Amazing!


Ricardo and volunteer Lisa at Coco's helping the dogs recover from their surgery


These two rescued from the pound today


recovery


also saved from the pound today


This is the dog who has TVT


This is a photo of her tumour. She is safe now and after a few weeks of chemo she will be much much better and soon cured!
I have heard from several people that Ricardo is a saint. I think I'd have to agree with that. The poor dog with the TVT... That is a huge tumour!!
I hope she gets on the mend soon!

Thank you Coco's & Ricardo for helping these dogs. Thanks to Dr. Edgar for spaying/neutering!!

While we are in Playa in June, I am going to be arranging a food drive/fundraiser for both Ricardo and Coco's. The reason being? The great working relationship they have together.

Together animal charities can make a difference. I will give details on where and when as our trip gets closer.

I really appreciate all of the great things that they do together and I want to do something to help. If anyone is interested in assisting, please let me know.

Unfortunately, we won't be able to attend, but looking forward to the details. You always have great fundraising ideas, Trish and I'm sure this time will be no different. Good Luck

And a big big thank you to Coco's Edgar and of course Ricardo!!

We rescued this dog from the pound today. Lisa met her on Saturday with Ricardo however they had to leave her behind at rhe pound as there was no more space in Ricardos cat.She will be going to Canada through CANDI however we need a foster home for her for aprox 1 month while she has vaccinations and care. Is there anyone who can foster this dog? She is about 3 years old, small and sweet. She just tested negative for heart worm however she did test postivie for anaplasma an illness you get from ticks. She has demodex mange however this is not contagious.Both are treatable and she will be healthy soon.
