COCO

MALE – MINIATURE PINSCHER – BORN AROUND 2011 – AT SHELTER SINCE JUL 2025

Meet Coco
Coco is a very sweet senior Miniature Pinscher, born around 2011. He came to the shelter in July 2025 after his owner fell ill and could no longer care for him.

Despite his age, Coco is full of love and spirit. He’s a gentle, affectionate boy who thrives on cuddles and companionship. He enjoys short walks to take care of his business, but otherwise he’s happiest snuggled up with someone special.

Coco is in good health for a senior and has so much love left to give. We know it’s not always easy to open your heart and home to an older dog, but adopting a senior truly means rescuing an old soul and giving them the best chapter of their life.

If you’re ready to make a difference and be Coco’s person, please come meet him—you may just find the perfect companion you’ve been waiting for.

Meet Elvis

This sweet little guy’s journey began at a high-kill shelter, but thanks to Dogs and Cats Forever, Elvis now has a second chance at life. Since arriving in August 2025, he has been capturing attention with his gentle nature, curious spirit, and love for snuggles—he’s a big cuddle bug at heart.

Elvis has perfectly black, shiny fur, with a white chest and a front paw sprinkled with little white polka dots that make him truly one of a kind. He’s also super goofy and full of fun, the kind of pup who will absolutely make you smile every day. He enjoys exploring and taking in everything the world has to offer, yet he always stays close to his caregivers for reassurance. He can be a little shy at first when meeting new people, but that’s perfectly normal for a puppy who’s still finding his confidence.

He’s interested in meeting other dogs, learning about his surroundings, and is doing great with his potty training—a wonderful start for such a young pup. Like all puppies, he will need plenty of training, patience, and love to grow into the happy, well-mannered companion he’s meant to be.

If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and delightfully silly friend who’s ready for both adventures and cuddle time, Elvis is waiting to meet you.
