About Mochi

Meet Mochi! A spirited nine-and-a-half-year-old Golden Retriever in Monson, MA, he radiates athletic energy and warmth, wrapped in a beautiful long coat that gleams with hints of gold. Weighing in at 75 pounds, Mochi loves to embrace life with open paws, always eager for his next adventure. Whether it’s fetching a ball, splashing in water, or simply hopping into the car for a road trip, he relishes every moment spent with his people. With impressive zeal for his age, he enjoys an active lifestyle but also appreciates downtime snuggled next to those he loves. Smart and proud of it, Mochi has undergone formal obedience training and knows his basic commands, impressing everyone with a delightful roll over. He is house-trained, neutered, microchipped, and current on vaccinations. His mealtime is carefully managed; he loves to eat and requires his food to be secured as he has shown behaviors like resource guarding in the past. His ideal home is free of young children but would suit adults and respectful school-age kids. While he gets along with cats, he can be choosy around other dogs, especially larger males, so playdates must be approached delicately. Mochi has a unique sensitivity to animals on screen, leading to strong reactions, so it’s best to have him in another room during TV time. His needs require a thoughtful and active family prepared to help him thrive. Could Mochi be the adventure buddy you've been searching for? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
