Hi everyone,

Our dog Coco is a beautiful 8 year old chocolate Labradoodle who needs your help.

He was recently diagnosed with a large malignant tumour growing on his anal glands. This tumour will kill him unless he has surgery to remove it, followed up by chemotherapy and radiation. We have already spent several thousand dollars to diagnose the cancer and surgery alone will cost at least $8,000. The chemotherapy and radiation is necessary to stop the tumour growing back and spreading throughout his body. This treatment will cost more than $10,000. Coco needs to have the surgery as soon as possible as the tumour is growing quickly.

Coco is the eldest of three other dog brothers and sisters. He is their leader and they will miss him terribly if he passes away in the next few months. He is a very loving and affectionate boy who has brought much love and joy to our family, as well as to the residents of a number of aged care homes that Coco visited before Covid struck. Our young granddaughter absolutely adores Coco and one of her first words was "Toco".

We would be very appreciative of any donation, large or small, to help Coco have his life-saving surgery and follow-up treatment.
