Moca is a 8-year-old Boxer Mix in San Francisco, CA, who needs $2,000 for Tanovea.

In 2017, my husband and I adopted Moca from SFSPCA, her 4th home. Drawn to her goofy personality, we were smitten when she rolled over for belly rubs at our first meeting. Moca's sweet nature and beauty instantly stole our hearts. We showered her with love, treats, and her first toy, a squirrel plush. She effortlessly fit into our lives, getting along with everyone and loving the company of guests

Moca's my constant shadow, our bond unspoken yet profound. More than a pet, she's our beloved baby girl, completing our family like the final puzzle piece. Her care during COVID and joy for walks deepen our connection. She would take turns going to the rooms we were working on making sure to give us kisses and her plat time with her fav toys.

Moca embodies both intelligence and sweetness; she adores cuddles and kisses, reveling in being showered with affection. Her magnetic personality attracts not only us but also our family and friends, who adore spending time with her. There's a calming aura about her that puts everyone at ease. During my husband's father's battle with cancer, Moca intuitively provided him with extra love. She knew.

At the beginning of the year, Moca began showing signs of slowing down, which we initially attributed to arthritis. However, after undergoing lab tests, the veterinarian recommended consulting an oncologist. Sadly, Moca was diagnosed with leukemia and lymphoma. It's devastating news for us; there's nothing we could have done to prevent it. We want more time, we want Moca to enjoy life at home.

Last year, during my husband's year-long layoff, we faced significant financial strain and emotional turmoil. Moca, my loyal companion of 7+, has been my pillar of strength. Now, despite my efforts, I find it challenging to afford her treatments the way I would like too.
