Coco is a 2-year-old Labrador in Fenton, MI, who needs $2,000 for TPLO surgery.

We bought Coco when she was about 5 months. She is a pure bred Chocolate Labrador who is 95 lbs of pure love. She lives with my husband, our 3 little daughters and myself. We live in a small neighborhood and have a small yard with no fence so Coco only gets to be outside on a leash or chain. However, she loves going for walks, playing in the deep snow, and even relaxing outside in the sun.

Coco is a great guard dog but knows how to be gentle when playing with our girls. She lets our daughters climb all over her and even snuggle. Coco is a very loving and gentle dog, especially around children. She loves to wrestle with my husband and play tug of war. Coco loves running around outside with her best dog friend Winston.

My husband is currently a 4th year medical student and I am a stay at home mom. Our only income is through student loans until my husband graduates from medical school. We need help paying for potentially surgery on both hind legs so we can get Coco running around again.

Coco fell in a grate that was under a snow drift. She was unable to put any weight on her right hind leg. We found out she tore a ligament in her knee. From having all her weight on the left hind leg, the veterinarian believes that ligament tore too. She is being seen at Oakland Veterinary Referral Services in Bloomfield Hills, MI.

Coco loves running around the house in the dark with our daughters while they scream and pretend like she is a monster. Coco plays fetch with herself by throwing a ball up in the air and chasing it after it bounces. She also tries to do it with her bones. When coco naps, she often lays on her back with all her feet in the air.
