Coco is a 12-year-old Chihuahua in San Antonio, TX, who needs $400 for teeth extraction and labs.

Hello well both parents passed in 2014 had split from my husband and became disabled, so I was very depressed a friend suggested I get a pet. Headed straight to ACS and there he was my knight in shining armor. I was told he had hurt his back and need a home calmer subdued place and not of activity expected of him. That was perfect I'm a cripple he is a cripple PERFECT. So here we are.

He is my hero he is up in age so he doesn't like to do much except be by my side every minute of every day. LOL When I put him down from my bed even for a couple of minutes he's whining right away to get up. He is my baby loves for me to hold him so he can snuggle his head up under my neck. At bedtime he snuggles up behind my knees there he is content as could be.

There isn't any tragic long story, I split from my husband became disabled. The check I get each month bare covers my bills. There is no extra money to spend on anything.

When I first got him I had some regular vet care done on him at that time they pulled some teeth. The vet said tiny dogs like him always have teeth issues, Tried repeatedly to let me brush his teeth but he was having none of that. Now they say all his teeth are bad and need to be pulled you can tell by his behavior that they hurt.

When I'm going to give him a treat I ask him to speak first but he gets so excited he'll bounce up and and and shaking all over that no bark will come out no matter how hard he tries. Lord forbid I need to leave the house when I do get back he'll just bark and bark bark will running in circles till I pick him up.
