About Mochi

Mochi is a 6-year-old Pug with a truly sweet personality. He loves giving kisses and is happiest when he’s the center of attention, though he’s also perfectly content to spend time on his own. Mochi comes from an owner who could no longer afford his care, and he’s looking for a fresh start with someone familiar with Pugs. Like many in his breed, he is affectionate, quirky, and finds comfort in routine. Mochi should not live with small children due to a past incident around food, and he does best if fed separately from other pets. A household experienced with the breed and attuned to his needs would be ideal, especially since he’s about to begin heartworm treatment. Mochi has not yet mastered house training, so patience and consistency will be key in his new environment. This pint-sized pup is ready for someone who truly understands him.
