Coco is a 10-year-old mix in Spring, TX, who needs $750 for Heart worm treatment.

I rescued Coco from the streets. He has been in the streets for some time now so we decided to bring him into our home. He was in bad shape when we first took him to the vet. He had intestinal parasites, fleas, a bad skin infection, and heart worms . We have managed to get everything under control except for the heart worms. He is currently on preventative and Doxycyclin, but will need treatment.

Coco is a lazy lab boy. He enjoys belly rubs and snuggling. He guards my 2 year old daughter over night as they love snuggling at night. Although he is not as active as other dogs he enjoys sitting outside while I have my morning coffee. Coco has quickly become part of our family and after having so many bad years of hunger, cold, and heat in the streets, he deserves all the love he can get.

Due to the pandemic my husband lost his job and managed to find another but took a huge pay-cut. As a result we no longer have the means to pay for the remaining of his treatment. It would mean the world for us to have Coco healthy again especially for my 2 year old daughter

Luckily we have gotten rid of the parasites, fleas, skin infection, and even managed to grow hair on his back where he used to have scabs due to the infection. The only thing left is the heart worms. We are taking him to Humble Animal Hospital to treat him as soon as we raise the funds to pay for his treatment. We are hoping to cure him and provide a loving home for years to come.

Coco has suffered from abuse so he is extremely sensitive to loud. noises or screams. he will run and hide if you raise your voice even when not directed towards him. He is terrified of thunder and rain. I would imagine anyone would be if they had to live and sleep in all kinds of weather. On rainy days we cuddle and watch movies in my room because its nearly impossible to get him out of that room
