Cooper is a 9-year-old Schnauzer in Indian Trailq, NC, who needs $2,000 for Surgery for Oral Melanoma.

Cooper joined my family as a puppy, he is a great dog he lives with me, my 2 boys , and his step sister Darla and step brother Ronifer. He is a healthy dog enjoys outside and playing with the kids. He waits by the door when he hears me come home from work, hes always at the door waiting patiently. Hes a protector also and snuggler.

Cooper loves to go outside and chase birds, he loves taking walks, he is a snuggler and loves to be by my side. he also loves his treats. He loves to talk , when you ask him a question he trys to answer you , its so adorable. He is the big brother of the other dogs. they look up to him and he shows them the ropes.

I am a single mom i work full time to pay the bills, Cooper is a healthy dog and is only 9 yo. He has more years to come and would benefit from having surgery. I cannot imagine being without him, if surgery is all he needs,.

Cooper was diagnosed with Oral Melanoma on December 31 2020. It was the size of a golfball at the time of the visit to the vet. The dr. did a chest xray and was negative of spreading, also a biopsy of lymphnodes which turned out ok. it has now gotten bigger ( baseball size ) He doesn't really want to eat or drink. It saddens me greatly to think hes in pain,

Cooper is the Man of the house, the other dogs follow him and know that what he says goes, He does not like to go outside in the rain, he doesn't like his paws wet or muddy. Schnauzers have their own personality which makes each one unique. He's pretty laid back and goes with the flow of things . unless hes not up to it.
