Coco was at the shelter for a very long time. When that time was about up, she was pulled by the Alachua County Humane Society. Alachua Humane has a great new facility with room for many more dogs and cats than their old place. They are committed to ending euthanasia in our county. We've come a long way towards that goal in the past decade, but still about 40% of the dogs who enter the shelter, and an even higher percentage of cats, are euthanized. If you adopt Coco or another dog from the Humane Society or one of the other private, no-kill rescues in town, you make it possible for that rescue to pull another dog from the euthanasia list at the county shelter. Often the private rescues will give a chance to a dog that the shelter cannot care for, because of health or behavior problems. Coco doesn't have any problems like that -- she is sweet, gentle, healthy, and ready to go.
Beth says this about Coco: She is all wigggles! Such a happy girl! She had pups at the shelter that were all snatched up and adopted. She was left behind, but fortunately ACHS took her into their program.
