Pet of the Week: Coco
SPARTANBURG, S.C. (WSPA) – It's Monday and that means another Pet of the Week! This week's featured pet is Coco.
Coco is a 10-year-old chihuahua mix who is ready to find his fur-ever home! Coco is more compatible with a quieter home, as he's a little on the shy side, but is described as being very sweet by the humane society's Angel Cox.
Coco has already been neutered and microchipped and can be adopted as soon as Monday!
It costs $95 to adopt Coco. Adoption fees include six nights of boarding at Southport Kennel, five days of daycare at Hounds Town and an engraved tag from Paisley Paw. It also includes six months of heartworm prevention.
If you are interested in adopting Coco, or any animal needing a home, visit the Spartanburg Humane Society at 150 Dexter Road.

Spartanburg Co. shares new Helene recovery data
SPARTANBURG COUNTY, S.C. (WSPA) – The Spartanburg County Emergency Management is asking residents what the community needs to recover from Hurricane Helene. Emergency Management shared in a media release that newly updated Helene data revealed many members of the community still have a lot of unmet needs. Data from the agency revealed that, as of June 2025, more than 500 properties in Spartanburg County have still not recovered from Helene. These unmet needs can range from tree damage to shorted HVAC systems, but data further shows that a majority of community needs focus on debris assistance and home damage. A majority of people seeking aid are also over the age of 65. 'At this time, there are more unmet needs than resources,' said Emergency Management. To help address community needs, Emergency Management established a new Long Term Recovery Group that is dedicated to Helene Recovery. The group has officially partnered with the Spartanburg County Foundation, United Way and others. For anyone still requiring assistance from Hurricane Helene, Emergency Management asked that they provide information regarding their needs. Spartanburg residents can find the link to share their needs here. Emergency Management asks county members to donate or volunteer with a local non-profit, such as Rebuilding Together, Eight Days of Hope, Team Rubicon and more, if in a well enough position to assist their community.

Staff Accepts Dogs—Realize They Have Puppy Shelter 'Didn't Mean to Send'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A Chicago shelter welcomed in a transfer of puppies from Memphis, but what they discovered was an extra dog among that bunch that didn't belong. Scott runs the Instagram account @4evertails and volunteers at local animal shelters across Chicago. He uses his social media to show off the available dogs in need of forever homes. And his recent day with Pimiento quickly melted hearts. Pimiento, a 4-month-old pit bull mix, lived in a shelter in West Memphis. However, he somehow managed to get "scooped into the wrong squad," the caption on Scott's June 9 Instagram video said. That squad was a litter of puppies that was being transferred to One Tail at a Time, an animal rescue based in Chicago. During Pimiento's day with Scott, the two went out for a walk in the city, where people came up to pet the pup. He made sure people knew Pimiento was available for adoption. Scott showed off the dog's unique stature—short and long, with front paws that bow out. He even snapped pictures of the pup to give him a better shot at adoption, as good photos can help pets get adopted faster and attract potential adopters to shelters, an article from PetFinder states. "[The shelter] had said they would take him back, but One Tail is an incredible organization, and any dog that comes under their care, they will do everything to get adopted," Scott told Newsweek. The Memphis shelter "didn't mean to send" Pimiento along with the puppies, but as it turned out, everything happens for a reason; he has been adopted and is officially off the market. Screenshots from a June 9 Instagram video of a shelter volunteer taking out a 4-month-old puppy after the dog was accidentally transferred to that location.

People fell in love with this pup, calling him the "cutest dog." "I would carry him everywhere. He's amazing," wrote one viewer, to which Scott replied he was doing that on their walk: "His little legs could only get him so far." Another added: "Love his sitting pose, such a cutie pie." A third person commented: "I love the flippers." One Tail at a Time even chimed in: "The sweetest and silliest little guy! Thanks for showing him off."

Owner Sends Puppy to Doggy Day Care To 'Socialize,' Then Checks the Camera
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A dog owner who wanted to help her puppy socialize, sent him to day care to be with other pups. When she checked the camera, she realized her plan didn't work. In a viral Instagram video shared in May under the username @wolfdendiaries, the poster says, "Me sending my dog to day care to socialize and make friends since he is so people obsessed," as footage of her cute puppy plays in the background. "Meanwhile my dog at day care," she continues, showing footage recorded by the day care camera showing the little puppy enjoying his time with a carer, who picks him up and snuggles him. "Maybe next time, so happy the workers were so kind and welcoming to him though!!! I literally was just watching him on the camera the entire time having separation anxiety," she wrote in the caption. Socializing a puppy is not just about teaching them how to make friends. Exposure to other canines also helps them accept everything around them and react without fear, according to Veterinary Partner. The medical website says that socialization is especially important for animals who are orphans, because the lack of interaction with their mother and siblings has left them without basis as to how to behave around others. The best time for socialization is between 3 and 14 weeks of age. The experiences they learn during this key period of socialization will shape the way they will act around others in the future. Socialization is important because social dogs get more exercise and have more fun. They are also easier to groom, and handle exams by veterinarians more easily. They also tend to have less fear and anxiety, and are less prone to aggression. Stock photo: A small puppy stands near a crate playing with toys.

One user, Mermaid8dreamz, commented: "If I saw a puppy like this … I'd hold them the whole time too." Gabblt25 posted: "My pup goes to doggy day care and only interacts/sits next to/follows the employees … I have never seen him even interact with another dog." Mingo3916 added: "Mine sits up at the front desk and 'helps' them work." Newsweek reached out to @wolfdendiaries for comment via Instagram comments. We could not verify the details of the case.
