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!

Abner has dermatitis which will need ongoing care. He also has entropion. Currently it is not causing any issues.

A Note from the Foster: So sweet, handsome, funny, chill, easygoing, strong, adaptable- just a few ways to describe Abner. Plus he's old enough that you aren't dealing with all the crazy puppy antics and all of the work that goes into raising a puppy!  Doesn't it sound amazing to be able to welcome a dog into your home that is already crate trained, potty trained, leash trained, and actually listens to the word "no" more often than he doesn't? If all of that sounds amazing, then Abner could be your guy! 

When thinking about what family environment may be the best fit for Abner, it's very hard to come up with any specifics. I think he could flourish in almost any type of home. He loves everyone- very small children to much older adults. When meeting people for the first time, he doesn't respect social boundaries that some people have with dogs (others don't mind his ways) and he may intimidate little ones with his excitement to get to know them up close and personal. Abner is also very quiet in our home, we have rarely heard him bark in the 3 weeks he has been with us. The only times that we have heard him bark is when he has been in a room with other dogs that are playing and since we don't know those dogs, he hasn't been allowed to play with them. He has also wanted to approach another dog since he loves meeting the people and the dogs, but was not allowed to. His response in both of these situations was to bark to show his unhappiness with how unfair it was that we were preventing him from making another friend.  

His foster home is fairly quiet and he lives with 2 other female dogs. I would predict that Abner could handle a little more excitement around the house but he does enjoy being a couch potato. There doesn't seem to be much that bothers him! He has been crated for a full work day when we are gone, keeps his crate clean and has a very wiggly big butt to show us how happy he is when we get home. He is also crated overnight in our bedroom and is quiet all night, in fact I'm sure he'd prefer to sleep in longer than we allow him to! 

If you are familiar with bulldogs, you may realize that they tend to me a little stubborn or bossy at times. We have seen this come out in him in only a couple of instances. One is that he hates the cold and as soon as he does his potty break, he will want to pull you right back to the house, regardless of what your plans really were. Did you want to walk him and another dog around the block? I suggest you let Abner in the house, he will be fine hanging out as you take care of whatever you need to, and is happy to be warm while you are gone.The second instance is that he has wanted to be in charge of where the other 2 dogs in the house get to sit as well as one of the toys. There was a time that he didn't want the other dogs to sit too close to foster mom because it seemed that he preferred to have her to himself. We put boundaries in place to stop this behavior and he is much more willing to share mom now that he knows there is no other option. 

Abner is ready to meet you (trust me, you'll see!) so go ahead and take a chance on him to see if you could be his forever family

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!

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?

Barron is available as a foster to adopt as he completes his heartworm treatment

Age: DOB: 02/2021
Weight: TBA
Dog Friendly: Yes

House Trained: Doing great!

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: Meet Barron — aka Bear 🐻

Barron is a sweet rescue boy with a gentle, easy-going spirit. He’s the kind of dog who doesn’t need to be the center of attention — he’s happiest simply being near his people (and especially his dog friends).

This handsome guy is discovering how fun life can be! He’s learning to love playing with toys, enjoys short walks around the neighborhood, and never says no to a tasty treat. His biggest comfort and confidence booster is the resident dog in his foster home — he absolutely loves having a canine companion and would thrive in a home with another friendly dog to show him the ropes.

Barron is excellent at letting you know when he needs to go outside, but we also let him out on a regular basis to help him as well. He’s starting to open up to snuggles and gentle scratches, and when he leans in for affection, it’s the sweetest reward.

He is neutered, has had some teeth extracted to keep his smile healthy, and has already begun his heartworm treatment — he’s well on his way to feeling his very best.

Because he’s still building trust, Barron can be shy with new people. He tends to feel more comfortable around women at first and is continuing to work on gaining confidence with men. With patience, kindness, and a calm environment, he continues to blossom more each day.

If you’re looking for a loyal, soft-hearted companion who will bond deeply and grow with you, Barron (Bear) is ready to start his next chapter.

History: We received a plea to help a group of male adult dogs from a local hoarding situation. It broke our hearts to see the condition the homeowner and dogs were living in. The dogs were welcomed to a temporary housing situation by a local rescuer when the homeowner was hospitalized. Unfortunately, the homeowner passed away days later. It is a heartbreaking situation and we promise to give these boys fulfilling and loving lives. They are working on their trust and confidence and doing better each day!

