History: I am Gracie’s puppy!

We received a plea to help a deserving momma dog and her adorable litter of puppies. They arrived to rescue and immediately became volunteer favorites when Momma Gracie rolled right over on her back for belly rubs. They are an incredibly sweet and loving family who are each hoping to find their forever homes soon!

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!

Arden is a beautiful little girl who arrived to rescue and SURPRISE, was expecting a litter of pups. She has been a wonderful momma dog and now her and her puppies are officially ready to begin accepting adoption interest!

A Note from the Foster: Brave, bold, Baobab is looking for his forever family! Baobab is the softest, fluffiest, funniest little guy on paws! He is always the first to try new toys, whether they're for chewing, for chasing, or holding.  He is happiest when he is out in front exploring his world.  Baobab would love a home where he can be part of the action!  He loves his 80-pound mastiff foster sister and is fascinated by his foster cats.  Like all puppies,  Baobab will need training to be his best self, but since he's such a curious soul, going to obedience classes with him is sure to be fun!

History: We recently welcomed a group of deserving dogs who needed help from overcrowded rural shelters in Texas. They are settling into their foster homes and doing well as they start their journey in finding their forever home soon!

This litter of 3, the puppies to sweet Ladybug, arrived to rescue and shortly after broke with parvovirus. They are brave and strong little pups who powered through and are doing amazing now. They are ready to meet you!

A Note from the Foster: Hello, hello everybody! I am a little shy but I am so happy to meet you!! My foster momma calls me Lucky even though my posted name is Beetle; she must think I am a pretty lucky pup to call me that! 

I traveled up to Coco’s Heart with my 2 brothers and my momma (Ladybug) from WAY down south, this place called Texas. A lady that works along the border down there kept seeing my mom and giving her food, then one day she showed up with me and my brother and she just knew she needed to get us help. This wonderful lady saved us and got us to a rescue in Texas that connected with Coco’s Heart to help get us here! Pretty awesome right! After arriving my foster momma scooped up my brothers and me, and momma got to go relax without us at another foster home since we didn’t need her anymore. 

It did not take our foster momma long to realize that she had some pretty smart puppies on her hands! She also noticed something else, we may not have been feeling quite as well as other puppies she had fostered in the past. This was brought to the vet staff's attention and they made sure to check us out so we could be on the mend right away! Now that we are feeling ALL better we are all ready to go be puppies and sniff out our furever homes!! 

Anyways, back to all of the things I am amazing at! 

Meal Time: I learned very quickly that “are you hungry” means, I GET TO EAT! And I run to my kennel and wait oh so patiently to be fed! 

Play Time: I enjoy rough housing with my brothers and the other resident dogs in the house; but I also like to self entertain myself with all the toys and chews too. My foster momma refers to me as the “independent one,” as I am usually the brother off doing my own thing while the other two are off goofing around 

Potty Training: I knew right away to use the potty pads in my play area and not go all over the house; also that if foster momma says “want to go potty outside” it means WE ARE HEADED OUTSIDE YIPPY!!!!

Going on walks: Walking on a lead is a work in progress for me, that leash can be pretty scary sometimes, but I am getting there with a lot of encouragement and treats! 

Crate training: I don’t mind sleeping in my crate, truly easy peasy. Although a big comfy dog bed is nice too. She might call me the independent one but I like to snuggle as much as the others do. I go up to her chair and give her my cutest eyes and then paw at her to pick me up, works every time!

There sure is a lot I still have to learn about this big world. Think you could be my companion along the way? Maybe I could be your lucky charm? 

I really hope that you will want to come and meet me! I plan to attend lots of events this upcoming month, hope to see you there! I will be the handsome fella in black 🖤

A Note from the Foster: If you want a quiet, layed back, mellow little puppy, keep looking.

Cub, aka Cubbie, is loud, personality plus, mischievous, and 100 miles per hour of pure fun!

He's the sweetest and cutest little guy that loves all people, dogs, toys, and any kind of food you put in front of him.

Cubby loves to run and play out in his fenced yard with his friends. He's fearless, except when it comes to the vacuum cleaner. 

He sleeps in his kennel at night, but isn't overly fond of it. Unfortunately,  he still doesn't keep it clean. He does potty every time you take him outside, but he also goes potty inside on the potty pad. He hasn't figured out yet to only go outside.

