Happily Ever After - Coco (aka Coconut and formerly Eliot)!

Coco, when he was found and shortly after he was shaved and cleaned up.
3 1/2 lbs. of matted hair and filth were removed from this little 5 lb. dog!








Coco now, looking happy and healthy!












A note from Coco's new mom:
After seeing the horrible pictures of Coco when he was found wandering the streets, I realized that he had most likely never been groomed, played with, taught where to potty or even been properly fed since he was born. Our vet estimates that he is around 1 1/2 to 2 years old and the amount of long hair he had on his face shows he was never groomed in that amount of time.

To realize that in the month he's been with us and the two or three weeks he spent being fostered was the first time he'd ever walked on a leash or been taught any of these things makes me realize just what a special little dog he is.

In just one month he is more confident and relaxed around people of all ages. He is calm and affectionate with children. He rarely barks. He loves to go for walks and is doing so well with his potty habits. He has been on a couple of road trips and had a great time. He sure loves his food! He is still thin and he doesn't really play much, but I believe he will do everything in time.

We're so happy to have Coco in our family!
