Paco's Story

Meet Paco – Your Sweet, Snuggly Shadow 💛 If you’ve ever dreamed of a dog whose superpower is loving everyone she meets, Paco might just be your perfect match. This petite senior lady is truly the sweetest dog ever — gentle, polite, and endlessly affectionate. She has mastered the art of relaxed living and would love a human who appreciates the same pace. She is fully house-trained, has lovely manners, and is wonderfully polite with other dogs — she’ll say a quick hello and then happily go about her business. Cats don’t faze her, and she’s fantastic with children. During a meet-and-greet at Miller’s Market, kids approached her and she soaked up the attention with calm grace — no jumping, no barking, just tail wags and love. At home, Paco is a total snuggle bug. She adores couch cuddles and is always thrilled when her people come home. She plays gently with humans and doesn’t have a prey drive. One thing to know about her heart: she loves her people a lot. Paco does experience some separation anxiety and may bark a bit when left alone, which means she’s not ideal for apartment living. She also doesn’t enjoy crates. What she truly needs is a human who will be there, offer reassurance, and enjoy quiet companionship. If you’re looking for a senior dog who will warm your couch, your heart, and your home, Paco is ready to meet you 🐾💕

It Takes A Village Dog Rescue's Adoption Policy

Hopeful adopters must fill out an adoption application. All applications are screened and potential matches are contacted. Follow up questions are emailed. A phone call is set up to clarify any questions about the adoption process. At that point the fosters are provided the contact information for the potential adopters. They set up a meet and greet at the fosters home. During the meet the foster will tell the potential adopter the good, the bad. and the ugly about the dog... we want total transparency in order to have an open and successful adoption. After the meet we ask the fosters and the adopters their thoughts. If the adopter would like to proceed, their references are checked and a virtual home visit is conducted. If the adoptable dog has any sort of behavioural or medical issues a plan to address the issue would be required before adoption could proceed. If all is good then the adoption contract is sent out to be signed and returned along with the adoption fee. The foster is given the green light to arrange pick up.
