Adopt Coco

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 9 years

This beautiful girl is our Coco. We welcomed Coco into our care in november. Helen found her on the street and thought she was limping when she was feeding the dogs on the street on the way to the sanctuary. We took her to the vet and her leg seems fine. Turns out that she just walks a bit funny. She always walks very pretty like an elegant horse. Coco was tested positive for tick borne disease ehrlichea but has been treated for that and is all healthy again. Coco had a lot of fun at the vet and was so happy with all the attention that these strange people were giving her and her tail would not stop wagging. Coco is a favorite of many of our volunteers, she's a really sweet dog and just loves to be around people. Every morning and afternoon she'll go for a walk and it's her favorite time of the day. She's easy to walk and does not pull on the lead at all. She's good with most dogs too. Coco is a senior and is not asking for much. She'd like to go on a few walks everyday and would like to have a warm bed and a special someone that she can snuggle up to and that would like to give her kisses and cuddles. We don't know much about Cocos past, but her big scar around her neck tells us that she's been on a chain for many years. Wouldn't it be lovely if she could spend her last years in a warm home having nothing to worry about? Coco is fully vaccinated and has her bag packed to go to her forever home. Please send us a message if you're interested in adopting her.

About Coco

What life with Coco looks like

Coco is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Helen in Vratsa region.

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 Bulgaria

Bulgarian shelters typically include full vet workup, sterilization, and passport. Many coordinate with EU rescue partners for direct transport to adopter cities in Germany, Netherlands, and Austria.

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. Helen 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 — Helen 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. 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 Helen 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.
