I know you probably recognize me, but in case you are new to our social media page, I’m Mocha. I am one of the longest A.R.K. residents. My Achilles heel is that I need to be an only pet. That doesn’t make me a bad dog- just a little harder to place. Here is what one volunteer says about me: Love this girl, she is a sweetie and always looking for fun and pets as long as anyone pays her attention!! Another volunteer’s testimony: Mocha is the best!! I do give the volunteers lots of attention. Before I head out for potty breaks, I usually take the scenic route and say hi to anyone behind the adoption desk in the lobby. I like to see them smile. Well, if you want to give a girl a chance, I would love to go home. I keep my kennel clean. I am content there. I may be an older dog, but I still have spunk. The shelter reduced my adoption fee to $50.00. I appreciate the extra love and attempts to get me home. Do you think you could give me a boost too? I hear likes and shares could really help a shelter dog. Thanks for visiting with me. I guess I led the conversation. It would be nice to continue our talk at home and get to know each other better. I hope to see you soon. One of the volunteers shared the beautiful sunset with me last night. Wasn’t it beautiful? I appreciate everything. With love and devotion, Mocha DOB 4/20/17 40ish pounds intelligent obedient loyal eager to please treat-motivated *Although she passes by kennel doors without incident with most dogs, we feel that the best placement for Mocha would be in a single dog home and AN ONLY PET.
