Help Soco & Win Big!
I wanted to post and tell everyone about this amazing dog that truly deserves a second chance. His mom Paula Malatesta (currently joined this site), is part of the "Lizard Wizard Animal Palace Rescue" and has saved over 175 rescue animals. Now she is fighting to save one of her own from having to be euthanized due to his condition. Both her and Soco deserve this so much! Please help by donating at least one dollar to her cause at this site below:

And Blanco is his name-O!...Oh?...Uh-Oh
Blanco as a puppy
