Cocoa is a 8 month old Mix-Breed in South Bend, IN, who needs $7,000 for Plate/Pin Bone Surgery.

This is Cocoa, my gift! I have trained her as my Psychiatric Service dog and she has done BEAUTIFULLY! Her sister Hazel recently came to join us and, in play, Cocoa was struck by a vehicle. Her injuries have caused her to need surgery and am seeking out assistance in any way that will help her!

Cocoa is in need of surgery for her broken leg, due to the location of the break, she will need a metal plate and pin. We have so far gotten her Xrays and are ready to talk to the surgeon about next steps! She was seen at Plymouth Veterinary Clinic. They've done an AMAZING job!

Cocoa not only has trained for Psychiatric Service (rare), she loves people, ALL animals, and even puts her own toys away (so sweet)! She has brought the dog-fear to a stop for many individuals and loves elderly and children. This bundle of joy has made life livable for me again and I am seeking to do the same for her!

I am enrolled to begin college this summer due to recent job loss and am a single mother of 7 beautiful children who's lives Cocoa is changing also as she helps their mother (me) with daily tasks that are otherwise challenging..
