Senior Dog Who Lived Her Whole Life On The Streets Rescued After Being Run Over And Left For Dead
Houston, Texas. 12-year-old Coco is an adorable older dog who spent her entire life living on the streets of Houston.
At some point in her life on the streets, Coco got run over by a car and was left for dead. Her luck changed when a local rescue learned about her.
When they went looking for her, they discovered her hiding beneath a bush out in a bed of flowers.
Coco couldn’t even move by the time help arrived for her.

She spent at least several days under that bush without any medical attention, and she’s lucky to still be alive, especially after you hear about all of the things she was suffering from.
“Imagine being a helpless dog, homeless your whole life. Wandering the streets looking for food, looking for a kind human,” the Forgotten Pet Advocates wrote in a Facebook post.
“At some point chained to a fence, chained to a porch, people who wanted you to “alert” when strangers approached, then when they were done with you – unhook and off you are again.”
“Sometimes so much better off than what you just endured. This has been Coco’s life for the past 10 or so years! Now Coco is a senior.”

“Her senses are not what they use to be. She cannot hear very well; she was sleeping in the street and someone ran over her. One of the people on the street, treated her mangled tail with hydrogen peroxide and Neosporin and left her to die.”
“She has pellets riddled all over her body,” they continued in their post shortly after Coco was transferred to their care.
“She has a screw and rocks in her stomach. Her tail had to be amputated. She has NEVER had a soft bed. She has never had a human love her.”

It’s sad that she spent a decade or longer on the streets of Houston, and nobody tried to help her during that entire time.
Although Coco did lose her tail, she never lost her love for people and is one of the kindest dogs alive.
Now, Coco is up for adoption and looking for a new home where she can be the only dog for you to love on.
