About Mochi

Mochi joined the rescue when her previous owner brought her in on October 21, 2026. This adorable, playful pup radiates sweetness but requires a gentle approach to truly shine. Patience is key; once she feels at home, she loves exploring her surroundings, bonding with her people, and going for car rides. Mochi thrives in a quiet environment, where she can come out of her shell at her own pace. It's important to note that she may feel uneasy around unfamiliar people and dogs initially. For families with children, those must be 10 years or older and involved in introductions. Familiarizing her with any resident dogs before adoption is a good idea. Mochi has been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, making her ready to find that special forever home. She also needs a virtual behavior consult, which will help address separation-related behaviors. Bring a leash and collar when adopting. This journey together promises to be sweet, as long as you take it at Mochi's pace!
