About Moka

Meet Moka, a gorgeous tripod Labrador Retriever with a warm, loving nature. She came to the U.S. from Mexico and has handled every challenge with quiet resilience. Despite missing a leg, Moka radiates calm and affection—she’ll often follow you from room to room just to be close. She loves companionship, whether you’re working, cooking, or relaxing, and she gently lets you know when she needs to go outside by nudging your hand toward the door. Moka appears to be fully house trained. Having recently adjusted to life as a tripod, Moka will need a patient adopter who understands her pace and comfort. She takes her time outside and may pause to rest, so a one-story home without slippery stairs would make daily life easier for her. She adores being around people and might also do well with another calm dog of similar size. Moka’s ideal home is with someone present most of the day, providing steady companionship and support as she continues to thrive. Give her the safety and love she’s looking for, and Moka will become a loyal part of the family. She’s a Pisces, which might explain her gentle side. Click apply to start the adoption process.