If you would like to meet this little ball of fluff, please put in an application. He is totally worth it!❣️

History: Meet Gabe, a lovable 6-month-old shepherd mix who is ready to find his forever home! This affectionate pup has a great personality and is eager to learn, making him an excellent companion for any family. Gabe gets along wonderfully with other dogs, bringing a playful and social spirit to his interactions. While he is not yet accustomed to cats, his friendly demeanor suggests he could adapt with the right introductions.

Gabe has been under the care of the University of Minnesota’s internal medicine team for recurrent urinary tract infections. Despite thorough examinations and a CT scan, the cause remains idiopathic (unknown). As a result, a cystoscopy (visualization inside the bladder & urethra), has been recommended as the potential next step. 

Gabe's loving nature and willingness to learn make him a perfect candidate for a family that can provide him with the attention and care he needs. If you're looking for a loyal companion, Gabe could be the perfect addition to your home. Come meet him today and see if he’s the right fit for you!

A Note from the Foster: Gabe is a 16-week-old Shepherd-Chow mix and an absolute gem of a puppy. With his kind heart, soft curiosity, and easygoing personality, he’s the kind of dog that feels like he’s always been part of the family.

Agile and adaptable, Gabe goes with the flow—whether it's cuddling on the couch, daily walks or playing with the kids and our resident dog. He’s growing up in a busy foster home with two kids, two adults, and a furry sibling -  he's thriving with the rhythm of family life.  Gabe has the ears and coloring of a Chow with coat and body of a Shepherd.

Gabe is good with other dogs, loves when family friends and neighborhood kids visit.  He is open to new experiences—stairs, playing, bath, cuddles. While not the bravest boy just yet, his sweet curiosity and calm demeanor make him easy to redirect and a joy to guide.

✨ What makes Gabe special?
– Sleeps well in his kennel
– Doing great with potty training (just stick to a schedule!)
– Low-maintenance, well-balanced energy
– Equally happy being in the mix or quietly hanging out nearby
– Loves daily walks, family time, and being part of the action—but never demands the spotlight

Gabe has the makings of a once-in-a-lifetime dog—and just needs the right people to keep helping him grow!

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 recently welcomed Gidget and her sister, Moonie to rescue from a local (ish) shelter who reached out in hopes we can welcome them to Coco’s Heart and help them with their confidence as they both arrived a bit shy. They have been doing well in rescue and are coming out of their shells by the day!

A Note from the Foster: Hello from Gidget aka Big Boy!  He’s a beautiful lab mix who’s learning what it is to have a life in a house.  So far, he’ll signal with a little howl that he needs to go outside to potty.  He is quiet as a mouse in his kennel when I go on errands and prefers to sleep in it at night.  Ask him to “go in” and he enters his kennel like a champ.  He has met several different little dogs which he prefers to play with over our 3 year old Staffy.  He easily accommodates to the day’s activities and is more of a strong but silent type of fella.  He has been a joy to have around our household!

A Note from the Foster: Meet Gill. He is the happiest maltese puppy ever, the tail wags are constant!

He is very good at entertaining himself and hasn’t met a toy he doesn’t like! He also likes to snuggle and give kisses. He was very quick with learning potty training and will go in his kennel on command, where he sleeps quietly all night. He is very treat motivated and I am sure will learn any other commands very quickly.

He is missing the pads on one of his back paws, this doesn’t slow him down though. He gets along great with all people and dogs that he has met, not a mean bone in his body. Any family would be very lucky to have him!

History: I am Luna’s puppy and was born in rescue!

Momma Luna is a beautiful scruffy gal who arrived to rescue from the streets of Mexico and was expecting a litter of puppies. Luna has been a wonderful momma and her puppies are officially ready to start accepting adoption interest!

A Note from the Foster: Jamie is the sweetest, spunky little guy. He loves to play with toys, take snuggly naps, and wrestle with our resident dog. His sweet puppy kisses and exuberance for life makes us laugh daily.

He plays very well with our 65 lb resident dog and happily plays tug, shares chew toys, and LOVES to wrestle. While curious about our cat, he keeps his excitement at a respectful distance. 

