Mochi is a 7 year old Mix-Breed in Los Angeles, CA, who needs $2,000 for MRI.

As I was walking out of the shelter after an unsuccessful search for a new pet, a man had been walking in and asked me if I had been looking for a dog. I told him yes, and when he showed me Mochi, it was love at first sight. She's been with me and my family ever since.

Mochi has had an on and off issue where she'll suddenly go lame in her front legs (shifting lameness) and cry out. After multiple vet visits they've come to the conclusion that it's most likely compressive cervical myelopathy, or IVDD. There is no way to tell unless she has an MRI to assess the condition. She's being seen at ACCESS emergency hospital.

Mochi has been an absolute blessing to me, not only as my ESA, but also as my best friend. She's saved me countless times and has truly given my life purpose. She has the biggest personality you'll ever see on a dog, and makes an impression on everyone she meets. She's a cuddle bug who loves nothing more than to curl up and people watch, nap, or do just about anything with someone by her side.

Im unable to afford these costs because in disabled and unable to work or generate enough income to cover this. Mochi is my ESA and has learned how to perform tasks to aid me during my episodes. She's my best friend, and I need my happy girl back.
