About Koko

  • Status: Available for Adoption (adoption info)
  • Species: Dog
  • Current Age: 2 Years 5 Months (best estimate)
Meet little Koko!

Best guess, NO GUARANTEE, is that Koko is a Chihuahua mix, with what we're not sure, Dachshund? Shih Tzu? Spaniel?  She is about 10lbs, and our best assessment (NO GUARANTEE) is that she is 2-3 years old.

Is Koko sweet as chocolate? Well, yes. Is Koko beautiful? Well, yes. Is Koko still a little unsure of what a loving home and her own humans are? Well, yes. Is Koko worth the patience love and celebrating every little milestone? Her foster mom says absolutely!!

Koko is the tiniest of our rescues from a backyard breeder/hoarder situation. She had always shared a small muddy kennel with larger dogs and had very little human contact/touch.  So, yes, she is unsure but wants so desperately to be like her foster fur siblings. 

She wiggles and smiles and comes close, and when she finally does experience some love, she leans in. She just needs time, love, patience and reassurance. 

The one thing she is completely comfortable with is being her canine foster sister's bestie.  She adores having someone to play and nap with, and they are the cutest little lady pals  - we think Koko will do best in a home with another adjusted canine companion as she does lean in to more human time when she sees the others enjoying their belly rubs.

She crates when asked, including for her breakfast and dinner. She has the cutest little bow beg she does for her treats when she is a good girl. And foster mime says she is a good girl a lot. 

Potty training is almost perfect as long as you watch her signals, and she keeps her crate clean. 

She truly is going to be the cutest little love bug when she settles in. Please fill out our online adoption application if you are interested in her.

Koko is spayed, up-to-date on core vaccines, dewormed, current on flea preventative, and can be microchipped!

**If you are interested, YOU NEED TO APPLY.  Also, a follow-up email to info@safeatlast.net is strongly recommended.


To pursue adoption, please register on www.safeatlast.net.  (Click Register on the left-hand side of our homepage.)  When you receive your password on your email account, please log back on to our website to complete the SAFE AT LAST on-line adoption application.  (Click Forms/Application on the left-hand side of our homepage and select the Adoption Application.) Once we have your completed application, if we feel you are a good match, we will contact you by email. (So, please check your SPAM.)  Our process is straightforward but involves a phone interview, reference checks and a home assessment.  An adoption fee of $450 applies.

YOU CANNOT MEET OUR RESCUE ANIMALS UNTIL YOU HAVE BEEN APPROVED TO ADOPT.  WE CANNOT CONSIDER YOU UNTIL YOU HAVE SUBMITTED THE FULLY FILLED OUT SAFE AT LAST ON-LINE ADOPTION APPLICATION.  Delay in submitting your application will put you behind other potentially suitable applicants.  Ultimately, approved adopters will be required to complete an adoption in Schoharie/Albany County.

Thank you for your interest.

(Sorry, we will not respond to generic "check the box," "Is s/he available," "Can you give me more information" inquiries.)
