Cocoa is a 1-year-old Mountain Bernese/English Springer Spaniel in Edwardsville, PA, who needs $240 for spay surgery.

I received Cocoa in Feb as a rescue. She and her siblings were found in a snowbank during a winter storm. And since I have been looking for a service animal my friend knew she would be perfect. I live in a studio and have 2 cats as well that she loves. She is smart, has golden eyes that make you melt and is very lovable!

I live alone so no family members. She still is timid so taking treats from your hand, fetching a ball or a squeaky toy is still very new to her. She does like to go for walks and play tug a war with her leash. And loves to cuddle at night while watching TV or sleeping. I never feel alone knowing she is right by my side.

I am disabled on disability, after rent and bills it's hard getting that much money up for her. It would take months for me to even save that. And once she is taken care of I know she will be a much healthier dog!

Right now getting her to the vet for her first round of shots, examination and have her spay is the most important thing to me right now. Especially since she will eventually be trained as my service animal due to my mobility problems. I'll be taking her to Trucksville Dog & Cat hospital, Trucksville PA. And Dr Staire is the best in the Valley!

Cocoa's eyes light up and ears go up when I even mention a treat. She will sit and give a paw, but still learning other new tricks. Loves her butt rubbed and smiles from ear to ear when done so!! Even if you say, "want to go out?" She starts to smile and get excited! Even if it's just a short walk or to let her listen to.the sou ds outside. She is just so sweet!
