About Mochi

Meet Mochi, the Pond Princess and Backyard Olympian. She's thriving in her current foster home and is known for her playful spirit. When she first arrived, Mochi was one of many dogs navigating an uncertain life, but now she's blossomed into a fun-loving companion who adores exploring her surroundings. Water is her happy place—if there’s a pool or pond nearby, you can bet she’s in it, paddling joyfully. Mochi has a delightful, independent nature. She’s not clingy or demanding, and she can happily entertain herself or relax in a sunny spot. However, when she loves, she loves hard. Despite her initial shyness around new people, once you’ve earned her trust, she becomes an affectionate and loyal companion, smothering you with kisses and quietly following you around the house. Outside, her energy shines; inside, she’s a calm presence that enjoys simply being part of the family. Mochi is great with other dogs, thanks to her upbringing among many canine friends. Her social skills are impressive, and she understands when it’s playtime or when a dog needs space. We'd love to find her a home with another dog and an active family who enjoys outdoor adventures. Mochi is looking for someone to share hikes, creek days, and post-swim cuddles. She’s genuinely a sweet girl who has come a long way and is ready for a life filled with love and exploration.
