A fundraiser has been launched to pay for life-saving surgery for a neglected Frenchie who deserves a ‘second shot at happiness’.
Coco is a French bulldog who arrived at RSPCA Sheffield as part of an animal cruelty case. She was found living in poor conditions, emaciated, and she needed multiple surgeries to treat several medical issues.

This is a group of conditions that is typically seen in dogs selected for shorter noses and flatter faces, and it compromises their ability to breathe normally.
RSPCA Sheffield said: “Coco has already suffered so much in her life, which is why we need your help to ensure she receives this vital surgery and can eventually have a second shot at happiness, with a family who will care and adore her the way she truly deserves to be.”

The shelter added: “Your contribution will make a huge impact to Coco's day to day life and enable her to do the normal things like play and walk without struggling to breathe, whether you donate just £1 or £100. Every little bit helps, and Coco will be so very thankful!”
