About Mochi

She has a playful nature and does well with children, enjoys romping with dogs of any size, and is even cat friendly. Right now, she’s learning to go potty outside and walk on a leash. Mochi adores her puppy toys and loves being cuddled. Mochi is spayed and up to date on her vaccinations, including rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella.
