Mocha is ten years old and technically a senior, but don’t tell her that. Behind that sugar face beats the heart of a dog half her age.
She loves adventures, treats, learning new tricks, and going for walks, but she also appreciates a soft bed, a cuddle, and a stuffed Kong. (Here’s a video of Mocha in action.)
Mocha is dog selective and would do best in a home without cats. She came to the shelter in May when her family could no longer take care of her.
Those who know her, love her, but at first glance, she may appear aloof. Don’t fall for it! Once she gets to know you, she’s your best friend and won’t let you out of her sight.
She seems resigned to her lot in life but there’s hope in her heart that her “furever” family is out there. Puppies are great, but there’s something very special about earning the trust and affection of a senior dog. Mocha is in the twilight of her life, but the love she has to give is endless.
November is Adopt A Senior Month. Give Mocha a chance. You‘ll be happy you did.
