About Mocha

Mocha came to us as an owner surrender on 9/23/26, alongside her puppy, who has since found a new home. At about a year and a half old and weighing around 16 pounds, this little girl is a bundle of love. Initially a bit shy with newcomers, she blossoms into a loyal companion, cherishing lap time and being carried around. Mocha is perfect for someone who works from home, especially with winter on the way. Having lived harmoniously with kids, cats, and other dogs, she brings along a happy disposition and is truly a delightful companion. Plus, she has a special fondness for ice cream!
