Coco is a 5-year-old Boxer in American Fork, UT, who needs $1,600 for a Tumor Removal, Lacuna Cytology.

Coco was born to a breeder who decided he couldn't sell her because she is a white boxer so he was going to take her to a shelter. I offered to pay what I could and took her instead. She is currently living with my parents because they have an older dog and Coco keeps her active. Although I plan on bringing her home very soon.

Coco lives with my parents at the moment. They have a dog named Jack that Coco likes to play with and keep active. Coco has a really silly, goofy personality that everyone loves. She is a very sweet dog when she gets to know people but can be nervous around new people or other dogs because she has been attacked before and got part of her ear bit off.

I'm in a program to help get my debt paid, they cancelled my cards and I am unable to open any lines of credit until it is all paid. I work assisting people with intellectual disabilities, although I love my job it pays poorly. Coco is special to everyone she meets.

Coco was diagnosed with a mast cell tumor on her front right leg by Rebecca Chipman at Banfield pet hospital. They referred me to Chelsea Greenberg at Blu Pearl pet hospital. She suggested I remove the tumor as soon as possible and do a chest x ray and abdominal ultrasound to make sure it hasn't spread. As well as giving Coco famotidine (Pepcid) and diphenhydramine twice a day until surgery.

Coco is a big, odd, sweetheart. When you lean down towards her face she will put her head over your shoulder and "hug" you. She can jump very high, i've seen her jump higher than fences she is behind but she doesn't try to go over them. She is good at communicating what she wants by whining softly until you look at her then looking in the direction of what she wants and repeating over and over.
