Tosha is a 16 year old Mix-Breed in Poughkeepsie, NY, who needs $16,000 for Multi-Agent Lymphoma Chemotherapy.

Tosha was found with his siblings in a box at Queensbridge Park beneath the Queensboro Bridge. We adopted him through a rescuer in Astoria in 2010. His name was Mittens, but the moment I met him, he looked like a Tosha. He has been the king of my heart ever since.

After losing weight and becoming ill, Tosha was referred to Guardian Veterinary Specialists, where he was diagnosed with high-grade T-cell lymphoma. Under the care of board-certified veterinary oncologist Dr. Berg, he began chemotherapy with the hope of achieving remission. His treatment plan includes chemotherapy, regular blood work, an ultrasound, a Nu.Q® test, and ongoing oncology evaluations.
