Coco Puff is a 2-year-old Black Labrador in Central Point , OR, who needs $2,000 for Exploratory Surgery.

Coco is a very important member of our family. He came to us from my girls' father. His golden lab had a litter. At first I didn't want another pet because they are a huge responsibility but that changed after the girls' father died. It became clear that we needed to add Coco to our family!! He has helped us all to grieve and selflessly given us his love and attention.

Coco is spoiled!! He is the center of attention as he is the youngest of our family and he is also the only male. We are all girls including 1 other 13 year old dog (ELBY) whom I've had since she was 5 months old and 2 cats. He is energetic and playful. He takes us on walks daily, teaches us how to throw the ball and watches our every move,. There is no privacy in our household!

He knew exactly how to help us heal. We were already grieving the loss of our home from the 2020 Almeda Fire in Oregon, then the girls' dad died in 2021! It was a lot!! Coco is a huge cuddle bug, loves giving kisses and listens intently. He holds a special memory for my girls' and reminds them that their father is always in their hearts. He's not just a pet, he is our guardian angel!!

He began to occasionally vomit a few hours after eating but was still acting normal and going potty. I began to adjust his dog food in case of an allergy. I de-wormed him and started making my own dog food but the vomiting began to progress and he began to lose weight. I brought him into the vet today 1-25-2024 and they found a NeeDoh ball in his stomach. He needs surgery to remove it.

I'm maxed out on all my credit cards and was denied care credit. I have other debt and can not get a personal loan and I'm already struggling to pay my bills as they are more than my current income. We can't lose Coco, it would devastate us.
