Cooper is a 4-year-old Maltese in East Haven, CT, who needs $1,300 for Laminectomy.

Cooper came to our family as a rescue in the winter of 2019, very unexpectedly as a puppy. We weren't sure if we would keep him as we had our senior Boxer, but they became best friends instantly. Cooper instantly became the little comedian and light of our home. He currently is the man of the house and I'm sure waiting to come home after his surgery is completed!!

Cooper recently lost his best friend and pet companion Leo in August 2022. He was integral to providing company and friendship to Leo during his last years. At this time Cooper lives at home where he is doted on daily by with myself, my mother and his beloved Auntie Sarah. He loves to cuddle on the couch and watch TV or run around outside with the neighborhood pups.

If you want to meet the sweetest, most rambunctious Maltese, look no further because that Cooper. Cooper is truly the kindest little guy who makes every he meets fall in love with him. He loves to dance, running on the beach and playing with other pups. Cooper has become such an integral part of our family and has made our home feel complete. Words cannot describe the love we have for him.

Our Sweet boy Cooper suffered an unfortunate accident after a family outing which caused him to suffer a Spinal Injury, with loss of mobility to his back legs. His neurologist is confident that Cooper will make a full recovery with a Laminectomy to remove a herniated disc!

Coopers estimate for the procedure is around $4500. As this accident happened suddenly, our family has been able to cover the diagnostic testing and ER visits, but not the full funds required for his surgery. Unfortunately, his pet insurance did not help cover costs.
