Cooper is a 6 year old Yorkshire Terrier in Lombard, IL, who needs $2,000 for Sialoadenectomy.

We wanted a 2nd dog & instantly fell in love with him in 2019 by perusing a dog store (don't judge). We brought Carmen to the store to make sure she approved. They got along fine & brought him home that day! He fit right in at Ongdepot.

Around November/December 2024, Cooper developed a salivary mucocele around his lower left throat area. It started to grow & had to get it drained 3 times for a total of 100ml & each time increases his risk for indescribable. The treatment for salivary mucocele is surgery, also called sialoadenectomy. Local hospital is $7000. Teaching hospital UIUC & purdue are $5000.

He has been a part of our family for 6 years. He was hospitalized the 1st week we had him with respiratory issues. He is such a loving dog. Everyone who gets to play with him loves him! He has that kind of aura.

Julia will be going to graduate school. Jonas will be starting college this fall. Jayne will be in college next year. Funds are tight at the Ongdepot. I don't usually ask for anything for my b-day, but I would love a little help to pay for Cooper's surgery.
