Cooper is a 8 year old Border Collie in San Antonio, TX, who needs $2,000 for Hip Replacement Surgery.

Cooper was recused from running into the freeway IH35, when she was two months old. I kept her in my office for the day and decided to keep her, she has been with my family for eight years. We also have a cat named Princess and they are best friends. Cooper was named after Amari Cooper who was a wide receiver and my son's favorite player for the Oakland Raiders.

Cooper needs hip replacement surgery for both hips. Her hips have deteriorated and are causing pain. Her hip sockets have deteriorated, especially the left hip. She has always been active and now she can't run very well. Dr. Giles at Blue Pearl animal hospital in San Antonio at Stone Oak will be performing the surgeries.

My wife Jackie and my special needs son Terry are her favorite people, they are the ones she bonded with, she is my wife's shadow and is very patient caring with my son. She loves being sprayed with the water hose but is scared of thunderstorms and firecrackers. Cooper is always carrying around her bowl or a toy and will use her paws and facial expressions lot to communicate with you,

In April my son spent two weeks in the hospital with a staph infection that went septic. We are still recovering from this and I have to have knee replacement surgery on the 20th of November. It has been a trying year.
