Loka is a 3 year old French Bulldog in Anderson, CA, who needs $1,800 for Emergency C-section for Unplanned Pregnancy.

A homeless couple was standing under an awning trying to stay out of the rain, and Loka was with them. She was soaked, shivering, and clearly not being cared for in a stable or safe environment. They told me they couldn’t keep her or provide for her anymore.
I couldn’t walk away from her. I brought her home that day, and I’ve been caring for her ever since. She means EVERYTHING to me.

Loka is now facing a medical situation that requires urgent attention. She is pregnant, and based on her size, breed mix, and the way her pregnancy is progressing, my veterinarian has warned that she may not be able to deliver safely on her own. There is a strong possibility she will need a C‑section to prevent complications that could put both her and the puppies at risk.

Loka has the sweetest, most gentle personality. She’s playful and goofy when she feels safe, she’s incredibly intuitive. she seems to sense when I’m stressed or overwhelmed and will come lay her head on my lap as if she’s reminding me that we’re in this together. She follows me from room to room, and greets me every morning with her tail wagging like she's genuinely happy to just be next to me.

I am a single college student trying to support myself. I lost my mom over a year ago, and since then I haven’t had any family or financial support. It’s really just Loka and me. I’m doing my best to manage school, rent, and basic living expenses.
