Help Cooper the service dog

Cooper is a small dog with a very big job. He is a trained service dog for his owner, Caroline, who is deaf. Cooper alerts her to sounds and helps her feel confident and safe going out for walks and managing day-to-day life.

Caroline and Cooper are best friends. Cooper injured the cruciate ligament in his hind leg. His knee is now uncomfortable, and he is unable to get around the way he needs to.

Surgery has been recommended as a good option for his comfort and long-term mobility.

Caroline can’t apply for another service dog while Cooper is still with her, so she is currently without his support.

The surgery comes at a cost, on top of the vet visits, medications and rehab Caroline has already paid for, plus his post-op care. She lives on a pensioner's income and anything towards his costs helps.

Our goal is to raise $7,000 to help cover Cooper’s surgery, some of the costs already incurred, his follow-up care and fees associated with his care. Every little bit will make a real difference to both Cooper and Caroline.

If you are able to donate or share, thank you so much for helping Cooper get the surgery he needs so he can walk comfortably again and return to his important role as Caroline’s service dog and best friend.
