About Mochi

Mochi is a 1.5-year-old "man in a tiny dog body" who is searching for his perfect match! He's a snuggle bug who loves to be close, often resting on his person's shoulder and giving gentle paw-bops to remind you he's there. Mochi also has a big appetite for snacks and will reward you with enthusiastic pogo-stick jumps of appreciation. He enjoys playing and wrestling with his canine siblings and has good manners. A well-stocked toy basket is a must for Mochi, as he thrives on mental stimulation and playtime. Having spent time as an outside dog, he would love a fenced-in yard with ample access, where he can happily patrol for any intruders. While he has a preference for adult women, he is open to meeting others who approach him slowly and respectfully. Mochi believes in love at first sight and will certainly judge everyone else!

Ideal Home

Mochi requires a home with no cats, as he will not get along with them. He also needs a home without a crate, as he strongly objects to being crated. He prefers a fenced-in yard and an owner who is okay with him being a "dirty dog" (he's not keen on extensive grooming, though he does enjoy ear cleanings). Mochi is not a travel companion and would prefer to stay home. He also needs to be carried like royalty, as leash walking is not for him.

Ongoing Health

Mochi is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations.

Training & Support

Mochi needs to be carried and is not a fan of leash walking. He also has strong opinions about being crated. He prefers not to be groomed extensively but enjoys ear cleanings.
