Poor, Adorable Dog Is Still At The Shelter For Over 730 Days, And Nobody Is Adopting Him
Coco has been waiting a long time for someone to notice him, and that kind of waiting can change a dog. He arrived at Main Line Animal Rescue in 2019 after his family moved to Pennsylvania and could no longer keep up with his care.
Since then, the shy shelter dog has struggled with strangers, even though the people who know him say he has a much softer side. After more than 730 days at the shelter, Coco is still hoping for a calm home where he can finally relax.
His story is simple, but the ending is still up in the air.
Coco, the shy yet sweet dog.
Coco has been at the shelter for more than 730 days. Sadly, not a single adoption appointment has been scheduled for him.
Nobody is interested in adopting this sweet dog. He is still waiting for the family who will finally take him to his forever home.
Once you get to know Coco, you'll find out that he's the sweetest.
It takes time for him to warm up to people. He's extremely shy, and his friends believe that this is one of the reasons why he's still waiting at the shelter.
Coco is too afraid of strangers.
However, once he breaks down the barriers with them, he's able to show his playful and goofy side. Heidi Mottin, an MLAR volunteer, mentioned that he is brave about exploring what lies beyond the shelter and loves to give kisses.
Coco is a large dog with trust issues, and most people are looking for a dog who will fit right in immediately, but Coco will take some time to adjust.
It also makes you think about the Redditor who questioned returning a mismatched rescue dog back to the shelter.
Among the reasons behind his wariness is that he's been at the shelter for a very long time.
In a very stressful environment, such as a shelter with many dogs, it's hard to relax. However, once he's in his forever home, the volunteers are confident that he'll be able to relax and settle in comfortably.
Mottin stated that Coco is already accustomed to the shelter's routines. It seems that he has given up on seeking what life has in store for him.
Coco is friendly with the low-key dogs after living in the shelter for a long time.
The canine is searching for a peaceful home without any commotion.
He would surely bond peacefully once in a home. At this point, with so many dogs around him and with people coming and going, it's challenging for him to relax.
The volunteers love Coco more than anything. While it may be sad to see him go, it's evident that they want him to have a loving home with a family who will take care of him.
It may take some time to gain his trust, but once that trust has been earned, he becomes a happy-go-lucky dog.
That kind of patience is exactly what Coco needs.
