Mochi-Bear is an incredibly sweet, gentle, and affectionate girl with an easygoing nature while indoors and the cutest energetic personality when outdoors. Rescued just before giving birth to her puppies in March she’s been a devoted mama, and now it’s her turn to be loved and spoiled in a forever home.

She’s potty trained (both pee pads and outdoors), still actively working on leash training now that her babies are fully weaned, and she is very smart. She can be calm and well-mannered at home, but she also enjoys and thrives best by getting outside for enrichment and play, making her a great fit for an active household, preferably with a yard or consistent daily mental and physical stimulation outdoors. (Side note: she LOVES car rides and Starbucks pup-cups!). She’s wonderful with children and loves to cuddle. When she’s excited to see you, she shows it with the cutest little butt wiggle.

She would do best in a home without cats or small animals. If there are other dogs, slow introductions will help set her up for success.

Mochi-Bear’s personality is truly special and everyone who meets her falls in love. She spent her time caring for and pampering her babies… and now she deserves a home where someone will do the same for her.

Mochi is heartworm negative, fully vaccinated and microchipped, and will be spayed following the appropriate postpartum period.
