Cocoa is a darling red tricolor mini Aussie whose coat is actually a beautiful, rich brown color with tan and white markings. Her date of birth is estimated to be September 22, 2012. She is very tiny and at 4 1/2 months old, only weighs 15 pounds. She came to North Star as an owner surrender on February 11, 2013 through no fault of her own. Her previous owners just didn’t have enough time to spend with her. She was kept alone in a garage all day for a couple of months and now loves her indoor lifestyle. She quickly learned to be crate trained and the crate is a must to continue her housebreaking and it also serves as her safe spot. When coming inside the house after having exercise outdoors, Cocoa is able to settle down and entertain herself in the crate with toys and bones. Her crate stays clean and dry as she sleeps through the night.
Being on the timid side, she will need someone who will socialize her slowly to help her gain self-confidence when meeting new people. She is playful outside with the resident dogs at her foster home and loves to run and play chase with them. She is learning to go for walks with a leash and to follow along during a walk without a leash. Cocoa is food motivated and is showing how eager she is to please. We are working on her learning “come” and “sit”. She also does well riding in the car. Based on her personality we are looking for a home for Cocoa that is Aussie experienced with no children and has a yard with a physical fence. We want to be sure she can have both physical and mental exercise on a regular basis.
Cocoa has been wormed, micro-chipped, and given her first round of puppy shots. She will be adopted with a spay/neuter contract which means a $100 deposit will need to be paid in addition to the adoption fee, and will be held until written proof is provided to North Star that she has been spayed. At that time the deposit will be refunded.
If you are interested in adopting a dog from North Star, you must apply and be approved first. You can find our online application at http://www.northstarbcrescue.org. If you have any questions or are interested in adopting Cocoa please contact Deborah@northstarbcrescue.org.
Cocoa is being fostered near Kalamazoo, Michigan.
