About Coco’s Heart Dog Rescue
Coco’s Heart Dog Rescue is a foster-based, volunteer-driven rescue that has found homes for over 15,000 animals since they were founded in May 2010. As part of their mission statement, Coco’s Heart Dog Rescue welcomes dogs from unfortunate situations and houses them in volunteer foster homes while preparing them for adoption placement. Coco’s Heart Dog Rescue was named Small Business of the Year in 2017 and spent nearly $1,150,000 on animal care expenses in 2021 in an effort to find forever homes for dogs throughout Wisconsin and Minnesota. Through its Adopt-A-Dog program, all six of Minnesota’s team dogs, including this year’s dog, Rookie, have come from Coco’s Heart Dog Rescue.
About Soldier’s 6’s mission is to provide honorably discharged veterans, police officers, fire fighters, correctional officers, 911 dispatchers and paramedics with specially trained K-9s. These special dogs will become their Battle Buddy and help guide them through the difficult days in life.