A Note from the Foster: Meet Beasley 🐾

Beasley is a gentle, sweet soul with impeccable manners, soft fur, and a heart of gold. Despite coming from a heartbreaking situation, he greets the world with a smile. He keeps his kennel clean and enjoys calmly walking around the house to “survey” his surroundings!

Beasley is wonderful on leash and loves exploring outdoors! He knows where the door is to go outside and patiently waits while you put his leash. He does his business right away on grass or snow and hasn’t had a single accident in the house.

At home, Beasley is a world-class cuddler. He follows his person anywhere they go and, is happiest when he knows someone is close by. Beasley is also starting to show adorable excitement in the mornings—sometimes even popping up on his hind legs in playful anticipation for the day. He is an enthusiastic eater and enjoys all kinds of treats and sniffing out goodies in his snuffle mat!

Beasley is still navigating his environment due to his blindness and occasionally bumps into soft furniture, especially when trying to find his people. He’s learning the layout more each day (think adorable iRobot 😂).

With his easygoing nature and affectionate personality, Beasley would make an amazing companion in a quiet home as a single dog or with adult dogs rather than youngsters. He truly deserves the best—and he’s ready to give his lifetime of love in return. 🩵

On 1/27/26, Beasley was diagnosed by a specialty vet ophthalmologist for retinal atrophy and cataracts. This condition means he has vision impairment (blindness) that was genetically passed down from his parents. Beasley does not experience any pain due his eyes but the doctor recommended that he sees the vet annually for his eye health.

History: Brimsley is a super handsome boy who was returned to rescue due to no fault of his own. He is hoping to find his forever home soon!

A Note from the Foster: Meet your new bestie, Brimsley! This small-but-mighty heartthrob is the total package—smart, playful, and bursting with personality. He already knows “Sit” and “Stay” and glows when he earns praise for a job well done. Brimsley is both potty trained and kennel trained, making him more than ready to settle into his forever home. He thrives on a predictable schedule (morning, late afternoon, and bedtime potty breaks are his sweet spot) and sleeps soundly in his kennel at night or when his people are away—especially if treats are involved.

By day, Brimsley is a delightful mix of zoomies and snuggles. He loves racing around the house, chewing on his favorite toys, chasing tennis balls, splooting dramatically in front of the window, and keeping a watchful eye on the neighborhood critters. But his true specialty? Curling up on the couch or a cozy dog bed for a well-earned nap near his people. With his small stature he isn’t able to jump on/off the couch on his own, so he will respectfully ask to join by pawing our knee and then turning around to present his backside to be picked up.

Daily walks are one of Brimsley’s greatest joys. There are just so many fascinating smells to investigate! His enthusiasm sometimes turns into a little zig-zagging adventure as he follows his nose, so he’d benefit from some continued leash practice. The good news? Those adorable little legs tire out quickly, so it doesn’t take long to satisfy his exercise needs. Because he’s such a petite explorer, he should be supervised in fenced areas to ensure he doesn’t sneak through an opening during a sniffari mission.

Brimsley loves to meet everyone he sees. He’s a true social butterfly who believes every outing is a meet-and-greet opportunity. Big or small, male or female, two-legged or four-legged—if he sees you, he’d love to say hello. He happily greets other friendly dogs on our walks and has done wonderfully with our 34 lb resident pup. Small children who are gentle and respectful of his size are also welcome friends in his book; however, cats and chickens are still a mystery to him. Brimsley would enjoy having a dog sibling to play with, but he’d be just as happy as your one-and-only, soaking up all the love and attention for himself.

Brimsley is a bit of a homebody at heart. While he happily heads out for neighborhood strolls, car rides can make him anxious. He’s been making progress and we have found that riding in a booster seat or on a passenger’s lap (rather than in a kennel) seems to help. With patience, reassurance, and consistency, he continues to grow more confident every day; however, this may be an ongoing sensitivity for him.

Brimsley would thrive with a loving adopter who’s ready to cheer him on, stick to a routine, and appreciate both his playful social butterfly energy and his champion-level cuddles. In return, you’ll gain a loyal, clever, and endlessly entertaining little shadow who will adore you with his whole heart. Could Brimsley be your perfect match?

History: We recently welcomed a group of animals who needed help from various unfortunate situations in rural areas down south. Whether overcrowded shelters or unclaimed impounds, they have a second chance at finding their forever homes and hope to meet you soon!