He’s doing very well with potty training and quickly learned to go pee when we tell him to go potty, and poop when we tell him to go poop. And then happy runs over for his treat! He has not once made a mess in his kennel. Our resident dog is bell trained and he’s picked up the queues from her and has started ringing the bells when he wants to go outside. 

He cries a bit when put in his kennel during the day (he prefers napping snuggled up on the couch) but quiets down within a few minutes and falls asleep. He falls asleep in his kennel quickly at night and sleeps a solid 6-7 hours without making a peep. 

He would do so well in a home with other fur siblings, and while he hasn’t had experience with kids, I’m sure he would be incredible and would love to play and give kisses. 

Jamie is such a happy, fun puppy, and would be such an anmazing addition to any family!

A Note from the Foster: What can I tell you about Jeff? He is the best puppy! He loves to snuggle. He loves to be near you. He has done well with the other dogs in my home. He is still getting used to my cat. He just sits there and barks at him, but otherwise leaves him alone. He has the cutest underbite and these long gangly legs. He almost looks majestic when he runs. He has an interesting texture to his hair, but the best part is that he does not shed! When I get home from work he is so excited to see you and showers you with love. He is a very special boy with a great personality! We are working on crate training and potty training, but he is treat motivated so I know he will have no problems mastering them soon!

History: Keenan and Kal are two super adorable kiddos reported to be a Boston Terrier/Aussie mix (who knows but we do know they are super sweet boys!) They are each hoping to find a forever family of their very own soon!

A Note from the Foster:Foster: So, Keenan, tell me a little bit about yourself. What are your favorite toys? Favorite treats? Favorite activities?

Keenan: It’s like this, foster mom. I really like chewing on things so you just keep giving me bully sticks, plush toys and puppy pads and I’ll take care of destroying them. I like turkey tendons, too, and if you wanted to, I’d be more than happy to flash these adorable puppy eyes your way for a human snack or two. I know I can be hard to resist.

Foster: What do you do for fun?

Keenan: I mean, the world’s a pretty big place, right? And the smells? Oh man, there are just so many I can hardly keep still! Going outside is my favorite thing to do and boy do I like exploring. Nothing much really scares me, either. I can prance upstairs like nobody’s business and have mastered the “going downstairs” part, too. I don’t even mind the rain!

Foster: What about potty training. How’s that going?

Keenan: I’m learning, I really am! I can keep my kennel clean in the night but not past 6 hours or so. And, sometimes that door to the outside is soooo far away it’s just easier to pick a spot inside and go. I like that you use the bell on the door, so let’s keep that up. I know going potty outside makes you happy and I do want to make you happy.

Foster: What else do you want us to know about you, Keenan?

Keenan: I gotta say, I’m more on the independent and stubborn side. I think that’s the Boston Terrier in me. But I’m ok with who I am! If you want me, you gotta be firm and have a little patience! Otherwise, I might “alpha dog” you all the way into next Tuesday. I do so love my humans, though!

Foster: Ok, well thanks for taking the time to share a bit about yourself, my canine friend. I hope you find your perfect forever home!

History: I am Luna’s puppy and was born in rescue!

Momma Luna is a beautiful scruffy gal who arrived to rescue from the streets of Mexico and was expecting a litter of puppies. Luna has been a wonderful momma and her puppies are officially ready to start accepting adoption interest!

A Note from the Foster: Leslie is one of Luna's puppies.  Luna is a 25-pound terrier mix that was rescued from Mexico where she was a street dog.  Her puppies, born 3-8-25, have been loved and nurtured from moment one.  Luna has been a compassionate and attentive mama.  Because of her kind and thoughtful approach, her puppies are well adjusted and thriving.

Leslie has a smooth, black coat unlike his mama.  That said, it is not uncommon for this trait to develop over time.  I anticipate he will be a medium-sized dog knowing his mama is on the small size.  We have no information on his dad.  His final appearance will be a bit of a mystery.  How exciting!  

Leslie is calm, regal and loves attention.  He is anxiously waiting his forever family who can help him further develop into a wonderful dog.

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: Hi, I’m Mac—but my foster family calls me Bear because I’m basically a real-life teddy bear! 🐻

I’m a sweet, gentle boy who loves giving kisses, going for walks, playing with my humans, and snuggling up with a cozy blanket. I’ve been doing great in social settings and am really trying to step out of my comfort zone! I get along well with kids, cats, and other dogs. I prefer slow introductions so I can get to know everyone at my own pace—and once I do, I’m all happy tail!

