Roger Wilson hasn't added a story.
Hi,
My name is Roger Wilson and I live in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. My family and I adopted Cooper at a local shelter in 2012 and since joining our family he and I have become best of friends. Cooper is an amazing dog and he is friendly to everyone but he has had a run of bad luck.
In 2014 while chasing a squirrel he scratched is left eye on a tree branch and he ended up spending a number of days in the animal hospital in a great deal of pain. The vet was able to save his physical eye but not his sight, Cooper is pretty resilient though and he bounced back pretty fast and was running around in no time. However in 2015 Cooper had a growth show up on one of his middle toes on his front right paw. The growth was a mass cell tumor so it had to come off, but because where it was located on the toe the vet also had to remove the physical toe. As resilient as he is Cooper bounced back again but just a little slower, he walks with a bit of a limp when walking on hard surfaces like cement. He still loves his walks. The costs for these previous health issues added up and I am still paying back the debt so I am not in a position where I can cover the costs for the necessary treatments that he now needs. I am reaching out to you in hopes you can help me cover the costs to give Cooper a few more years to run around and enjoy his life.
Cooper has become more then just a pet. In 2016 my partner and I separated after 20 years and she and our kids now live elsewhere. Cooper became a true friend and provided support that I never even imagined was possible. I want to share a short story about Cooper and why he deserves more time.
I live with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Major Depression and Anxiety so when my partner and I separated these health issues became harder to cope with and Cooper became a support system for me. This became obvious one day when we were sitting alongside the Rideau River in Ottawa. I was having a pretty bad day and was struggling and Cooper knew something was wrong and he walked up to me and sat down behind me and he raised his paw and put it on my shoulder, we sat there for about 10 minutes before he took the paw off. Cooper is my unofficial support dog.
At this point I don't know if the tumors are cancerous but because they are mass cell tumors I would like to have them removed sooner then later because they do bleed.
Presently Cooper has 3 mass cell tumors that need to be removed, one is on his back right leg, another one is on his groin area and the third one is on his hip. Cooper also needs some dental work completed he needs his teeth cleaned and to have epulis growths removed from inside his mouth.
My vet has provided me with a quote for having the above treatment covered so the amount of money I am hoping to raise with this campaign will cover these expenses as well it will cover the percentage of the raised fees that go back to Fundrazr for offering their crowdfunding services.
