Cooper is a 14-year-old Peek a Poo in Haines City, FL, who needs $900 for Cancer Treatment.

We purchased Cooper as a puppy and he has been our constant companion ever since. He had a brother, Tucker a Shih Tzu for 12 years and a sister, Marley, a lab mix who we had for 6 years, both rescues who he loved dearly. He now has two sisters both lab mix rescues. Cooper loves his 3 human siblings and his little nieces who give him unlimited hugs. His tail wags like crazy when they visit.

Cooper is crate trained but sleeps with us, he curls up right behind my knees or against my back, he's a momma's boy. He lets his much bigger sisters (lab mixes) know mom is his cuddle buddy and they comply. My husband wont admit it but Cooper is his little buddy. Cooper rules the house but is a gentle little guy. He thinks he's a big dog, has no fear but wouldn't hurt a fly.

Cooper has been my constant for the past 14 years and I pray he has 14 more. You can tell its not his time, he still bounces around like he is a puppy. I call Cooper my little Diva, he lets you know he's here...if you are not paying attention to him he makes his presence know. After the groomers he knows he looks good and struts out with his little" look at me, I look good" swagger.

Cooper was doing great with no issues until he started losing weight and we discovered a lump on his thyroid. We were told by an emergency vet we should put him down. It wasn't his time, his vets at Orchid Springs agreed and found Animal Cancer Care Clinic. Once on thyroid and heart meds he bounced back and we started a chemo regiment, he is responding well thanks to his team of vets who care.

We had a small emergency fund, now empty and have charged Coopers care since April , Cooper is my world. Cooper is family and he gets the same medical care as any family member. He will be on Thyroid/Heart meds for the rest of his life, just need him to be cancer free.
