Female | 3 years old | 23 pounds | Medium energy | Coexists with dog & cat | From Mexico | Living in Kitchener | Nervous, silly & smart
Coquis is currently doing a confidence reboot with one of our partner trainers, and we are looking for a new placement by February 1st. Ideally, we'd love to find her a foster-to-adopt situation where someone wants to see if she's a good fit as their new pup. A foster home would work too.
At 3 years young, Coquis lived for some time in a shelter setting before coming to Toronto in October. This smol girl at just 23lbs felt a little lost in the city landscape. Indoors was her safe haven and she started coming out of her shell inside only. She thrived with another doggo to play with and learn from. She also has coexisted with a dog-friendly cat and done just dandy.
Coquis also enojoys predictability, so loud noises, unfamiliar sights or fast movements can put her on alert. She enjoys a quieter place to land in her next home. She's currently in Kitchener, ON doing her reboot and so far so good. With consistency, short confidence building drills, structured walks and a bit of fun mixed in.. this girl is warming up in just a few days.
Her ideal next placement would continue her daily routine that involves guiding her to build trust and confidence both indoors & outside. Inside that would look like having her leashed to guide interactions and avoid hiding. Outside, that would look like practicing building confidence (while having fun) by doing obstacles like jumping on structures or rocks, when out for structured walks. She’s caught on well to learning to follow her trusted people on walks, to help guide her through things that may initially startle her.
She needs guidance with most tasks but does take coaching well. She could live with a animal buddy, and is good with a flexible schedule that has times in her crate alone and times with her people. Ideally she'd be outside a major city like Toronto and have areas of park to explore and grow comfort in a new city.
Interested? Reach out to us to talk at adoption@saveourscruff.org or put in a foster or adoption application! We can even set up an informal meet and greet to make sure it's a fit.
