Meet Coco!
Handsome Coco was sadly abandoned, so we unfortunately don’t know anything about his past. We believe that he is around two years old (possibly younger) but what we can tell you for sure is that he’s a fantastic boy!
He may have suffered traumas in his past life, as he can be very nervous at first and struggles to trust people until he gets to know us. He was very shut down when he first arrived in his foster home but now he knows he’s safe, he has attached himself to his foster family like velcro. He wants to be around them all the time and squishes up to them on the sofa. He can’t get close enough!
He becomes very distressed when he is left alone so his new family will need to be around all the time initially, and will need to dedicate lots of time and effort to helping Coco overcome this separation anxiety. It’s no mean feat and will take time, but a four-legged friend will hopefully help. Coco adores being around other dogs and finds comfort in their company.
Once Coco trusts you, he is affectionate and playful. He loves his toys and spends lots of time on “sniffari” in the garden. He is frightened of having his lead put on at the moment but once he is out and about, he enjoys the adventure and walks wonderfully on the lead.
Coco’s fosterer told us that he is super smart and he loves food, so training him will be a dream. We suspect he is younger than the two years that our vet estimated as he still has puppy traits, so continuous training and a busy brain is a must. We’re looking for an owner who has experience with Spaniels and as we do not know his background, two-legged family members must be over 10 years old. Coco cannot live with cats or small furries.
Do you have plenty of time to dedicate to helping Coco the cutie overcome his separation anxiety and grow to be a well-rounded, happy chap? Please get in touch!

ADOPTION PROCESS
We have a number of animals in our care. Most are homeless through no fault of their own and are looking for furever homes and owners who can give them the love and attention they deserve.
Please take a few moments to familiarise yourself with our adoption process:
Step 1:
The animal is admitted into our care, and assessed by our team.
Step 2:
The animal is examined by a vet, who treats any ailments or injuries.
Step 3:
The appropriate team leader will liaise with the potential adopter to get to know them and assess whether they are a potential purr-fect match.
Step 4:
The potential new owners meet the animal, and decide if they want to adopt. New owners may be asked to visit the animal several times before the adoption takes place.
Step 5:
A pre-adoption home visit will then be made to new owners home to meet the members of the household and to ensure that the environment is safe.
Step 6:
If the visit goes well, you will be asked to collect the animal and to make an adoption donation (amount on request) as well as to sign an agreement to care for the pet with a commitment to return them to us if you can't continue to do so.
