorbell? “DID YOU GET A PACKAGE IS SOMEONE HERE HOLY SMOKES LET’S GOOOOO.” Friend coming over? “MY FAVORITE PERSON EVER OF ALL TIME IS HERE, LET’S GOOOOOO.” Sound outside? “WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT I SHOULD CHECK IT OUT, LET’S GOOOOOO.” All this to say, Jax is an excitable boy. We’ve seen him thrive with consistency in expectations and positive reinforcement training. Currently, we are particularly reliant on place training (for example, when he barks at something outside, he knows to go to his place to get a treat rather than to keep barking at whatever he thinks he hears); redirecting for a calm welcome/greeting with treats; and trying not to put him in situations where we know he’ll get overly riled up.

History: Miles of Smiles AKA Miles is a super smiley and happy boy who needed a second chance from a rural area. He is all things stocky with an A+ personality. He has his paws crossed to meet his forever home soon!

A note from the foster: Miles of Smiles is a smiley and happy pittie boy. He has a beautiful brindle coat, and is a nice medium size. 

Miles is friendly fella who likes all people, kids, and dogs. He loves to run and wrestle with his doggie friends. His go to move is a sneak attack on his doggie friends back legs:) After playtime, Miles likes to curl up in a ball and take a good nap. He can sleep in his kennel at night, but his all time favorite activity is sleeping in bed with his people! He knows it's a special treat so he snuggles in good and stays curled up all night.

Miles is potty trained and does well in the house. He can sit, and responds well to his name. Miles is crate trained, but requires a sturdy crate. He can push the boundaries so needs good structure and routine. Miles is the type of dog who doesn't always "show" well. He gets a bit too excited and anxious when he's out in public or in new environments. He does best when he's settled in a quiet home, snuggled up in a cozy spot. He'll take a few weeks to adjust to a new family, but he's worth it!

PROS: loves all types of people, potty trained, sleeps all night, likes other dogs, has e collar experience, loves snuggles and cuddles! 

CONS: anxious in new settings, can be vocal with busy neighborhood commotion, no cats, non symptomatic lymes positive, puller on leash.

Though Miles looks like a big tough guy, he is a big baby at heart. He's nice, sweet, and oh so fun. He'd make a great dog for so many types of homes. He can't wait to meet his forever family!

He is immediately affectionate of newcomers, and does not take long to adjust to new surroundings. Once introduced to his surroundings, he is extremely self-sufficient. Petey is not a big complainer and rarely makes a fuss.

🏡 Around the House

Petey LOVES affection—gentle pets, silly dog-talk, goofy face rubs, and even a little roughhousing. He’s incredibly tolerant and takes love in all its forms. His motto: “All affection is good affection.”

Petey is a lover. He is happy to see you. For someone looking for easy companionship, Petey is a phenomenal fit. 

Petey is quiet. Yes, he might quietly snore a bit, but his foster has yet to hear him bark. He is unbothered by city noises and sleeps solidly for naps and through the night.

He communicates plenty through wiggly excitement, soulful looks, and spontaneous snort-symphonies. Loves good scratches at the base of his tail and neck.

Petey needs a bit of regular grooming, especially around his adorable face folds. He’s extremely cooperative—even if he wiggle-worms his face away like “sir please, why must we do this?”—but never growls or gets grumpy. He is easy to bathe and does not put up a fight. He is prone to getting cold, so a sweater on cold fall/winter/spring days is a must! 

Petey wants to be near his people; he’s sweetly affectionate without being clingy. He’s content to lounge in his open kennel with a blanket. He does not chew household items (bonus!). But he does enjoy sticks, toys, and gently tugging on towels/ropes. 

Petey prefers to be the only dog in the household, where he can give his full love to his parents and receive all the love back. 

Petey is working on not marking indoors and has already made great progress! He seems to be less territorial when he is the only dog in the home, but he’s also totally comfortable wearing a belly band throughout the day.

