Coko

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Location: Faversham, Kent Meet Coko – A Special Dog Looking for a Very Special Home Coko originally came into our care in 2022 and was rehomed, but sadly, his placement did not work out. He is now back with us and looking for a very specific kind of home where he can thrive. 🏡 The Right Home for Coko Coko needs a quiet, calm, and rural home — city or town life is too overwhelming for him. We’re seeking a female-only household, with no children (including visiting children) and no male visitors. This must be a dog-experienced home that can offer him structure, patience, and consistent management. His new home must be willing to muzzle train him and use tools like baby gates to manage visitors when absolutely necessary. He should also live in a home without cats. 🐶 What Coko Loves • Affectionate and cuddly – loves snuggling on the sofa (he even asks permission first!) • Chilled at home – house-trained, doesn’t chew, and sleeps a lot • Playful and social with dogs – thrives in a home with other dogs • Active outdoors – enjoys long walks and doing zoomies in safe, quiet areas ⚠️ What Coko Needs Support With • Aggression toward strangers and visitors – he will bark and has shown aggression (including attempted bites) when people enter the home or approach unexpectedly • Very reactive to noise and movement – barks at people walking past the house or unfamiliar sounds nearby • Unpredictable in public spaces – he may jump at and try to bite strangers if startled, especially in parks • Must be kept on a lead at all times in public and requires constant supervision • Very fearful of children and men, which can lead to aggressive behavior Coko is a sweet, loyal, and affectionate companion who just hasn’t found the right environment yet. He will flourish in the care of a calm, experienced woman in a quiet, rural setting — someone who understands that his anxieties need careful management and who’s willing to give him the time and training he needs. He’s a fantastic dog with other dogs, loves a peaceful home life, and has so much love to give — to the right person. If you think you can offer Coko the understanding and stability he deserves, please get in touch. He’s waiting for someone special. CRITERIA: We adopt our dogs to an area in England within a 3-hour drive of Cobham in Surrey. Any garden must be fully secure and have at least 6 ft boundaries. All our home checks are carried out virtually. If your initial application is successful, we will ask you for proof of ID, a video tour of your home and garden. Lastly, we carry out a video home check call. If you feel you can offer the right home and you match our criteria, please complete our pre adoption form here: and press SEND. Please only apply if you are ready to adopt. Home check and £400 adoption fee applies plus £25 for the safety harness that we insist all of our dogs are walked on until absolutely settled in their new home. All of our dogs come with a pet passport, are vet checked before departing and arrive via a DEFRA registered transportation vehicle. Serbia’s forgotten paws has been operating for over 10 years and has rehomed over 1,500 in the UK

About Coko

What life with Coko looks like

Coko is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Serbia's Forgotten Paws in Serbia (UK charity).

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧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 Coko, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Coko?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Serbia's Forgotten Paws handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Coko on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Coko if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Serbia's Forgotten Paws 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 Coko 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 Coko 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 Serbia's Forgotten Paws early rather than rehoming privately; they know Coko 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.
