“Hi I’m CoCo but my real name is actually…CoCo Chanel-Miss Diva Doggy!I am a 5-1/2 year old Shih-Poo (Shih-tzu/Poodle Mix) and I was born on June 1, 2006. My mommy rescued me 5-1/2 years ago from a dog fighting ring in Miami, Florida where I was used as a bait dog. I was 6 weeks old and when she found me I was in really bad shape…nothing but a tiny ball of bloody/matted fur that whimpered and shook and NO ONE really thought that I would survive! In total…I had my tail bitten in half, a piece of ear torn off, puncture wounds on my head, side, backside, hind quarters, jaw, & chest and my underside had been filleted open! I had many surgeries and 8 months of recovery before I was adopted by my foster mommy! When she got cancer…I went and got certified as a therapy dog so I could be with her before, during and after her treatments. She is very sick but me and God are keeping watch over her and loving her!”