🚶 Mobility & Style

He’s a follower through and through. Wherever you lead, he will be closely in tow. 

Petey travels well. Once in the car, he's silent, peaceful, and calm. No pacing, no whining. 

🧠 Personality Highlights

Sweetest boy you’ll ever meet

Loves friendly humans more than anything

Never barks, never whines

Snorts like a piggy

Accepts infinite pets

Easy traveler, easy bather, easy to love

Independent

Sensitive, gentle, tolerant

Zero aggression, big sweetie

🏆 Who Should Adopt Petey?

Someone who wants:
✔ A calm, snuggly companion
✔ A low-drama, high-charm dog
✔ A little guy who follows your lead
✔ A pet who loves attention but doesn’t demand constant cuddles
✔ A hilariously snorty sweetheart

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: Rambo is a striking young dog with a lot of love to offer the right environment. He thrives with consistency and a confident adopter as well as being the only dog in the home. He likely was not set up for success as a young puppy and never learned those fundamentals in sharing :) Because of this, a non-kid home is also recommended. He is a great boy and with the right family will be a wonderful addition to the family!

A Note from the Foster: Hi! I’m Rambo - Let me get right to the point and tell you a little about me!!

I take the job of “best friend” very seriously. I’m the friendliest guy around! If I’m really excited to see you, I might even give you a hug… but I try to be polite, so I’m also big on handshakes, because I’m a gentleman like that.

On the daily, I’m usually sleeping next to my foster mom while she works, keeping an eye out the window for anything suspicious, or (when my foster mom is in the office) hanging out in my kennel. Mostly, I’m pretty chill. A couple times a day, I get the zoomies, and I love to go full steam ahead then! 🚂💨

My absolute FAVORITE game is tug-o-war, especially when I get the zoomies. I’m a strong boy, so I’ll definitely win! I’ll even bring my toy right to you when I want to play, which is super cute (or so I’m told!).

I know sit, and I take treats very gently. My kennel is my happy place, second (of course) to being with my people. My foster mom was so surprised with how obedient I am when it’s time to go “kennel.” I’m potty trained, and I ask to go outside if I need to. When we go on walks, I’ve been making great progress on my leash manners. I’m a big dude who just loves to sniff… but I get that sometimes we have to leave those interesting smells alone.

My profile says “only dog” or something. The reality is, I’m sure there are dogs out there I could learn to coexist with and often try to make friends when out and about… but I’d really prefer to be your one and only canine.

If I could pick, I would love a family that would take me on fun adventures. I love exploring and going on walks, and I think hikes sound like a great time!

If you’re looking for a new best friend, you’re in luck — because I would love to BE your new best friend! If you give me your love, I’ll give it all back - and then some. If I sound like the dog for you, I would love to meet you!!

Sincerely, Rambo

History: Ray is a super handsome boy who was recently welcomed to rescue and will warm your heart with his smile and happy personality. He has his paws crossed to find his forever home soon!

A Note from the Foster: Ray, also known as Raymond, is a sweet 7 year old neutered mini poodle that came to us as a breeder release. Raymond has come out of his shell slowly and is hilarious! He gives you the side eye when he’s not getting his way, will talk to you when it’s time for supper, his daily zoomies make me giggle, and he has started playing with small stuffed toys. He has started living his best life but is waiting patiently for someone to spend the rest of his life with.

Raymond is potty trained when on a schedule. He gets two walks a day and is excellent on leash in his harness. We do have him on a special food that has helped with his reflux. He is on anxiety medication which has helped a lot in getting him settled. He is crated when I am at work, he does not like being in there and will tell you for a bit then will settle down. He is SO happy to see me when I come home he talks again telling me about his day. Because he does talk a lot I don’t think he would do well in a home with connecting walls. He sleeps with me on my bed all night. I have a 60 pound female labrador that he doesn’t mind being with, they mostly ignore each other. He loves meeting new people and dogs out on our walks. He is much more comfortable around women than men. He is my third leg when I am home so expect him to follow you around. His favorite place in the whole world is sitting on you or by you on the couch getting scratches. He loves getting tummy rubs! We have just started pulling out the blanket and he loves cuddling under that with me now.

