GOAL: $1000 |
Watch her progress on our Facebook page and see more photos in her album. Mochi is a 4 year old female French Bulldog. She is a sweet, loving girl who has had a rough life prior to finding BHNW and a Vet Tech savior. Mochi started her life as a breeding dog for a commercial breeder/puppy mill. Years later she found herself free from that place, but not free from bad times. Just prior to coming into BHNW she had finally gotten spayed, but due to the amount of scar tissue from previous c-sections Mochi quickly developed complications and was rushed back in for another emergency surgery. Only days after that surgery she was placed in a new home with a couple of intact males and left alone while the humans went out. She was brutally attacked during this time and surrendered to a vet tech at the clinic she was taken to for her injuries. The Vet Tech was desperate to help Mochi and not wanting her to go back to where the new owners got her from she offered to take her. Not knowing if she would survive the attack the tech contacted BHNW in hope we would be able to help. To her surprise we absolutely wanted to help! BHNW and the tech talked regularly about Mochi's progress and when they finally felt she was stable enough to say they thought she would make it we were thrilled. The tech brought her home and watched over her so she didn't have to stay at the clinic anymore and we arranged for a foster home to take her once she was out of the woods. Mochi finished recovering from the attack in her Bulldog Haven NW foster home, while also working on the mental damage and a long observation of previous leg issues. She was very near being adoptable when we noticed something else had been put on Mochi's plate. She now has a very large hernia in her lower abdominal wall. New X-rays show this hernia is allowing her intestines/bowels to come through her abdominal wall, settling on the skin layer of her tummy. Although not in pain this poses a great danger and she is schedule for yet another surgery on May 23 to repair the hernia. During the examination and x-rays for the hernia diagnosis the vet also noticed some structural spinal issues which are likely contributing to the limited use of that rear leg. The issues with her spine are likely not something to be fixed, just managed and Mochi gets around well. The hernia is the most pressing issue at this time. As you can see, Mochi is a very special lady that needs your support right now. You can help Mochi by sharing her story and her need. You can contribute to Mochi's surgical fund through the paypal link above or by mail, please note it is for Mochi. Thank you for your continued support! Follow Mochi's progress on our facebook page.

Bulldogs Need You
Bulldog Haven NW is a rescue and adoption organization that provides a safe place for English and French Bulldogs, mental & physical rehabilitation, rehoming, breed specific shelter assistance and more.
Bulldog Haven NW was founded by a group of experienced Bulldog and Frenchie rescue people and owners from the Pacific Northwest region. All of our members are unpaid volunteers who love animals so much they give their time to help the dogs and the cause. Whether a Bulldog finds itself at a shelter where they feel it has needs before placement, is found by someone in the community, goes missing from their home, a puppy mill is shut down, or an owner finds themselves facing the need to find their Bulldog help outside of what they are able to give.. this is where we can help.
Our team also consists of caring shelter staff who alert us of dogs who need our resources and care, Veterinarians and Veterinary Clinics who care for our dogs as if they were their only clients, Businesses who donate supplies and food for your foster dogs, and the public who donate to our program.
When adopting any dog who may have a difficult past, you need to let go of your pity and guilt before bringing the dog home. Instead, make the dog feel secure by providing the calm and balanced energy of a pack leader. This way, the dog can relax, knowing that you have things under control. - Cesar Millan |
