Moses Morris is an 8-year-old Shih Tzu in Eastvale, CA, who needs $2,000 for a diaphragmatic hernia repair.

Moses was adopted from a rescue shelter in 2016 by my mother in law. In 2017, my mother in law had a massive stroke and in 2020 succumbed to her illness. Moses lives in the home with mom, dad, brother, sister, and grandparents. Moses is loved by so many and has so many nicknames. His nicknames are Mosey, Gristle, BaBoy, and MoMo.

Moses shows everyone in the house and guests so much love and he divides his love evenly. He spends time during the day in the children, grandparents room, and sleeps in our room (parents). He jumps on the bed to wake the children up for school. If we are having family time in the family room and he notices someone is missing he will bark at their door and lead them to the family room.

Moses has a very loving personality with high confidence. After his grooming he has a strut like he is walking down the red carpet. He loves to cuddle and spend time in the morning on the balcony enjoying life. You know when he ate good because he will rub all over the carpet. Moses is very special to us as he is all we have left in memory of my mother in law.

Moses has a diaphragmatic hernia that requires surgery. He is experiencing loss of oxygen, vomiting, constipation, and loss of appetite. Moses was a rescue dog and we are not sure when this condition began. Moses is in critical condition and is located at Inland Valley Pet Hospital in Upland, Ca. Dr. Carol is the attending veterinarian.

My mother in law passed away in March and we had burial expenses to pay. For Moses to be healthy again it would mean more than the world to us. His sickness has created an empty hole that we can't fill.
