DDR-Coco Puff

Coco Puff is about 5 years old, and spent most of his life chained up in a pallet yard in Pomona before his horrible owners went out of business and left him there on his chain to die. I remember the first time that I met Coco at the pallet yard, he was wagging his tail like a wild out of control dog, so happy to see someone new, then the chain jerked his neck as he tried to move out more than 4 ft from where he was chained to. A pole, a heavy chain that you could tow a boat to was about all that he knew of the world. We suspect that Coco was fought, street style dog fighting, because of all the scars on his face and legs. To look at Coco's face is like looking at a map of abuse. Somehow, he has learned to forgive and amazingly forget the past. When he first came into our rescue, he would walk 3-4 ft forwards to the side and back, as if he was still chained to the post. This went on for months. Eventually, by watching the other dogs, he learned how to play. He has mastered play with female dogs only and the rougher the play the better for Coco. In fact, he can play with a whole pack of female pit bulls, no issues. NO male dogs please. He enjoys his simple of life at our kennel, two play times, two meals a day, a nice dog igloo to sleep in, always being able to access fresh water while living in clean run, all things that he never had at his old place. We are not sure if we will ever be able to find Coco a forever home. He has been in our rescue for the past two years and we have set no time limit to how long he can stay but he sure would benefit from a real home. If you are an experience pit bull owner looking for one special dog that will be quiet is not hyper and will probably be the most appreciative dog you will ever meet if you adopt him. So far, not one application or e-mail for this big boy in 2009, maybe 2010 will be Coco's lucky year! Give us a call today at 818-407-4145 We are opptimistic since Coco is counting on us! www.downtowndogrescue.org
