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. 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: Barron is a super sweet boy who arrived to rescue in desperate need of a second chance. He is such a handsome and striking boy who is ready to meet his forever home soon!

A Note from the Foster: Take a look at that sweet face—this is Barron! 💙 If he looks a little unsure, that’s because life is still very new to him. Barron came to us as part of a breeder release and is just beginning to understand what it means to feel safe, loved, and cared for in a home.

Barron is a gentle observer who likes to keep track of where everyone is and what’s going on around him. While he’s still warming up to the humans in the house, he has already found comfort and confidence in our resident dog, who is helping show him the ropes and teaching him that people can be pretty wonderful too.

He’s doing a fantastic job with potty training and will let you know when he needs to go outside. We use a belly wrap indoors as an extra precaution while he continues learning. Leash walking is still a work in progress, but Barron is a smart boy and improving every day.

Barron has tested positive for heartworm and will begin treatment in January. He’ll need a patient, supportive home to help him through that process—but in return, you’ll gain a loyal companion with so much love to give.

This good boy is ready to find his furever home, where he can continue to blossom and return your love tenfold. 🐾❤️

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: Churro is a super sweet boy who arrived to rescue in desperate need of a second chance. He is such a handsome and striking boy who is ready to meet his forever home soon!

A Note from the Foster: Churro is just what his name implies — a sweet treat of a pup. If you’re looking for someone to snuggle, he’s your dude!! 

Churro is doing great with his foster family. He adores his foster brother and sister (both English Bulldogs) and he gives them space when they ask for it. He is discovering play and is oh so curious and cute when he chews on a toy. Sometimes he’ll even paw at his foster brother to initiate play. Churro also loves looking at the TV and lying in a heated blankie (he thinks it’s much too cold out right now). And his head tilts are just adorable as ever!

A few things to note with Churro — he is blind in one eye and partially blind in the other. But that doesn’t seem to hinder him at all. He’s smart and quite active. He rubs up against things to feel out where he is. Long flights of stairs, however, will need to be gated.

In terms of potty training, he is learning and seems to learn best by following the lead of his foster brother. However, it likely wouldn’t take long for him to catch on without another dog. 

Churro will be getting neutered and have his teeth removed in January. A soft diet will likely be necessary.

Churro really has an A+ personality and is the goofiest, sweetest, most deserving pup ever. He is SO excited to find a loving forever home where he can snuggle, play and find joy in his later years!!

A Note from the Foster: Cullen is a sweet, happy pup whose tail never stops wagging! He loves attention and will gladly soak up all the pets you have to offer. This friendly guy gets along well with other dogs and enjoys being part of the pack.

Cullen is working on his house training and doing great when given regular potty breaks.

When he arrived at rescue, we discovered he only has four teeth—but don’t worry, that doesn’t slow him down! He eats just fine and is ready to enjoy all the tasty treats life has to offer.

If you’re looking for a loving companion with a big heart and an even bigger smile, Cullen is your guy!

Note: Cullen is scheduled to be neutered on January 7th and is eligible for our foster to adopt option.

History: Darwin is a super sweet boy who arrived to rescue in desperate need of a second chance. He is such a handsome and striking boy who is ready to meet his forever home soon!

A Note from the Foster: Darwin is a gentle, old-soul dog with a naturally sweet disposition and quiet charm. He has a polite way of approaching people that makes it hard not to fall for him, especially once he feels comfortable in his surroundings. When settled into a loving home, he shows pockets of playfulness and enjoys calm companionship with his people.

Darwin is sensitive to change and can be fearful in new environments. Sudden loud noises or unexpected objects may cause him to retreat and shake, though reassuring pets and a calm presence help him regulate. He is currently comfortable in his foster home but will need a patient adopter who understands that confidence comes slowly for him.

Darwin also has Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca (dry eye), a manageable condition that requires daily eye medications to keep him comfortable and protect his vision. With proper care, he does well.

Darwin is best suited for a quiet, predictable home with compassionate adopters who value patience, routine, and a strong human-dog bond. In return, he offers steady affection, loyalty, and the kind of presence that quietly fills a room. He is working on potty training, and while he may be an older dog, he is proving that he is capable of learning "new tricks" with consistency and encouragement.

History: Fynn is a super sweet boy who arrived to rescue in desperate need of a second chance. He is such a handsome and striking boy who is ready to meet his forever home soon!

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!

History: Leif FKA Blue Skidoo is a handsome boy who was recently returned to rescue due to having anxiety when left alone. He has been settling back into his original foster home who cared for him diligently through his treatment of leptospirosis. He is a good boy who will thrive in a home who understands the heeler breed!

