Do you remember little Connie? That tiny, fragile pup of barely 2 kilos… badly hurt, yet somehow still alive against all odds.
She was rescued from the streets and brought to Center of Hope hospital and treated under our Homeless Animal Hospital social program. It's hard to believe that this poor little soul was abandoned and left to her own fate. We don't understand who could do such a thing. And hit with a blunt force so hard that it destroyed her eye.....unimaginable.
But after a month of recovery and treatment, including removal of her painful eye, Coco (formerly Connie) was welcome with open arms into a loving family. Something she had never dreamed of.
And just look at her now! Together with her big brother Chase, she’s truly enjoying life in Holland.
Her family writes: “Coco has grown so much—not just in weight, but especially in her confidence and puppy spirit.... Coco found it scary at first to do things on her own, but she did so well! Where she used to bark at everything, she now walks along more relaxed and happily skips down the street. We even went to a café terrace during a walk in the dunes, and she sat there calmly, watching the world go by. She’s a real little diva ...sometimes she can be a little cheeky (which secretly makes us laugh).
My son said it beautifully today during a walk: ‘Mom, Coco is always so happy!’
Just look at that picture with the football—pure gold, isn’t it?"
This is exactly what we do it all for! Not just that one photo, but the entire transformation is pure gold. And all thanks to our donors and adoption partners.
Thanks to all of YOU who allowed us to treat Coco when no one else would.