I’m potty trained and will let you know when I need to go outside by walking to the door and giving you the look. I also keep a clean kennel and sleep soundly through the night with my blanket.

Leash training is going great—I’m learning to walk without reacting to distractions like passing dogs or kids running around. I’m also doing well with bath time, especially if there are treats involved.

I’ve started learning new ways to play—fetch is starting to make sense! And while I’ve got that fun puppy energy, don’t be fooled—I know how to chill. When it’s TV time, I’m more than happy to curl up and relax right beside you.

I can’t wait to meet my forever family and give them all the love (and puppy kisses) they deserve.

History: We recently welcomed a group of deserving dogs who needed help from overcrowded rural shelters in Texas. They are settling into their foster homes and doing well as they start their journey in finding their forever home soon!

This litter of 3, the puppies to sweet Ladybug, arrived to rescue and shortly after broke with parvovirus. They are brave and strong little pups who powered through and are doing amazing now. They are ready to meet you!

A Note from the Foster: Well, Howdy everybody! Good to see y’all today, they call me Tex, although my posted name is Monarch! Sure looks different ‘round these parts!

I traveled up to Coco’s Heart with my 2 brothers and my momma (Ladybug) from WAY down south, this place called Texas. A lady that works along the border down there kept seeing my mom and giving her food, then one day she showed up with me and my brother and she just knew she needed to get us help. This wonderful lady saved us and got us to a rescue in Texas that connected with Coco’s Heart to help get us here! Pretty awesome right! After arriving my foster momma scooped up my brothers and me, and momma got to go relax without us at another foster home since we didn’t need her anymore. 

It did not take our foster momma long to realize that she had some pretty smart puppies on her hands! She also noticed something else, we may not have been feeling quite as well as other puppies she had fostered in the past. This was brought to the vet staff's attention and they made sure to check us out so we could be on the mend right away! Now that we are feeling ALL better we are all ready to go be puppies and sniff out our furever homes!! 

Anyways, back to all of the things I am amazing at! 

Meal Time: I learned very quickly that “are you hungry” means, I GET TO EAT! And I run to my kennel and wait oh so patiently to be fed! 

Play Time: I enjoy rough housing with my brothers and the other resident dogs in the house; but I also like to self entertain myself with all the toys and chews too

Potty Training: I knew right away to use the potty pads in my play area and not go all over the house; also that if foster momma says “want to go potty outside” it means WE ARE HEADED OUTSIDE YIPPY!!!!

Going on walks: Walking on a lead is a work in progress for me, but I am getting there with a lot of encouragement and treats!

Crate training: I don’t mind sleeping in my crate but I would much rather be out lounging on a big ole dog bed. I like snuggles A LOT, especially when I get to snuggle up on my back and get belly scratches! Sometimes I fall asleep on my back and start snoring. 

I still have SO much to learn about this big world….. But one thing my foster momma has really noticed that I just love is sitting outside watching nature. She has caught me a few times just sitting there enjoying the scenery. 

I really hope that you will want to come and meet me! I plan to attend lots of events this upcoming month, hope to see you there! I will be the handsome fella in black 🖤

I love other dogs and enjoy running around the yard chasing after my foster brothers and wrestling with them any chance I get.

I'm just a puppy so I'm still working on potty training, but I like to think I'm getting the hang of it. Sometimes I get a little nervous about new things but with a little encouragement I can be brave. I absolutely love food, so I try to be the best boy and get lots of yummy treats.

A Note from the Foster: Otto is such a playful puppy! He loves toys and bones to chew on. He’s picking was chewing on everything but he’s learned quickly what he can chew and what he cant. 

He’s picking up on potty training, he’s learning from the other dogs we have. A routine has been very helpful. He does great with other dogs, big and small, also kids. He’s doing well on a leash and likes walks as long as he’s following his “friends” (our dogs). 

He keeps his kennel clean, doesn’t like to be in his kennel and will let you know it but he settles down soon after. He voluntarily goes in with the promise of a treat. He’s very food motivated and is learning sit. He may like food a little too much as we are still working on “waiting our turn” for the treat. 

