Coco's Rescue in full swing!!!

We are off and running with getting Coco's Rescue up and running. We are always in need of blankets, kennels, shampoo, towels, dog toys/chews, and food. All of your help and support is greatly appreciated.
We have been taking in dogs(only pit bulls)and making sure they are taken care of until they are ready to find their forever home. We are seeing a variety of dogs come into our home. Some are very well taken care of and the owners had no choice but to get rid of them. Others come to us needing a lot of care to get back on track with eating, interacting with other dogs, and just learning how to be a family pet. We are working hard to make sure that each dog that comes to us enjoys all that our home has to offer before we adopt them to new owners. We have set up an application and an adoption contract to ensure that these dogs are placed in good homes and we are hoping to minimize the chances of them ending up back in a shelter by placing a clause in the contract that says the adopter must bring the dog back to us if for any reason they need to surrender the animal. We have purchased kennels/cages for each dog that we have. They eat well 2x daily and they love the time that they get outside to run around and play in the yard. The yard offers them a sense of freedom that many of them have never had. Each dog that has come to stay with us has become a part of us and we find it harder to adopt them out after they have spent a length of time here. We try to keep them long enough to be able to know their good qualities as well as the things that make them tick. We want to make sure that when we adopt them out, we are able to offer the person adopting the dog as much information as we possible can. We really just want what is best for these dogs and we are going to do our best ONE PIT BULL AT A TIME! We know that Coco is looking down on us and smiling each time he sees a dog get a good home and a second chance at a life.
We currently have 3 dogs available for adoption. These dogs can be seen on our new website at http://cocosrescue.blogspot.com/.
Max is a red nosed male pit bull. He is about 2 1/2years old.Great temperament, loves to be outside, great with kids, good with other dogs once he gets to know them.He is crate trained, and house broken. Max was rescued almost 4 1/2 months ago and just needs to go to a good home where he will be taken care of and get loads of love.Max has not been neutered, but needs to be. He is very loving, and eager to please. When outside he is protective of the yard and lets you know if someone is there that shouldn't be:-) Max is a little tall and is filling out nicely. He was skinny when we got him,and had a major issue with his skin on his face. it has healed nicely and you cant even tell where it was, and the exercise and good food is agreeing with him :-) He looks a 100% better, and we finally feel like he is ready for a new forever home.
Rebelis a very playful dog that just wants lots and lots of attention. He loves being outside, he is not fully housebroken. He is kennel trained. Rebel also needs to get neutered as well as get all of his shots. He came to us almost 3weeks ago. He is still very much a puppy. He will make a great addition to your family. He is still young enough that you will be able to train him the proper way.
Kingis just a little over a year old. He is full of energy, very playful, and also loving. He was raised around 5children, so he is great with them. He was also raised with a female dog, so he gets along well with others. Not to sure about male dogs. He is not neutered, and we are unsure if he has shots. We picked him up about 2weeks ago from a family in East Fort Myers. King just needs someone that has room for him to run, and who will give him lots of love. He is housebroken and kennel trained. He does well on a leash when you take him outside. If left in the backyard, he likes to find a shady spot for a nice nap :-) King is going to make a great addition to the right family.
We also just took in a male brindle pit bull named Romeo. Romeo came to us from the Clearwater area. He will be available for adoption in a few months. We want to make sure we are able to get to know him and give him a little self esteem back. He spent way to much time in a shelter. He is a great dog.
