Welcome Cocoa

Things have been extremely busy here at Paws Give Me Purpose over the last couple of weeks, but we did not want another day to pass by without introducing you all to our newest Sanctuary resident Cocoa (aka Baby Shark).

At a mere 3.6 pounds, Cocoa was surrendered by her owner to Baltimore Animal Control for a variety of health and behavioral issues including lunging, growling and biting. 

This 6-7 year old Baby Shark is truly a spicy little hot chocolate. She is extremely fearful of humans, but seeing men in her vicinity literally sends her into a tirade of negative behaviors. Barking, growling, biting, etc. Although she does seem to get along with other tiny dogs, she continues to guard her space and food from them. 

People seem to think that small dog breeds can’t possibly cause any harm, so they believe they don’t require training and discipline; however, people need to realize even a tiny Chihuahua or Yorkie can bite. Obedience training and discipline are always a must, for both you and your dog’s benefit and that obviously has not happened at all in Cocoa’s 7 years of life. Her fear is also palpable; and she absolutely does not trust human beings.

Please help us welcome Cocoa to Sanctuary. Help us help her heal, mentally, physically, spiritually, and learn to love and trust the human race.

Asking for money isn’t easy for anyone to do, but we need your help more than ever! Taking care of all of our Sanctuary residents is our top priority, and we know that in order to sustain operations, it’s what we must do. 

We ask that you please consider making a donation to help us with Cocoa’s care.
