About Mocha

Mocha is a young adult hound mix who brings plenty of energy into a home. She learns fast and settles into routines with ease, picking up on subtle cues and listening for what’s next. Mocha craves interaction and isn’t shy about showing her playful side—sometimes a little on the rougher side, so she shouldn’t share space with an older or fragile dog. She does best in a feline-free home, as cats are not her thing. Mocha is spayed and her vaccines are current. She isn’t house trained yet, but her quick wit makes her a candidate for anyone willing to put in a bit of training. All around, she’s looking for a family ready for a spirited and social companion.