A Note from the Foster: British is an 80 pound love bug. He is very happy to sit on the couch next to either of us with his head in my lap or just backed up against one of us. He loves to watch out the window during the day. He is a well mannered gentleman who waits to be told "okay" to begin eating and takes treats very gently from our hands. If one of us is already home so that he is out of the kennel he loves to run and greet the other when they get home. He also loves to greet guests. He is working on curbing his enthusiasm for guests, because he is a pretty big guy to smother someone with love. He occasionally jumps up, but is getting better and often "catches himself" in a bounce instead. He sleeps in a kennel at night and will sometimes put himself to bed in the kennel later in the evening. He also goes in the kennel when we are both working away from home.

He knows sit, stay, down, and off indoors, but can sometimes choose not to follow them. Outdoors he is a bundle of energy. He pulls very strongly and we are still working on ways to curb that. He also is very interested in hunting rabbits, and will suddenly lunge if he sees one. When he stayed with a temp foster who had a tall fenced in backyard he joyfully ran and pounced and frolicked in the yard.

A Note from the Foster: Chocolate’s tail never seems to stop wagging, and it’s easy to see why – he’s a big, sweet boy with an even bigger heart. He loves curling up on the couch for movie nights, but don’t let that fool you… he’s also a big fan of long walks in the park, where he happily stops to sniff everything along the way.

Chocolate walks nicely on leash and knows the cue “Wait.” He’s very smart and highly treat-motivated, which makes training both fun and rewarding. He’s currently practicing waiting patiently for dinner and is getting better every day.

This affectionate guy has a serious case of FOMO and prefers to be wherever you are at all times. Cooking? He’s there. Eating? Definitely there. Chocolate never fully gives up on the idea that food might magically fall from the table. Hope springs eternal.

When it’s playtime, Chocolate is all about a good tug-of-war showdown. Fetch is fun too… for a few throws. After that, he figures you’ve probably got better things to do — like petting him.

Chocolate is doing great with another dog in the home and has gracefully accepted that even though he’s bigger, the resident dog is the boss. Above all, Chocolate is a giant bundle of love with a heart as sweet as his name.

So… is there a little sweet Chocolate in your future? 🍫🐾

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 (AKA Kirby) came into rescue as a former breeder dog. He has had to learn an entirely new world and is still learning.  Kirby is a sweet, happy little dog and deserves the best home. He has come a long way and is ready to find his forever home.

Kirby prefers to sleep in his kennel at night and does a great job. He will often nap in his kennel during the day but prefers his door open. I keep his kennel in my bedroom, and he has access to it all the time. As soon as we get up in the morning Kirby really wants to give his person some love before going out to potty. He is always so excited to get up in the morning.

He is a great eater and loves snacks of any kind. When he goes outside prefers his person t to go outside too. During the winter he gets to his business quickly and in the summer he potties and then it is outside play and explore time.

When I leave the house Kirby goes in his kennel. He does have some separation anxiety and sometimes barks when I leave the house and when he hears the car pull into the driveway. He has gotten much better at this and doesn’t continuously bark when I’m gone.

Kirby needs a home with a small/medium size dog that will play with him and will be a good role model. He has come a long way from being a breeder but still needs the support from another dog to show him what being a companion dog is all about. Kirby is potty trained and does best on a schedule so he know when he is going to go out and potty.

Kirby would do best in a quieter home. He will need patience and love, especially in the beginning. His person/family will need to keep boundaries to help Kirby understand that he isn’t the king of the home.

This sweet little gentleman is on the hunt for a life partner—preferably one who enjoys quiet afternoons, soft blankets, and a good cuddle session. He’s smallish in size but huge in heart, with a personality that says, “Let’s just relax.”

He’s not a big fan of kennel life (can you blame him?), but he’s very polite and keeps his space clean. His happy place? Curled up next to you on the couch or stretched out nearby while you work—especially if you’re in a lab or home office where he can keep you company.

He’s getting the hang of leash walks, does well with dogs, cats, and kids, and is working on potty training—expected to improve even more after his upcoming neuter appointment. Mostly, he’s just incredibly sweet, gentle, and easygoing.

If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate companion who will happily snooze by your side and remind you to slow down, this little old soul might be your perfect match. Come meet him and see if he’s the missing piece of your cozy life 🐶❤️

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: We received a plea to help a group of male adult dogs from a local hoarding situation. It broke our hearts to see the condition the homeowner and dogs were living in. The dogs were welcomed to a temporary housing situation by a local rescuer when the homeowner was hospitalized. Unfortunately, the homeowner passed away days later. It is a heartbreaking situation and we promise to give these boys fulfilling and loving lives. They are working on their trust and confidence and doing better each day!

