*PETFINDER INQUIRIES WILL NOT BE ANSWERED. PLEASE COMPLETE OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION AFTER READING HIS FULL ADOPTION LISTING. THE ADOPTION APPLICATION IS LOCATED ON OUR WEBSITE: http://www.idogrescue.com/adoption_application *PLEASE CLICK "Show more" below to continue reading about Coco. Meet Cute Coco a 10 month-old 48 lb. female Poodle/Bloodhound mix puppy, who is in an IDOG foster home in Magnolia, Arkansas. FAST FACTS ABOUT COCO: *AGE: approximately 10 months old (born August 2025) *WEIGHT: 48 lbs. We think he adult weight my be 55-60 lbs. She is a gangly teenager right now. *FENCE REQUIREMENT: A physical fence and yard are recommended. Coco loves the freedom that she has to run around as much as she wants in the fosters fenced back yard. Her recall isn't great yet so we think she does need a fenced yard for her future success. No shock collars or invisible fences will be considered, as we do not feel these would set her up for success. *COAT TYPE: Soft curly/wavy coat that sheds a bit. Adopter should be prepared to brush her coat often to prevent matting and have her groomed every 3 months or so. *ENERGY LEVEL: High puppy energy. She is still a puppy even though she looks full grown and will require obedience training, continued socialization, lots of mental stimulation and daily exercise. She does jump when she's excited/you're just returning home. Once she gets her exercise in, she is done and ready to chill! *DOGS: Yes! She has loved all dogs she has been around. She does have puppy energy so if there is another dog in her forever home they should be OK with a puppy. We think she would do well with a confident dog in her forever home to show her the ropes. *CATS: Unknown. She has had no exposure to cats in her foster home. *KIDS: Yes! She will be fine around older kids; she could accidentally knock down little kids as she has no concept of her size. *CAR: She does well in the car! *CRATE: : We are crating Coco in the afternoon while everyone is at work and she is doing fine. She goes right in willingly, lays down and is good until we get back home which is 2-4 hours. She is a puppy and cant yet be trusted to free roam when no one is home. She will get into something she shouldn't if left to her own devices. *HOUSE TRAINED: We are working on it! She was tied out alone 24/7 in her last home so is going to take a bit more time to figure out how to potty outside only. Her new family will need to continue being diligent in taking her out regularly until she matures some. *LEASH: She needs continued leash training but loves going for walks; she pulls some if she gets overly excited. *WITH GROOMING: She loves to be brushed and will just sit still while you brush her. *AT VET: Coco was unsure at the vet and froze completely when they put her on the examination table. She was fine with everyone handling her. *VETTING: Coco is spayed, microchipped, current on core vaccines and almost house-trained. She is on monthly heartworm/flea/tick preventives. MORE ABOUT COCO: Coco is 10 month old female Poodle/Bloodhound mix puppy who currently weighs 48 lbs. She was surrendered to IDOG by her family. She was kept tied up outside 24/7 and we are happy that we could help her find her forever family where she is an inside dog and gets all the love and attention and exercise she deserves. Coco is the best cuddler!!! She will lay on the couch right beside you and not move until you do! She is learning to not jump on people, but it's a struggle for her. She just gets so excited, that she just can't restrain herself. She loves to go on walks and we have been working on leash training. But if she sees something that looks really interesting, you better hold on! Coco will sleep all night in her bed in our bedroom and not make a peep until around 7:30 am. Coco is still very much a puppy and needs some stimulation. But once she is done, she is done and ready to just chill. She will need some obedience training, She is a really good dog and needs a good family and a yard to frolic in. She is such a goofy, fun and lovable girl and needs a family willing to put in the work for her to reach her potential of being the best girl ever! Coco is about 48 pounds right now, but as she matures she should weigh up towards 55 to 60 pounds. Right now she is a gangly teenager. She takes correction really well and listens when you tell her no. She is very submissive and will roll over if she thinks she is in trouble. Coco loves being with her people, but she is not a Velcro dog. She will happily lay in the family room and chew on a bone all by herself. IDEAL TYPE OF HOME: Coco needs an active home. She will be a great dog for someone with older kids that she can't accidentally knock down. She loves to play with my larger Goldendoodle, so she would probably love to have another dog in the home. After adoption we ask that you give any rescue dog time to acclimate the 3/3/3 rule 3 days, 3 weeks, 3 months. For 3 days after adoption/transition, the dog may wonder who you are, what the routine is, who the other dogs are. After about 3 weeks, the dog has typically acclimated to your schedule & knows her role in the house. After about 3 months, the dog has revealed their temperament & personality & settled in.

ADOPTION FEE: $450 ADOPTION FEE EXPLANATION: Puppies & highly adoptable dogs have a higher adoption fee to help IDOG cover the vetting & expenses of the other dogs in IDOG whose adoption fees do not cover their expenses. Our expenses are high these days due to increased vetting expenses, board & train costs, medical/health issues & surgery that is needed for some of our dogs. IDOG relies heavily on donations to bridge the gap between our adoption fees & our expenses. Unfortunately, donations are down across the board for all rescues.
