It’s been a big week for Miss Coco! She had her spay surgery and her dental, and she handled both like a champ. Her foster brother, BTRC alum Pretzel, also had a procedure on the very same day, which means their foster parents had their hands full with double post-op doggy duty!
Neither pup was thrilled with their post‑surgery outfits – Coco with her body suit and Pretzel with his cone. Though both know they are cute regardless of what they wear, they would have appreciated being consulted before wardrobe decisions were made.
Coco has yet another thing to add to her grievance list. The ‘Chewy Ban.’ Apparently, she’s not allowed to have any chewies until she’s fully healed from dental surgery. And while Pretzel was trying to be a good brother and not rub it in her face, she knew that he was chomping away…she could feel it. So, she longingly glanced in his direction, pondering the injustices she was facing post-surgery.
Coco also hit a four‑day streak of zero potty accidents! On day five, she felt the urge to go, but her mom looked to be in the middle of a very serious human conversation. Rather than interrupting, Coco politely did her business inside, so the home renovation talk could continue. Though she broke her streak, we are awarding points for good manners.
Coco is being fostered in Niagara Falls, ON and is not yet ready for adoption.

Coco is BTRC’s newest cutie pie!
Three-year-old Coco recently came into care after her family faced life changes that made it difficult to give her the level of care she needed. They wanted her to have an opportunity to flourish, and we’re happy to help her do just that.
Coco has been nothing but sweet, gentle, and playful since arriving in care. She’s getting along wonderfully with the resident Boston Terrier and has shown she can hold her own in an intense game of bitey face!
A spay and dental are in Coco’s near future, and while she charmed everyone at her first vet appointment, she plans to make an even bigger impression during her all-day stay.
