Coco is a 12-year-old Dachshund in College Park, MD, who needs $2,000 for dental surgery and tests.

When Little Paws Dachshund Rescue heard about two senior dogs, Coco and Maxi, who were dumped at a shelter it broke their hearts. "Both are in horrible condition, believed to have been living outside as they were filthy," Julie J. with the rescue tells Waggle.

The group wasted no time and launched a mission to save the bonded pair. First, they found a foster home where the dogs could stay together. Then the rescue discovered that both Coco and Maxi need veterinarian care immediately. Coco is scheduled for blood work and dental surgery at Paws and Claws Animal Clinic.

Though Coco and Maxi have health issues, they are so excited to be out of the animal shelter and together. "Coco is very dependent on his partner and loves to snuggle beside him," Julie says. "After only one day in his foster home, Coco is adjusting and even wagging his tail. He is happy to be in a safe, loving foster home."

Little Paws Dachshund Rescue is a nonprofit group that helps provide medical care for all the dogs the group saves. They rely solely on donations and hope Waggle's generous community of pet lovers will help this senior pair so they can be adopted together and live happily ever after.