He comes to me when he wants pets and belly rubs, He’s starting to want to cuddle when sitting on the couch also! He’ll make a good companion.

A Note from the Foster: Welcome Parfait!! (I call him Reggie in my care)

Parfait is a young Bichon that came to rescue timid and shy 

In the 2 weeks he's been with us he’s started to come out of his shell. He now has started to interact with my resident dog and completely has no interest in the old cat that lives here.

Has now started to interact with my grandkids 9&5 with slow introductions petting and following them in the yard. 

Not a big fan of his crate but will bark for a bit and settle in has kept it clean just a couple accidents to start out.  He actually slept out of his crate for the first time and did great had to have 1 break outside at night. No puppy pads for Parfait we head out to the yard and he does his business you have to watch for for his signals he has to go which include running around back and forth to the door.  He’s a Velcro and loves his foster freedom!

History: Rio 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: We have had this sweet boy for a little over a week and he is learning by leaps and bounds each day.  The first few days, he was quite scared and unsure of everything.  It's amazing what a week of TLC can do. 

He is settling in and acclimating well.  He is doing a wonderful job in his crate. We have it in our bedroom (move it to the main floor during the day) and he is quiet all night for a good 8+ hours.  He has been keeping his crate clean and dry.  Rio is still learning how to let us know when he needs to go out so we are bringing him out every hour or so while he is out of his crate and he quickly does his job outside.  He is curious about everything and learning to navigate the ins and outs of living in a home. 

We have a 10 year old lab and he has done very well with him.  He has a lot of energy when it comes to play time.  Loves to play catch a tiny tennis ball in the yard and loves to run laps in circles.  He can also be the cuddliest boy. It's been so much to watch him grow in this short amount of time.  I can only imagine what is to come of this sweet guy!

History: I am Luna’s puppy and was born in rescue!

Momma Luna is a beautiful scruffy gal who arrived to rescue from the streets of Mexico and was expecting a litter of puppies. Luna has been a wonderful momma and her puppies are officially ready to start accepting adoption interest!

A Note from the Foster: Roy is one of Luna's puppies.  Luna is a 25-pound terrier mix that was rescued from Mexico where she was a street dog.  Her puppies, born 3-8-25, have been loved and nurtured from moment one.  Luna has been a compassionate and attentive mama.  Because of her kind and thoughtful approach, her puppies are well adjusted and thriving.

Roy is the smallest of the male puppies and has a smooth, black coat unlike his mama.  That said, it is not uncommon for this trait to develop over time.  I anticipate he will be a medium-sized dog knowing his mama is on the small size.  We have no information on his dad.  His final appearance will be a bit of a mystery.  How exciting!  

Roy is calm, and loves attention.  He is the snuggle bunny of the group!  He is anxiously waiting his forever family who can help him further develop into a wonderful dog.

History: Rudy 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 . They have all healed and ready to find their forever homes!

A Note from the Foster: Rudy is an eye grabbing white pup with the biggest heart and the sweetest temperament. He was a little nervous when he originally came to our home; his human foster siblings (3 & 6 y.o) are loud, unpredictable and move erratically. However, in 2 days, he accepted them and now loves them dearly. He’d sleep in their bed if his foster mom allowed it. Rudy also enjoys playing with other dogs. There are currently 2 large dogs in his home that he enjoys wrestling with. Rudy is medium to lower energy; so, he gets enough exercise playing in his fenced yard and taking short strolls around the neighborhood.

Rudy is potty trained, and keeps his kennel clean all night long. However, he has submissive pee’d a few times - when nervous (at vet) or when startled (when mom was grabbing him in attempt to clip his nails); maybe she should leave that to the professionals. 😉 As he is still a puppy, it is likely he will outgrow this. Speaking of growing, Rudy’s large size (~47 lbs and growing), makes his mom feel extra secure when taking evening walks. All in all, Rudy is a sweet and handsome boy who needs someone to give him a chance. He’ll capture the hearts of his new family as he did with his foster family.

History: Rusty was recently surrendered to rescue and is doing well in his foster home. He is a big boy with big ole feet so we do anticipate him being a large dog fully grown.