A Note from the Foster: Leif had a rough start to his life. During his neuter surgery when he was in rescue last year, it was discovered that he had a healed fracture and bullet fragments in his front leg from an old (pre-rescue) gunshot injury. And then, only a few weeks later, he ended up in intensive care and nearly died from an acute leptospirosis infection. After a month in quarantine, he received the all-clear and was able to come home.

A few weeks later, he was adopted by a family who already had another heeler. But, as heelers are known to do, Leif would get bored and he became very naughty while his family was at work. Unfortunately, that usually resulted in Leif chewing up his family's possessions. Their other dog would not tolerate seeing his brother in a kennel, and the family was worried that he would choke or ingest something dangerous. So they made the difficult decision to return Leif to rescue for his own safety.

Leif is actually an extremely easy-going guy. As heelers go, he is a fairly low-energy dog. However, the blessing and the curse is that he is extremely smart, and he needs exercise for his brain. He would do super well with a family who is willing to give him an outlet for his intelligence. I could see him doing very well in obedience or agility training. He is fairly overweight right now, so anything that gets him moving would be good for him!

Leif is fully kennel trained. He goes in very willingly and stays quiet, calm, and clean all night. He loves to be around his people. If you even think about petting him, he can somehow sense it and will immediately show his belly for rubs! While he’s been home with me, he hasn’t even so much as thought about chewing anything up that he shouldn’t. When he gets bored, he has been very good about seeking out an acceptable chew toy. He walks well on a leash (althought he loves to pee at least 20 times on a walk which can get a bit tedious lol). He doesn’t pay any attention to my cats. If anything, he is overly respectful of their boundaries. If they hiss, he keeps his distance. He loves to play with other dogs, but he accepts that our elderly resident dog doesn’t like to play. He hasn’t been around very small children, but nothing about this pup would lead me to believe there would be any problems. He loves my tween kids and their friends.

This dog is the full package: sweet, smart, intelligent, affectionate, and handsome. He is waiting for the right family to scoop him up so he can show everyone what a good boy he is!

History: Limo is a super sweet boy who arrived to rescue in desperate need of a second chance. He is such a handsome and striking boy who is ready to meet his forever home soon!

A Note from the Foster: Hi! I’m Limo, a sweet little dachshund with a big heart and an even bigger love for squeaky toys. I’m still learning the world, so carrying a toy around helps me feel confident — and it’s really cute, I’ve been told.

I’m learning that humans are safe and cuddles are good. I get a little nervous with being picked up or petted, so I prefer if you move slowly with me and give me time to trust. But I will take treats right from your hand, sit with you on the couch, and I’m very food-motivated — which means training with me can be both fun and rewarding.

I have a low-key energy level and relax a lot of the time. I can keep up on walks with my doggy foster brother, but afterward I’m ready to nap and recharge. Most of the time you’ll find me curled up on the couch or in a dog bed, as long as I’m close to someone. I really love being near my people and doggy friends; I’d prefer a home where someone is around a good amount because being alone can feel a little scary for me right now.

I keep my crate clean and dry and sleep in there at night (even though, in typical dachshund fashion, I think crates are kinda silly sometimes). I go potty outside most of the time and my foster mama says I’m super smart and will catch onto full potty training quickly with patience and routine. On walks, I was unsure about the leash at first, but I’m getting better every day when following another dog’s lead. Having another dog around makes me brave, so I would love a home with a friendly dog buddy to show me the ropes.

Overall, I’m hoping for a patient family, a calm home, and maybe a confident pup friend to help me continue learning. As a typical doxie, I have a little voice and may alert bark here and there, but nothing too crazy.

I’m a gentle soul, learning more every day, and hoping to find a family that sees the magic in a dog who’s still discovering the world. If you’ve got a loving home, a soft voice, and maybe a dog friend to guide me… I think we could be something really special.

Love, Limo 🐾

History: Miata is a super sweet boy who arrived to rescue in desperate need of a second chance. He is such a handsome and striking boy who is ready to meet his forever home soon!

A Note from the Foster: Miata is a 6-year-old Dachshund with the gentlest soul. Calm, low-energy, and incredibly sweet, he’s just beginning to discover how amazing it feels to be truly loved—and he’s embracing it with his whole heart.

Miata’s favorite things in the world are cuddling, a soft blanket, and being close to his person. That’s really all he needs to be happy. He’s not demanding or high-energy; instead, he’s the perfect companion for cozy days, quiet evenings, and warm snuggles on the couch.

He does wonderfully with other dogs and is good with kids, making him an easy fit for many types of homes. Miata would thrive in a loving environment where he can continue to build confidence and soak up the affection he’s been waiting for.

