Meet Coco!
Coco is a 6-month-old, 16-pound Shih Tzu and Pug mix who is looking for a patient family to help her confidence blossom. Surrendered when her owner could no longer care for her, this little girl has already undergone surgery to repair a cherry eye and is now seeing the world more clearly and comfortably.
Coco can be nervous and guarded when meeting new people. She needs slow introductions and space to approach at her own pace, as she will nip at strangers who rush interactions or push past her comfort level. A quiet, adult-only home with adopters who respect her boundaries is essential.
Once Coco feels safe, her playful puppy personality shines! She loves racing around the room with a favorite toy, showing off her silly side, and spending time with her people. She becomes very attached to those she trusts and has plenty of affection to share. Coco also gets along well with dogs of all sizes and could enjoy having a canine companion.
Still a puppy, Coco needs consistent, positive training to learn basic commands and build confidence. She has done well with her house manners, and although reluctant, she will go into a crate. Coco is looking for active adults who can offer a calm home while keeping up with her youthful energy and committing to the many years ahead. She will require regular grooming and is not a suitable fit for a tether or invisible fence.
With patience, love, and a family willing to let her blossom at her own pace, Coco has all the makings of a wonderful little companion. Could you be the one to give her a lifetime of love?

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS PET, PLEASE COMPLETE THE APPROPRIATE APPLICATION FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE HTTP://FUREVERTAILS.COM. Unfortunately, at this time we are not currently adopting outside of the state of MI. We process applications ONLY - there is no guarantee that you will get a response to an inquiry.
Many of the animals in our foster program come to us with limited or unknown histories. We make every effort to evaluate each animal's temperament and behavior, including testing their interactions with other dogs, cats, and children (defined as individuals under the age of 18, when available). However, every animal is unique—just as every child and household environment is different.
While we strive to set both our foster animals and adoptive families up for success through thorough assessments and transparent communication, **we cannot guarantee any specific behavioral outcome**. Animals can be unpredictable by nature, and behavior may change in new environments or over time. By proceeding with adoption or foster placement, applicants acknowledge and accept this inherent risk and agree that no guarantees, either expressed or implied, are made regarding the temperament or behavior of any animal placed through our program.
FUREVER TAILS IS A NON-PROFIT, NO-KILL, FOSTER HOME BASED ANIMAL RESCUE BASED OUT OF OAKLAND TOWNSHIP, MI. OUR FOSTER ANIMALS ARE LIVING IN FOSTER HOMES AND TREATED LIKE FAMILY UNTIL THEY FIND THEIR OWN FUREVER FAMILIES. OUR ADOPTION PROECESS REQUIRES AN APPLICATION TO BE COMPLETED AND APPROVED BEFORE A MEET-N-GREET WITH THE ANIMAL CAN TAKE PLACE. ADOPTION FEES ARE NECESSARY TO HELP US COVER VETTING COSTS FOR OUR RESCUED ANIMALS.
