Mojo is a 6 year old Pug in Pasadena, CA, who needs $1,725 for MCT Vulva Reconstruction, UTI Treatments.

When I first rescued Mojo, a breeder mama from the desert, she was looking for her babies and starving— ribs showing, and weighed only 14 pounds. I brought her home and discovered she suffered from severe brachycephalic airway issues — including an elongated soft palate causing dangerous breathing obstruction, requiring a soft palate resection (staphylectomy) to help her breathe safely.

Over the past two years, Mojo has endured multiple major health challenges. She’s had recurring UTIs needing repeated treatments, major dental surgery removing eight teeth, & mast cell cancer (MCT) surgery with four surgical sites. Despite all this, she’s persevered with strength, love and joy, even when costs became overwhelming. All surgeries were done at Metropolitan Animal Specialty Hospital.

Today Mojo is thriving — her breathing is improved, UTIs are resolved, and cancer treatments are behind her. She’s full of energy, loves cuddles and treats, and has grown from 14 pounds to a healthier 17 pounds. But the vet bills from her life-saving care remain, and I’ve exhausted my resources after losing my job during Covid and being on disability, leaving us needing community support.

This is Round 1 with a goal of $1,725 to cover a portion of Mojo’s remaining vet bills. She’s fought so hard & deserves to thrive. Every contribution brings us closer to her continued care. Please help Mojo keep breathing easy, living happy, & enjoying every joyful moment.
