Mojo the Canine Cancer Warrior - Metastatic Thymoma

09/20/2026

1 in 4 dogs and 1 in 6 cats will develop cancer sometime in their life. Regular vet visits, knowing your pet, and identifying the signs of cancer make a difference. Did you know that dogs and cats handle chemotherapy much better than humans? Machiko (dog) and Kitty (cat) were not candidates for treatment, but Mojo received chemo and did very well. Unfortunately, cancer is sneaky, and it eventually took over. I wouldn't change a thing about my decision for surgery and treatment. Trust your gut and your doctors. Paws4Potter

We've got 9 states represented so far!

The virtual portion of the "Making A Mark On K9 Cancer" dog walk starts on September 26th and runs through October 10th!

We want to paint the whole country pink! Will you help us to fill in the gray areas? One of our "New Decade, New Goals" wishes is to have at least one representative from every state join us this year in helping to spread the word about canine cancer!

Please share this with all of your friends! And, even if your state is already represented, we hope that you will join us for 2 weeks of fun, contests, and camaraderie!

Humans need to do better, from the ones who commit the abuse to the ones who create the laws and punishments. Let's get our county on the NYS Humane Association

https://www.nyshumane.org/animal-abuser-registries-nys/

This decrepit stairway led 2 unsuspecting dogs who were loyal to their humans to their suffering and ultimate death.
We have named them JUSTICE & SPIRIT.
We don’t know their genders, the decomposition of their helpless bodies only tell the story of the torture they endured.
When we look at this path, we envision JUSTICE & SPIRIT happily trotting up these stairs with tails wagging. Thankfully unaware of the agony that would be stricken upon them.
Our minds take us back to how, just how did their offenders take this tale to where it is today. If human beings can put these living creatures with beating hearts in crates, look into their eyes, PADLOCK the crates-WHY??? Why the padlocks?!!!, walk away from them closing the door to never return…it’s not likely that they were ever loved, valued or respected.
The torture of being imprisoned, starved and abandoned is inconceivable. Did no one hear their cries? They surely tried to make noise, begging for help. Ignored by all who were within distance to rescue them. It took approximately 6 long months for JUSTICE & SPIRIT to be rescued. Unimaginable.
We ask for your full support in the upcoming trials of the accused:
🚨🚨🚨JOSEPH A. WARNEY and
EMMA E. TRASK🚨🚨🚨
ensuring they face full consequences for their unconscionable and despicable actions.
Please consider attending the trials or showing support through other means, such as writing letters to the authorities or donating to animal welfare organizations. Every effort counts in the pursuit of justice for JUSTICE & SPIRIT.

This is what nightmares are made of, there are monsters walking among us.

With the legalization of ma*****na in New York State, it is likely that we will be seeing an upsurge of ma*****na toxicity in our pets, especially our dogs.

We have seen a handful of dogs exhibiting signs of ma*****na ingestion over the past couple of year, so we figured that it was important to share information about it.

Be advised that we are not judging anyone for their recreational use of this drug, but we want to make sure that people are aware that dogs and cats can get really sick from ingesting or inhaling ma*****na. We often see these patients coming in with uncontrolled urine dribbling and drunken-like behavior.

Most of these patients just need supportive care, but others - depending on how much they ingested - are in danger of seizure activity and coma.

Please do your due diligence and keep ma*****na and other THC-containing edibles out of reach of your pets at all times. 🐾

Here's an article about ma*****na toxicity in pets:

The virtual component of the Paws4Potter "Making A Mark On K9 Cancer" dog walk starts TOMORROW, October 5th!!!

This two-week long event is filled with contests, social media challenges, and even a live Zoom event (date TBA)!

If you aren't located in northern NY or otherwise can't make it to our in-person dog walk on October 19th but are feeling left out and want to join in on the fun, then this is the event for you! ❤

Green = Go! We've got several states represented, including a few additional countries! Do you know someone in one of the "grey" states that would like to join in on the fun?

❤❤❤ The event lasts for two weeks, and you can walk as little or as much as you would like to! There's still plenty of time to take part in the action!

Raising awareness for canine cancer across the country and beyond . . . 🐾🐾🐾

I've been missing so much lately, including this dog that would run through fire for me. 🌈

Mojo Anthony 5.28.10-2.17.20
He was, and always will be, my warrior. It was just time for him to rest. Until we meet again.

Mojo, you let Flash do anything to you. You were an amazing brother to everyone. I hope when Flash left me, he found you. That day still gives me PTSD. My one wish was that you didn't have a medical crisis and that you went peacefully. I do not wish my last moments with Flash on anyone. When working in rescue I always said they didn't live long so that we could love more. It is true in some ways, I wouldn't have the ones I have now if everyone lived forever. It doesn't change how much you miss them though.

Mojo was attacked 2x by a family dog. Despite testing, trainers, and behavior modification the end result was heartbreaking. Both were raised together as puppies.

Spencer was a cancer warrior too.

Spencer was named the official dog of the 126th Boston Marathon in 2022 and died of cancer in 2023.
