Coco

Female · Senior · 14 years

Coco is a sweet little Chug (Chihuahua x Pug) with a lovely nature and lots of affection to give. She enjoys the simple things in life, such as a few gentle walks to stretch her legs, followed by curling up somewhere cozy for a long afternoon nap.She is a friendly girl who loves human company and would thrive in a calm, quiet loving home where she can relax and feel secure. Coco can be a little reactive around other dogs and may bark, so she is looking for a dog-free home where she can be the centre of attention. A home without cats would suit her best too.Coco could happily live with sensible children who understand that sometimes she enjoys a bit of peace and quiet and her own space to rest.She is currently a little overweight, so she is on a diet and would need her new owner to continue helping her on her weight-loss journey with sensible feeding and gentle exercise.She would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal little friend to share cuddles, quiet walks, and cosy evenings with.If you are interested in Coco, please register your interest today!Please be aware that Coco is on foster so she is only available to meet on appointment.

About Coco

What life with Coco looks like

Coco is a senior dog waiting at National Animal Welfare Trust in Watford.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Coco, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Coco?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. National Animal Welfare Trust handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Coco on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Coco if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — National Animal Welfare Trust will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Coco already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Coco isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with National Animal Welfare Trust early rather than rehoming privately; they know Coco and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
