Hello, I'm Coco

This potato is Coco, a 5 year old petite Bulldog who sadly arrived in our care as a stray.

When she first arrived at the centre, Coco was so scared. She could barely see out of her eyes as they were crusted over with gunk that had been left uncleaned for a long time. She was severely under her needed weight, clearly having missed many much needed meals. Coco also had overgrown claws which caused her pain when she walked.

Her face folds and ears were full of dirt, causing them to be red and very sore. She was very good at letting us gently clean her up to help her feel a little more comfortable.

After her initial settling in period, Coco was whisked away to see the vet. Coco was prescribed eye medication to help treat her dry eye condition. This is likely to be lifelong, but it is affordable and she is very good at having her drops applied. She was also prescribed ear drops to treat her ear infection.

Coco soon felt like a new woman. She was able to enjoy her walks and meet all the wonderful volunteers. Coco absolutely loves people of all ages and is not bothered by dogs of any size or shape.

She has good lead manners and is more of a plodder than an athlete kind of girl. Her gentle nature and Bulldog zoomies sum up her two available speeds.

She could potentially live with children of all ages due to her soft nature. We would also be happy to introduce resident felines who are dog savvy and canine companions who are not too over the top.

Please remember that brachycephalic breeds require daily maintenance, so we encourage any potential adopters to research the breed thoroughly.
