Today we remember Mocha.
One year ago today, this beautiful soul came to the Paws Give Me Purpose Sanctuary. Not knowing when she was born, this was also the day we designated as her Birthday – the start of her new life.
For those of you not familiar with her story, Mocha came from a horrible past of abuse and neglect; she was a fighter and we fought along right beside her. We did everything we possibly could to help her.
Mocha was a very fragile 6-year-old Chihuahua mix who was seized by Animal Control during a drug raid and removed from the home. She was brought to the BARCS Animal Shelter in Maryland. She had been starved, was extremely underweight; she was basically a walking skeleton, covered in fleas, sores all over her body, alopecia, dermatitis, and extremely overgrown nails.
Worst of all was the damage caused by the toxic air she had been breathing her entire life. Mocha had difficulty breathing and was diagnosed with severe lower airway disease and her lungs were incredibly damaged. We knew going into this rescue that her condition was extremely grave and her life was at risk, but we never gave up on Mocha.
Paws Give Me Purpose did everything possible to help her and give her the best possible life we could. She was very loved, received lots of TLC and the expert medical care she needed and deserved. Mocha was a fighter and we had really hoped and prayed she would make a full recovery and would enjoy the life she really deserved, but sadly it was not meant to be.
On June 6, 2019, our hearts were shattered after discovering that Mocha had crossed to Rainbow Bridge peacefully in her sleep.
In the few months that she was here in our Sanctuary, she knew love and learned that not all humans are unkind.
Happy Birthday in Heaven beautiful girl! You will always have a special place in our hearts.
In Mocha’s memory, Paws Give Me Purpose Inc. would like to be able to rescue other precious souls just like her and give them a chance at life, but we cannot do this without you.
We ask that you please consider making a donation to our Sanctuary today in beautiful Mocha’s name, so other dogs just like her have a special place to live out their days feeling safe and loved.
