After a 3,000-mile journey filled with love, care, and a whole lot of cuddles, Coco has finally arrived at Moose Lodge Senior Pet Sanctuary! This sweet senior pup traveled across the country from California to Illinois, and we're overjoyed to welcome him into our sanctuary family. His journey and new beginning would not have been possible without the compassion of some amazing people and the generous support from our community.
Coco’s Story: From Abandonment to a Second Chance
Coco’s journey to us started in a supermarket parking lot in San Bernardino, CA, where he was found abandoned. His previous family, sadly, could no longer care for him, but his story didn’t end there. Thankfully, two animal advocates, Susana Avina and Rosie Niku, discovered him and quickly took action. They shared his story online, hoping to find someone who could provide him with the love and security he deserved. That’s when Coco’s story found its way to us here at Moose Lodge.
With the help of our incredible supporters, funds were raised to bring Coco eastward to his new forever home. We’re endlessly grateful for this community that saw the value in giving a senior pet like Coco a second chance.
The Journey Home: Love from Coast to Coast
To bring Coco safely to Moose Lodge, we partnered with USA Animal Transport, where Grace and Dana, two compassionate animal transporters, went above and beyond to make Coco’s journey as smooth and comfortable as possible. Over several days, Grace and Dana made regular stops, giving Coco breaks to stretch, eat, and enjoy some quality cuddle time. Their dedication to Coco’s comfort was so strong that they even contributed to his travel expenses, showing just how deeply they cared for him.
From California to Illinois, Grace and Dana ensured that Coco was treated like royalty every step of the way. And when they arrived, Coco was greeted with open arms and plenty of cozy spots to nap – a must after such a big journey!
Settling In: Coco’s First Day at Moose Lodge
It’s only been a few hours since Coco arrived, but he’s already making himself at home. After exploring his new surroundings and meeting some of the friendly faces here, Coco did what any smart senior pup would do: he curled up for a nap in one of our soft beds. Seeing him so peaceful and relaxed is a true joy and a reminder of why we do what we do.
At Moose Lodge, our mission is to provide senior pets like Coco with a loving, supportive environment where they can spend their golden years surrounded by care and comfort. We’re beyond excited to give Coco the life he deserves, filled with warmth, compassion, and all the naps he could want!
