History: Mittens is a super beautiful girl who was recently welcomed to rescue and will warm your heart. She is working on her trust and confidence and is hoping to find a patient family of her very own soon!
A Note from the Foster: Meet Mittens, a.k.a. "Babs Bunny." With her twitchy nose, two adorable front teeth, and perky ears, it's easy to see how she earned the nickname; and she even answers to it!
Mittens is a gentle, shy girl blossoming in home life. She loves her kennel as a safe space and sleeps “quietly" through the night, she snores quite loudly. She's had no accidents indoors, uses potty pads like a champ, and sassily lets her foster family know when she's done her business. We're confident she'll pick up outdoor potty training once she finds her footing outside. In the meantime, she enjoys soaking up the sun and taking in the sights and sounds of the outdoors at her own pace.
She's become a loyal little shadow, following her foster mom room to room. She coexists with the resident dog and is uncertain of cats. She's nervous around small children but will accept gentle pets with some reassurance.
Mittens would do best in a calm, quiet home with patient adults or older children who will give her the time she needs to trust and thrive. Her sass and spunk shine a little more with each passing day, and we can't wait to see her fully come out of her shell in her forever home.
Mittens has a vet exam scheduled for April 8th and will be spayed following that appointment. She is eligible for our foster to adopt program and is hoping to settle in with her forever family while she completes her veterinary care with Coco's Heart.
Adoption Fee: $560 + tax
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!
