Cocoa

Say hello to Cocoa! This beautiful 7-year-old farm girl has made so much progress since her arrival in BLLR foster care. Cocoa’s personality has blossomed as she has become more at ease with her surroundings and made the transition to residential living. Top priority for Cocoa after recovery from … her surgery to remove a benign mass and spay was to learn house training. She had some fits and starts but we are pleased to say she has been 100% accident free for just over a week. Routine has been a true cornerstone to her progression. A routine in the AM and PM bathroom breaks before meals is working perfectly. Foster life for Cocoa also includes daily walks – two walks a day on the good days! She walks nicely on a leash and pulls only when she sees other animals or people. With a little more practice, we are confident that she will develop strong canine manners. Some of Cocoas favorite things are tennis balls, raw bones and she hasn’t met any dog treats that she didn’t love! From trainer treats to milk bones they are all a hit with Cocoa! She has learned to retrieve the tennis ball reliably and continues getting better with “give”. She will sit and lay for treats too! Cocoa is smart, sweet, loving and just wants to please. All visitors to our household have been humans and she has accepted everyone with a wagging tail including various chewy delivery people. Cocoa is looking for her forever home and the best match for Cocoa includes a home with lots of patience, a solid routine, more training, and lots of interaction with people. Other animals may require some time to acclimate.
