Coco

My story

Coco and her offspring Cookie were surrendered to Valley Humane Society on 7/28 when their previous owner could no longer afford their care. Coco enjoys getting out on walks and exploring. She loves car rides. She would ideally like to be adopted with Cookie. Coco weighs 19.6 pounds.This dog has a condition called `luxating patella.` This means that her knee caps on her hind legs may spontaneously pop out of place, resulting in lameness and pain. At this time, her luxating patellas are a Grade 1 out of 4 (where 1 is the least severe and 4 is the most severe). This means that the knee cap is loose and may move in and out of place spontaneously as she walks. At this time, the luxating patellas does not affect her gait and do not appear to cause lameness. Luxating patellas can be corrected by surgery and adopters may choose this route at their expense. If surgery is not pursued, the dog may develop arthritis in the knee joint. Arthritis can be treated with anti-inflammatory medication made for dogs.Do you have questions about this animal or are you ready to take the next step to adoption?
