All of the animals that come to Camp Coco looking for their furrever home become Coco's Comrades.
Here are their stories.
Frank
Frank was brought into the shelter after being hit by a car, he was frail and lost, clearly far from what used to be his home. Frank suffered from severe arthritis and was malnourished. He was intact when he came to the shelter and had a botched procedure to "neuter" him. This was the first medical case that Camp Coco took in. With low funds, it was diffuclt. Frank was treated with homemade oatmeal baths, chamomile pastes and his scrotum was cleansed and bandaged. He rocked boxers and learned to love. He would growl at touch, but then began to slowly warm up. He had never been on a couch before, yet he knew many tricks. Frank had a home, but was disposed of when he was expired. Frank is the best story for seniors as he now is living in Missippi with a loving owner and fur siblings, his energy was brought back to life and he may live out the rest of his years.
Ginger
Ginger was rescued from the euthanasia list at the Hillsborough Pet Resource center. She suffered from kennel stress and was listed as an aggressive dog. Ginger just needed patience and a few days of destressing, she now shares many furry friendships and has a loving owner.
Evie
Evie was rescue from Hillsborough Pet Resource as a stray by founder Ava Garrett.
Buba
Buba was dumped at the same shelter that he had been born in 10 years earlier. He was separated from his bonded brother and left depressed and hopeless. Lauren took Buba into her home and made him a part of the official Camp Coco comrade staff.