A Note from the Foster: This sweet boy came from a hard past and is learning that people can be kind and safe. Each day, Jeeves’s trust continues to grow, and it’s incredibly rewarding to watch him come out of his shell. He absolutely loves other dogs, enjoys going for walks, and is highly food-motivated, which makes bonding and training easier.

Jeeves has no aggression whatsoever and is a bit timid with people. He’s full of personality—he makes the cutest little whines to communicate, loves to roll around, and has the softest hair you can imagine. When he’s not out exploring or socializing, Jeeves is perfectly content to sleep most of the day, happily recharging for his next adventure.

He does have some marking behavior, but Jeeves is scheduled to be altered, which should help. He currently wears a belly band, and his marking has greatly decreased, showing real progress. Jeeves does not like being kenneled and would do best in a home where he can have freedom, comfort, and patience as he continues to adjust.

With love, consistency, and understanding, Jeeves will make a wonderful companion for someone ready to give him the second chance he deserves. 🐾💙

Milton is available as a foster to adopt

Gender: Male
Breed: Mini Poodle Mix
Age: DOB: 01/2019
Weight: TBA
Dog Friendly: Yes
Cat Friendly: Unknown
Kid Friendly: Older or No Kids Ideal
House Trained: Doing great!

History: We received a plea to help a group of male adult dogs from a local hoarding situation. It broke our hearts to see the condition the homeowner and dogs were living in. The dogs were welcomed to a temporary housing situation by a local rescuer when the homeowner was hospitalized. Unfortunately, the homeowner passed away days later. It is a heartbreaking situation and we promise to give these boys fulfilling and loving lives. They are working on their trust and confidence and doing better each day!

A Note from the Foster: Milton came from an unfortunate situation at a hoarder house where he lived with at least 4 other dogs. He now has a chance at a new life!

Personality: Milton is pretty shy and is still learning that humans are kind. He likes to know what’s going on and will occasionally follow his adult humans around when they’re not looking and check to see what they’re up to. Otherwise he's curled up on one of multiple dog beds. He doesn’t like being cuddled by humans (yet) or being picked up. When he needs to be picked up sometimes he freezes in place and other times he runs away so it’s helpful to have a leash dragging behind him to be able to grab him. He seems like he’s starting to like itchies. He will move his leg out to the side to ask for inner leg itchies and leans into chin itchies. He LOVES being outside in our fenced in backyard sniffing around wagging his tail. Milton will need to be on a leash when he is outside or in a secure fenced in backyard with a drag leash. 

Potty training: Milton is doing great at potty training. He has had only one accident inside when we were too slow taking him outside after being kenneled all night. He wears a belly band just to be safe, however he’s not a fan and will try to pull it off when he thinks no one is watching. 

Toys: Milton isn’t interested in toys yet, but he does like dog chews and gnawing on bones. 

Kennel: He isn’t a fan of his kennel. He kennels intermittently throughout the day and every night overnight. He chewed on the metal bars of his metal kennel, so he has switched to a plastic kennel that he unsuccessfully tries to dig himself out of.  Despite not liking his kennel he’s been vocally quiet in it (besides occasional digging sounds). We give him 4 pieces of kibble every time he kennels and he seems very happy with that basic offering. 

Leash: It doesn’t seem like Milton’s previous owner took him for many walks since he’s pretty new to the concept of a leash. He’s only been on two walks so far. He does some zip zagging and will of course stop you if there’s a good smell. 

Exposure to other dogs: Milton lives with a 3 year old 40 pound poodle. They follow each other around and sometimes nap on the same bed. I would highly recommend that he goes to a home with another confident dog because he is frequently looking to my resident dog for guidance. 

Exposure to kids or cats: none. He would be best in a home with older kids since he doesn’t like being suddenly grabbed.

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.

Tiberius (nicknamed Ty) is just an all-around happy guy with lots of love to give. Because of his large size, he was a bit unruly when he first arrived and didn't have any skills or manners. In order to help make things manageable for his forever family, Tiberius has completed a three-week board & train program where he was working on things like crate training, leash walking, focus on his handler, and general manners. He has come a long way! Now he is ready to find a family that appreciates him for his goofy personality and tendency to be a lap dog!

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.
