About Mochi

Meet Mochi — a tiny Maltese bursting with personality! At nearly five years old and just six pounds, this little girl is a delightful combination of fluff and charm. She’s dog-friendly, loves to chat, and has a knack for letting you know she’s around with plenty of kisses. Each lick on her foster mom's hands is a reminder of her affectionate nature Mochi's playful spirit shines through as she stands on her hind legs, resembling a meerkat keenly surveying her surroundings. We think Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" could be her theme song! She enjoys following her foster mom from room to room, snuggling up at bedtime, and finding comfort in her presence, having come from a puppy mill. As Mochi adapts to her new life, she’s making great strides, confidently navigating steps and working on her potty training. While she loves being close to people, she’s still learning to be handled, so a patient home is essential to help her build confidence. A family that is home often and perhaps has another friendly dog would be ideal. A secure yard would also give her the chance to safely explore the outdoors.