He is just the sweetest thing!

History: Our Out of the Cold Rescue Effort was a great success in welcoming over 180+ animals to rescue from rural areas in North Dakota before the cold set in. These animals are all so deserving and thankful to get a second chance in finding a forever home of their own!

A Note from the Foster: Hi, I'm Reuben! When I arrived at Coco's Heart my name was "JugHead" so I may not respond right away to my new name. I love to snuggle on couches while binge-watching shows. When I'm not letting you know that I need snuggles, I enjoy keeping an eye on things happening outside the window. I'm a pretty chill guy and don't really bark or jump up. You can even make me wear ugly sweaters that are slightly too tight for me. I might whine a little and will definitely wag my tail and scratch at the door if we're getting ready to go on a walk. I love walks and could use some help not pulling on the leash, but I'm not stubborn about it. Loud and fast cars make me a little nervous, so I stay pretty cautious on sidewalks next to busy streets. I am REALLY good at going potty outside and I'm not super interested in any kind of treat or toy UNLESS it's a pill pocket. Pill pockets are the best! I leave shoes alone and don't really go for anything that's just for humans. I have good self-awareness of my size unless I'm ready to sprawl on your lap and make sure you stay put until my required snuggle needs have been met. I'm not sure how I feel about other dogs or cats, but I'm pretty easy going around humans regardless of their age. Since I'm such a big guy I am taking some vitamins for arthritis in one of my legs. My head is huge and I'm excited to meet the human that is ready for me to bury it in their lap. All the time.

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:  Sterling is a big loveable guy! 

His favorite things to do are play with his toys, learning to play fetch and walks.   He also loves to cuddle on the couch to watch tv with us.   Sterling is potty trained, sleeps all night in a kennel with no issues.  Is fairly quiet, only barks at our cat. At this point, he does not do well with our cat, he barks at him and chases him so he may not be good in a home with cats.   He does well with older kids, not sure about little ones.   He doesn’t realize how big he is, but with training, he should be able to control himself more. He has been a quick learner so far.

We have loved having Sterling, he will make a great pet for any family.

History: We welcomed a group recently from a partnering organization of ours, Villalobos Animal Rescue. Zille is a sweet fella who is working hard on his trust and confidence and is hoping to find a patient and quieter environment where he will thrive in!

A Note from the Foster: Zille has come a long way coming out of his shell. Zelle has got along with all the dogs he’s met. No interest in my cat. Also, did well with kids.

Zille is very sweet and loves attention on his terms. He is pretty independent, he’s happy to be near you but also just fine chewing on a dog bone by himself. He’s doing great on potty training. Loves food and treats!

Zille is a gentleman. He has never chewed on anything he shouldn’t. He sleeps on his dog bed but also does well in a crate. He is still learning about the good life and all dog things. 

He is startled easily still and needs reassurance. We are still working on walking a leash, he is still pretty uncomfortable but showing improvement.

If you’re looking for an easy going, low maintenance, sweet boy Zille might be the perfect companion for you.

A Note from the Foster: Zipper is a Bichon breeder release. When I first picked him up, he was very fearful of the world. Each day though, he comes a little bit more out of his shell. In just a week, he has become comfortable in my house, and I can see the typical Bichon-like, happy personality coming through. He is happy whenever he can be with his people (or other dogs) in a safe space. His laid-back personality makes him easy to take care of, and he seems grateful to be in a home environment. He likes playing with my dogs, and is also happy to sleep on the couch. He doesn’t bark much and doesn’t like his crate. He sleeps at night in a dog bed in his own room without any problems. We are working on potty training. He wears a belly band, as he does have problems with marking. He is comfortable going out to go potty in the yard, and hasn't been interested in any walks so far.
