POCHA is a 12-year-old Schnauzer in Pembroke Pines, FL, who needs $1,900 for Immunotherapy and Radiotherapy.

Pocha is a Schnauzer dog that has been with me for 12 years, my parents gave her to me when I was 3 years old. She only had one pregnancy, in which we had a female named Pochita. I named her Pocha because my parents used that name for me when she was a baby. Since she was little, she liked to chase me and chew on my clothes, just like she also chewed on my shoes.

Pocha sleeps with me. She loves to go to the park for a run and She likes to play with a ball. She also loves to come to my terrace door to bark at the birds that come to stand in the trees. Another thing she likes is eating his dog biscuits that my dad offers her when he comes home from work. In addition, she loves to be cared for in her abdomen.

My parents spent all their savings on previous exams and on a surgery performed to remove most of this Malignant Melanoma located in her throat. That is why we do not have enough money to continue with the second part of the treatment (Radiotherapy and immunotherapy).

She recently had Malignant Melanoma detected in her throat and she need treatment with radiation therapy and immunotherapy (melanoma vaccine). The name of the hospital is Animal Cancer Care Clinic, located in the city of Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, Florida. Its treating veterinarian is Ricardo Fernandez, DVM.

I am her best friend, I have been with her all her life. She also plays a lot with her daughter Pochita and when they go out to the garden they try to hunt small animals such as lizards or beetles. She loves to greet all the people or animals that pass in front of my house. Her greatest fear is thunder and lightning.