A Note from the Foster: Hello to my future family! I am looking for a family that can cuddle with me as I love to take long naps, sleep in and lay on people's laps. I'm still getting used to new sights and sounds and am interested in everything going on around me!

I've learned to go upstairs but haven't figured out how to go down them yet. Still working on my potty training but I'll get there soon! I love going in my crate at night but not so much during the day when my foster family leaves. I'm very comfortable being around kids, strangers and am still getting used to being around other dogs. Walking on a leash is still something very new to me so will need more consistency and practice in this area. This little fluff ball will absolutely steal your heart.

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 welcomed a litter of 5 Keeshond pups to rescue after they were being discarded by a commercial breeding program. They were timid at first and unsure of that around them however have been settling into their foster homes and thriving! They are SO sweet and each hoping to find a forever home of their own soon!

A Note from the Foster: “LET’S GET READY TO RUMMMBBBLLEEE” 

In this corner… weighing in at a mere several pounds of fluff… it’s SHELDON THE KEESHOND. 

Step into the ring and meet your future tag-team partner - Sheldon, the pint-sized powerhouse who’s ready to wrestle his way right into your heart. This little Keeshond pup may be new to the game at such a young age, but don’t let that fool you - he’s got champion energy, high-flying cuteness, and a bark that says “I came to play!”

Sheldon’s signature moves include: 

💫 The Fluff Slam (aka zoomies) 

💥 The Puppy Pad Piledriver (a few circles then BAM - perfect landing on the puppy pad like a seasoned pro. Crowd goes wild 🎉) 

😍 The Puppy Eyes of Doom (no one escapes this finisher) 

Sheldon is quick on his paws, dangerously cute, and learning the ropes like a future Hall-of-Famer. Due to Sheldon’s age and breed, he is likely to do well with other dogs, fans of all ages, and would thrive in any home that cheers him on with love, treats, and belly rubs. 

So, if you’re looking to add a four-legged legend to your roster, don’t miss out on Sheldon “The Fur-nado”. He’s ready to tag in and take home the championship belt in your heart 🏆 🐾  This pup is main event material… don’t pass him up! 🎬 🐶 

Keeshonds or “Keeshonden” , pronounced KAYZ-hawnd, are known for their loyalty and friendliness, originally bred to be watch dogs for the Dutch. They are a breed that reportedly often does well with children and other animals. Keeshonds have historically excelled in obedience and agility. They do require weekly brushing to maintain their coat and grow to a size of around 35 - 45 lbs.

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:We welcomed Topher as a Temporary Foster for 9 days in May when his Foster Mom had surgery.  What a gorgeous pup!

Topher easily adapted to our home and the company of our Labradoodle.

When he meets new people he gets very excited and jumps and licks, but he responds well to "off" and settles down pretty quickly.

Topher loved to run and play with our neighbor dog in their fenced yard.  He is very curious and got along beautifully with their small terrier. 

Topher is a happy dog!  He showed no reaction or aggression towards our neighbor's dog, our other foster dog, or our 10 year old Labradoodle. He is so much fun!

Topher had his neuter surgery completed on 5/23/25 and has recovered well.  

He loves to lounge on the grass out in the morning sunshine.

He is full of energy first thing in the morning, but he quickly calms with a nice chew toy to entertain him. Topher is a total snugglebug and will love lounging with you to watch a movie.  He does quite well on the leash walking with our Labradoodle.  He is such a handsome guy with a soft, shiny coat.  He has a strong, athletic frame and big paws. 

We do not have small children, so I cannot give information on that.

I think Topher will bring joy to all your family members playing, snuggling, and being a great outdoor companion.  We had a great time fostering Topher!

Topher is now with a loving foster family who will foster him until he meets his forever family.

A Note from the Foster: Hi, I’m Troy and I recently arrived from Texas to my foster home.  I’m all ears and can’t wait to hear my forever family calling my name! There is a dog here that is now my best friend and we love to snuggle in the sunshine!  She doesn’t even mind when I steal her bed.  

I’m working on potty training as I’m new to the family life; but my foster family says I’m doing great and will have the hang of it in no time. I love to play and flop to the ground for belly rubs.  You can almost tell what I’m thinking by my ears and facial expressions. My foster family says I’m quite the character.  

