Cocoa in Rural Retreat, VA

Cocoa is a 5-year-old Blenheim female Cavalier King Charles Spaniel looking for a forever home where she can be showered with love and attention. She is a real sweetheart and deserves to be a cherished family member. For most of her life, she was a breeding dog at a commercial facility.

Cocoa weighs 24 pounds. Since coming into rescue, Cocoa was spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and treated for an ear infection. She is heart-clear with no murmur detected. Cocoa has a torn tendon, which the vet diagnosed during her well visit. It does not hinder her ability to chase critters in the yard or move about. The vet did not recommend surgery. Healthy habits that may reduce the likelihood of future surgery are encouraged, including maintaining a healthy weight, providing low-impact exercise, limiting repetitive jumping from elevated surfaces, and scheduling routine veterinary checkups.

Cocoa has lived with other dogs of all sizes and gets along well with them. She enjoys exploring the yard with her foster family’s dogs and her friend Cindy. She is easily distracted by critters of all sorts, so she either needs a secured fenced yard or to be leashed when outside. 

Cocoa is crate trained and sleeps in one at night, but would prefer the big bed. She enjoys frequent visits outside, which has helped with her house training. If you are looking for a companion to accompany you throughout the day, Cocoa is the girl for you. Whether lounging on the couch or going about your daily routine, Cocoa would love to be at your side.
