About Me:

Hi, I’m Mocha!

I am a young goofy guy who will need a family who is very patient as it may take me a while to adjust to a new home. I can be a little timid when meeting new people, I just need to feel comfortable and then you will be my best buddy! I hope that my forever family with think of training as a fun thing to do together.

I will thrive in a calm, nurturing environment with people that will pay attention to any signs of anxiety I may show.

I need a home that is committed to me and ready to give me a life with love and adventure for the rest of my years.

I can't wait to find my forever home.

My Perfect Match

  • Is willing to take a few trips to WAG to get to know me before taking me home.
  • Loves goofy loveable quirky boys
  • Eager to learn more about dog body language so you can understand what I'm communicating to you!
  • Will continue with training - I will need a post-adoption training appointment with a WAG approved trainer
  • Able to provide a calm, nurturing environment with people that will pay attention to any signs of anxiety I may show.
  • Lots of patience!
  • Will be strong! I am a strong fella who sometimes focuses a little too much on birds and squirrels.
  • Will love me forever no matter what, quirks and all!
  • I need a home that is committed to me and ready to give me a life with love and adventure for the rest of my years.

 

My foster Family has been helping me settle into a new indoor environment, check out their pupdate they sent through -

I love being outside and going for walks, hikes, and runs - especially if you let me stop often to sniff and leave my mark. I could play fetch/catch all day and am really goofy when I pounce on the ball and catch snowballs! I really love ripping the stuffing out of my toys and playing with my people - tug is guaranteed to make my tail wag! I also love cuddles and will lay in your lap for attention; I'll even sleep on your bed if you'll let me.

Even though being inside is still a little scary, I am really calm and well behaved indoors - I don't get into or chew anything I'm not supposed to. I am also really good in the car!

I have a sweetheart and a big brain - I often know what you want me to do but sometimes it's a little too scary to do right away. I am very quiet and only "humph" or bark when I get frustrated (for example if you want me to come inside but I'd rather stay out). I will communicate with you through my body language so I need an owner that is observant and both excited for and committed to training.

I get along with men and women, but can be timid when meeting you for the first time or if I don't recognize you right away.
I need love and LOTS of patience. Sometimes I can get excited and pull on the leash, so I need an owner that is strong. I'm getting much better though - especially once I trust you and know that you'll give me treats! Doors and doorways are a big trigger for me, so I need lots of patience and encouragement in the form of kind words and tasty treats.
