About Mocha

Meet Mocha! This sweet senior boy has faced more than any dog should have to endure. Rescued from a heartbreaking neglectful situation, he made his way to us through a local shelter, and we’re so grateful he received another chance. Mocha has limited hearing and vision, but don’t let that fool you. He still revels in exploring the world around him, inhaling all the scents with his nose, and ensuring he’s always close to his favorite people. His favorite spot is right by your side. Years of neglect have left him with some skin issues that will need extra care. A simple medicated bath once a week will help keep his skin healthy and comfortable. Though he may not perceive the world like other dogs, Mocha has endless love to give. He’s looking for a patient, understanding home where he can enjoy his golden years filled with comfort and kindness. After everything he’s been through, Mocha deserves to know what it feels like to be truly loved. Could you be his person? Click apply to start the adoption process.
