Coco is an approximately 3–4-year-old pug looking for an experienced adopter who can provide a calm, predictable home and is prepared to manage her lifelong medical needs. She requires seizure medication throughout the day, a consistent daily routine, and a family committed to continuing her care. She’s still working on potty training and does best with regular schedules for meals, bedtime, waking up, and trips outside.
Coco has been through quite a bit medically since coming into our care earlier this year. She was found as a stray and rescued by a Good Samaritan who reached out to us when Coco began experiencing seizures and they realized they couldn’t take on her medical needs long-term.
Once in our care, Coco was diagnosed with heartworm disease. We treated her, and six months later, we’re thrilled to share that she’s officially heartworm negative! Her seizures are now controlled with medication given throughout the day, and we’ve learned more about her triggers to help keep her comfortable. She also had an eye that was nonvisual and prone to recurring infections, so we made the decision to have it removed.
Despite everything she’s been through, Coco is a sweet, gentle girl. She enjoys playing with other dogs, has a calm demeanor, and loves nothing more than finding a sunny spot to relax.
Coco needs more than a loving home. She needs an adopter who understands the responsibility of managing a chronic medical condition, can maintain her medication schedule and routine, and is committed to providing her care for life. In return, she’ll bring plenty of sweetness to a home ready to meet her where she is.
Coco is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. She’s currently being fostered in Sacramento, CA.
