Coco is a 1-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier-mixed breed, in Tucson, AZ, who needs $1,418 for the treatment of seizures.

I've owned my dog for about a year now. When I adopted her it was right after the death of my kitten and my grandmother picked her out. She half growled at me in the kennel and turned away from us but when we took her out she was all cuddles and love. She started having seizures at about 11 months old. When we adopted her the shelter we got her from did not disclose the possibility of her being exposed to distemper. It was a fight to get them to take her back and treat her. She had 38 seizures in a series of 48 hours and is lucky to be alive by all standards. She was stable for about a year until July when she started having break through cluster seizures. She is my companion in everything and has helped me get through PTSD from prior relationships and extreme anxiety as well as a recent diagnosis of bipolar disorder.
