Mocha Java Chip is a 4-year-old Rottweiler/Terrier Mix in Miami, FL, who needs $1,500 for Dog Cystotomy (Surgical Bladder Stone Removal).

My roommate found a small terrier mix in the middle of the road. Traffic was backed up and when she arrived at an intersection, a man was shoving who we've named Mocha Java Chip onto the sidewalk. When he got back into his car and drove away, Mocha immediately ran back into the intersection. My roommate had to block traffic and scoop Mocha into her arms in the middle of the intersection.

We've already given Mocha Java Chip her vaccinations and rabies shot and registered her under my spouse's name. Mocha is the sweetest dog we've ever met. After we checked her chip and tried contacting the owners, they refused to pick up our phone calls after we asked about her. The fact that she's been through so much and is still as pure hearted as a puppy makes us cry.

Mocha politely asks for cuddles and will gently guide your hand back to her body for pets, she nuzzles and cleans you like a cat, and her favorite things are soft and fluffy. She used a lampchop toy as a pillow until we bought her a sherpa blanket. I just want to give MJ the best, most comfortable life filled with love that she deserves.

After we rescued Mocha, the vet commented on the fact that she was urinating frequently with blood. X-rays and a determined a bladder stone the size of a tennis ball in a 16 pound dog. That size could have only been achieved with gross negligence. After surgery she will need follow ups to remove stitches but she has a great prognosis.

My spouse lost her job due to the covid but was just hired at PetSmart. I have monthly disability benefits so keeping Mocha isn't the issue. We'll be able to afford her continued care. We know if we just get help for this surgery, she can live the life she deserves with us.
