I want to truly and deeply thank each and everyone of you who commented, emoted, or send me thoughts/light/prayers this week, while I grieved the loss of my girl.

I haven't really been capable of replying to messages/comments and I am sorry for that but your kind words are appreciated. Cocoa's Chance and I had a rollar coaster of a journey together but I'd do it all again in a heartbeat, just a bit better.

Below are are her paw and nose print and they are something I will forever treasure. Run free sweet girl, enjoy your time with your pups :)

I haven't updated in a while because Co has been doing alright but this morning she scared me and I thought I'd lost her. She seems alright now, she just was probably sleeping Soo good.

Just a reminder that she can still go anytime due to the enlarged heart but we hope and pray for one more day, each and every day.

Welcome to Cocoa’s Chance. This page is dedicated to saving one dog who has had a rough start in life, and now has only one chance at having a life at all. Cocoa is not famous. She has not been in the news. There is nothing overly special about her. She is just one of far too many dogs who have been neglected, possibly abused, and thrown away when she became inconvenient. She was found tied to the fence of a local shelter. She was heavily pregnant. A local rescue saved her from the horrible prospect of having her babies in the shelter and found her a foster home. She was suffering from Kennel cough. But just 4 short days after finding safety, those fosters had a family emergency and she was again facing life and birth in the stressful environment of the shelter. That’s where we came in.
We took her in at the last minute. Just hours after picking her up, she starting having her puppies. And she had an enormous litter! Sadly, she had at least 4 and perhaps as many as 6 miscarriages…and 2 puppies died at birth. She had 12 live puppies. Worst of all, over the next week, she and we suffered the numbing sadness of losing every single one of those beautiful babies to the Kennel cough passed on to them by their mother.
Cocoa went into a deep depression, and we worked hard to help her overcome it. But then a new problem arose. Cocoa is dog aggressive, VERY dog aggressive! She has been deemed unadoptable if we cannot rehabilitate her. If we are unable to find a way to fix this problem, Cocoa will be put down. She is the sweetest, most loving dog! She’s gentle and snuggly. She learns so fast, and she’s so smart. She will be a perfect dog…if we can rehabilitate her…if she lives.
Please like and share Cocoa’s chance to everyone you know. Help us save this sweet girl. We (have a) are setting up a fundly account going to raise the funds to send her to Michael Mehtala’s training center in Oklahoma. We are traveling 850 miles each way, just to give this girl her one chance to live a full life. She is only a baby herself, only 1 year old, maybe 1 ½ yrs old at most.
If you can give, that’s wonderful. If you can’t (and not everyone can), please just share her page. No dog should have to live through what Cocoa has, only to end her very short life in a vet’s office because of one behavior issue. Help us help Cocoa. She thanks you! And so do we!
