Coco Chanel comes to us from the Suffolk shelter. She is a 12 pound yorkie (mix?) approximately 8 years old.
Coco is an exceptionally happy dog, who thrives on human interaction and affection. She loves spending time with people and enjoys being the center of attention. She is content and calm, with no signs of anxiety, and is truly a joyful companion.
At night, Coco sleeps in a crate in the foster's room. During the day, when her foster family is away for about three hours, she is also crated. While she may whine a little initially, she quickly settles down and spends her time sleeping or napping.
Coco walks well on a leash, especially on grassy surfaces, which are easier for her than concrete or sidewalks due to her ataxia and hind leg weakness. For her safety, she should be kept away from stairs, both going up and down. Coco experiences some unsteadiness due to weakness in her back legs. Although her movements can be wobbly, recent X-rays have not shown any signs of trauma.
She is currently awaiting both her dental procedure and spay, which are scheduled for 10/24.
While Coco is becoming more comfortable around the resident dogs in her foster home, she is still unsure of them and prefers to keep her distance. She is happiest when she can relax quietly in her dog bed, especially when people are nearby.
Coco Chanel is a loving dog who simply wants to be with her people. She would do best as the only dog in the household, as she is not a fan of the other resident dogs. She is perfectly content to remain in a separate room away from them and has shown no signs of anxiety, making her a relaxed and happy companion. Additionally, she is always happy to receive the occasional treat.