If you’re looking for a loyal little shadow who will happily curl up beside you and remind you how special the simple things are, Miata might just be your perfect match. 🐶💕

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: Phoenix was welcomed to rescue from the 2025 OOTC rescue effort in November. It was very clear that he has been through a lot, and needed lots of love and care. Pheonix was battling a lot, he had a terrible skin infection, mange, scars covering his body, had a large open wound on his paw, and his teeth were ground down from chewing on something very hard or sharp for long periods of time. Through all of it, Pheonix is such a kind and sweet soul. Fast forward to today, he is doing a lot better, we are still working on healing his skin, which will take some time. He is getting medicated baths and on medication to help, he has already made a lot of improvement! He recently got neutered and had his dental surgery where they had to remove some of his worn down teeth, but so far that has not phased him at all. 

Pheonix has been such a joy to have at home and very easy to have around. I do feel like some of his spirit is still healing from the trauma he has been through but he has been slowly releasing more and more of his personality as he has been settling in and feeling better physically too. He is potty trained and does all his potty business outside. He does well in his kennel and happily sleeps in there. Currently the things phoenix enjoys the most include sleeping and eating haha! He is always snoozing on a cozy bed or up on the couch cuddled in with me. He is very food motivated and love when it is meal time or treat time. So far Phoenix has not shown much interest in toys yet, but hopefully that will come with time. 

Phoenix's interactions with other dogs is something we are taking very slow, it was reported that he was rescued from an environment that other dogs had been picking on him and he is covered in scars to prove it. So far, Phoenix does well with my smaller dogs, a cavalier king Charles and a Pomeranian. He mostly ignores them and they in turn do not pay much attention to Phoenix also. I have noticed that the bigger dogs do make phoenix uncomfortable when they try to approach him but he has been okay with them around, so I have not introduced him to them yet and they stay at a distance for now until phoenix is ready.

Phoenix all around has been a very easy dog to care for, he gives the best snuggles and really melts in to you. I can tell how grateful he is to be here, in a safe, warm and cozy environment. He would be such an amazing companion and it just feels that he is someone's soul dog.

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: Rambo is doing GREAT! His favorite things recently have been romping around in the snow, playing tug, and making new friends. He’s still picky about his canine friends — he has successfully made a couple canine friends, but going slow on the intros is a must, and he seems to do better with calmer dogs. He’s done great meeting family over the holidays, including grandparents and older-kid cousins.

He has been learning “leave it,” “off,” and “wait”, sits for his feet to be wiped off after being out in the snow, and is generally very well-mannered. He likes to give hugs and does so gently when he does, but we have been working on tempering his hug-giving enthusiasm since not everybody likes them.

He still is very happy to kennel at night or during the day whenever he will be unsupervised. He loves car rides and jumps right in when the door opens! He’s always ready for an adventure to wherever his people might go :)

He’s a big cuddler and loves any attention whether it be belly rubs, head scratches, playing, or just having his paw held!

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! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!

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: 🧡 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: Introducing funny, lovable, 4 1/2 year-old Sam. Sam weighs in at 58 pounds. I brought him into my home and he has been the easiest foster I’ve ever had. He is housebroken, knows sit and down. He gets along great with my German shepherd. 

When you arrive home, he will sing and dance for you telling you that he loves you and so very glad you’re home. He has a wonderful hound type bark/purr, he will definitely put a smile on your face.

He entertains himself with his stuffed toys, tossing them in the air and catching them. Walks nice on a leash. I can’t say anything negative about Sam. He’s a sweet/great dog. Sam would make a great addition to anybody’s family.

A Note from the Foster: Todd is an amazing pocket rocket! He is loving,  very energetic, very food/treat motivated, smart, goes into his kennel like a champ to sleep and to take breaks from the everyday hustle and bustle of daily life. He loves people and laps at naptime. He has energy for days and his tail never stops wagging. He doesn't mind cats or dogs. He is a little protective of toys and food and needs some management when he has something he should not have (trade vs take).  He is extremely smart and is learning so much in his foster home.  He picks up new commands very quickly.  He would love to do all sorts of training.  He is a lovely dog and good companion for anyone….individual, couple, or family with mature kids.

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.

History: Zipper is a super sweet boy who arrived to rescue in desperate need of a second chance. He is such a handsome and striking boy who is ready to meet his forever home soon!

A Note from the Foster: Zipper is a 15-pound, Bichon breeder release. He has had a challenging start at life, including a recent case of kennel cough and a double ear infection (he has recovered from both), but you can’t tell based on his sweet personality. 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. 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 is learning how to play with other dogs, and likes to follow them around. I’ve included a few pics of him with Coco’s Heart alum, Buddy, who he adores. He is also happy to sleep on the couch or on his dog bed. He doesn’t bark much, but is nervous in his crate. We are working on potty training. He wears a belly band, as he does have problems with marking. This should improve after he gets neutered. He is comfortable going out to go potty in the yard and has been very slowly interested in exploring the world outside.