I love cuddles with my humans and meeting new people.  I have the best two boys in my foster family who give me tons of love and I enjoy spending time with them.  I’m working on crate training as I don’t like to be alone; but I’m getting better. I have never been around a cat but I’m sure I’ll be fine with them since I’m so young. 

Can’t wait to find my forever family and give them all my love, cuteness, and joy ❤️

A Note from the Foster: Hi I'm Tucker!! My foster dad calls me TuckTuck. I just turned 8 weeks old. My foster mom says I'm full of personality and smart as a whip. After sleeping all night in my kennel, I go outside and go potty right away. I definitely know pottying outside is a good thing, because after I pee I come running up to my foster mom for my treat. I think I just need to work on knowing that's the ONLY socially acceptable potty spot. But, I've only had 1 accident in the house. So I'd say I'm doing pretty well. 

After pottying outside I like to run around and wrestle my sister. I love squeaky toys and chasing the resident dogs around. I'm a pretty confident little boy and my foster mom says I'll be a dream to train because I soak up learning like a sponge. 

I play for about 1-2 hours and then I sleep for 1-2 hours. I love food and snacks. 

My foster mom thinks I'm part Shar-Pei because of my wrinkles and my all black tongue. She thinks I'll be super handsome when I'm older too. I think I'm super unique and fun :)

History: Wittle Steven is a super handsome boy who arrived to rescue in need of a back leg amputation :( He has been doing so well with this post-surgery and is officially ready to start his journey in finding his forever family!

A Note from the Foster: Hi world!  My name is Wittle Stephen, but my foster family calls me “Wittles” or “little guy”.  

I came to rescue with a severely broken leg and I was pretty shut down emotionally.  I didn’t want to come out of my kennel or interact very much.

Fast forward a few weeks and I’m a totally different dog!  The fantastic vet team at Coco’s Heart amputated that leg that was causing me so much pain and discomfort  and my foster family showered me with all the love and attention I needed (and deserved).

I have fully recovered from my surgery and I’m learning to navigate this world as a tripod.  I can do almost everything that a four legged dog can do.  Steps?  Not a problem.  Running?  Not a problem.  I can even climb out of my playpen (my foster mom doesn’t like that one so much).

I love to play with all of my foster siblings (big and small) and thoroughly enjoy my naps (I take a lot of them!).  If you have a lap, I’m happy to keep it warm and if you have food, I’m happy to share it with you 😂.  I’m as sweet and cute as they come - I mean, look at me!

What am I still working on?  I REALLY don’t like being kenneled so my foster momma only puts me in there in small spurts (with treats) to get me used to it.  I sleep with my foster parents (under the covers of course) and haven’t had any issues in that regard.  I’m still working on potty training, but I usually do my business outside.  

Overall, my foster family says I’m a pretty easy guy to have around.  I’d probably do best in a family without small kiddos because I am a pretty fragile fella and I’d prefer another doggy to play with (I am still a puppy after all!).  

Do I sound like your cup of tea?  If so, complete the application for me.  I hope to meet you real soon 🐶

History: Woodley 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: Official title: Professional Lap Dog

This little fella is the sweetest little bundle of fur. If he had a theme song it would be “Best Friend” by Harry Nilsson. Every time he is be-bopping around that is the song that instantly comes to mind. He just wants to love and be loved and is a world class snuggler. He’s never met a lap he didn’t want to melt into. Everyone who meets him comments on how he is a tender hearted, sweet soul. There is not a mean bone in his little body. 

Dogs: He LOVES to play tug-of-war, chase, and wrestle with his 90lb foster fur-sister. The size does not intimidate him. They play hard for about 20 minutes and then it’s nap time for the both of them as they snuggle up together. He also does great with his 9lb foster fur-brother but his brother doesn’t like to play because he’s an old fellow.

Cats: He wants to be friends with the resident kitties SO bad! He just wants to snuggle with them. If they are running he will chase them but only because he wants to play with them. Once they jump up on a chair, Woodley is heartbroken but moves on. 

Kids: All kids ADORE this sweet little guy. He loves to play tug-of-war, chase, or just snuggle in their lap. 

Training: He’s working on potty training and does pretty well when kept on a schedule.

Woodley is the kind of puppy that completes a family. He has so much love to give and needs a family that will love him equally in return.
