Cooper is a 9 year old Miniature Australian Shepherd in Castle Rock, CO, who needs $10,000 for Blood Transfusion (Plasma & Proteins).

Cooper is the type of dog people tell stories about! I swear he is a little boy reincarnated as a dog. From the day we brought him home you could have sworn he understood English. He is intuitive, affectionate, so smart and quick to train, he aimed to please us in so many ways. Truly a man's best friend. As a young puppy he did fun tricks, like jump through a hula hoop, spin on his hind legs.

He has Lyme's disease and infected kidneys. It happened very fast over just a few weeks. We live in CO but used to live in VA where he was bit by a deer tick. The disease stayed dormant for years, then just started to spead. He requires blood transfusion, plasma, blood proteins and antibiotics. The vets say it is a treatable but expensive. Veterinary Specialist of the Rockies.

Cooper is the goodest boi! He is by our side and protective of our kids always. He is playful and full of life with his buddy Koa. He is so intuitive and can understand us so well you'd think he knew English. Everyone who meets him is impressed how well behaved and happy of a dog he is. He can do fun party tricks and loves to cuddles close after a long day of fun. He is a true member of our family

This is a extremely rare situation, less than 5% of dogs with Lyme's disease ever have issues. He still has a lot of life in him! We are a family of 5 on one income, and he is the sweetest boy! We love him so much and just need him to come home.
