The PuppyUp Bowl-a-thon fundraiser, hosted by Toki Poki®, is celebrated in loving memory of Toki who passed away from her 10-year-long battle with canine cancer at the age of 15½ on July 30, 2015.
The mission of the PuppyUp Foundation is to find the causes of cancers and the common link between pets and people. Their fundraiser walks are held across the country every year in hopes of creating a world without cancer. Toki was honored to be the Canine Cancer Hero for the 2012 PuppyUp Walk in San Antonio, Texas.
Miss Toki, Chief Executive Dog (CED) of Toki Poki® since 2010, launched her line of pet trading cards to share with children’s hospitals all over the country. She loved nothing more than to make children smile.
Her small Boston Terrier frame did not match her big-dog personality. She traveled the country and became friends with everyone she met. Whether it was on the streets of New York City or the sands of Santa Barbara, her friends’ reach was worldwide. School children in New Zealand even wrote her letters as a class project.
During the years of battling canine cancer – sometimes winning, sometimes losing – she transformed into Toki, canine superhero – “My T Dog!”
cancer. touches. everyone.
She would have enjoyed meeting all the supporters who are helping PuppyUp raise much-needed funds as they continue to make incredible strides in comparative oncology research.
Toki is not forgotten and continues to be the soul and strength of Toki Poki®, bringing smiles to kids of all ages. Although she’s traded in her superhero cape for beautiful angel wings, she is remembered for her loving spirit and willingness to be the crusader against canine cancer.

The Puppy Up Foundation is committed to discovering the common links between canine and human cancers and the causes of these cancers through comparative oncology research. Our organization will accomplish that mission in the following ways.
Education and Awareness
The field of comparative oncology is relatively new and The Puppy Up Foundation will educate people about its tremendous potential through a global campaign of strategic partnerships, seminars, speaking engagements, social media, events, broadcasts, and other forms of media.
Empowerment and Mobilization
Through The Puppy Up! Walk, we are building the largest pet and people cancer community in the world; from business people to artists to scientists and humanitarians, a partnership forged with the singular purpose of ridding the world of its deadliest disease.
Investment in Research
The Puppy Up Foundation’s scientific objectives are: Broadening our understanding of the links between human and companion animal cancer, creating a cross institutional collaborative platform, developing new approaches to research, and funding translational cancer studies that benefit both pets and people.
