Hello there! I'm Mocha, a sweet and playful pup with a gorgeous brindle coat sprinkled with charming white markings, and a little white tip on my tail that loves to curl. My foster mom can't stop telling me how pretty I am, and I love to be right by her side, whether she's working from home or just relaxing. I've also made a great friend in the other foster dog here – we play together, and I really look up to her!
I'm working hard on my potty training and have a wonderful teacher in my foster dog sibling. While I still need to go out frequently because of my size, I'm proud to say I haven't had any accidents indoors recently, and my foster mom is so impressed with how quickly I'm learning! I'm excited to eventually signal when I need to go out.
My kennel is a work in progress, but I'm getting better at settling in each day. I usually sleep in my kennel at night, but sometimes I get to snuggle with my foster mom for a few hours after my early morning potty break – those are the best! I already know how to sit and play fetch, and I'm learning to "leave it" and walk nicely on a leash. With so many interesting smells, I don't always walk in straight lines yet, but I'm getting there!
I'm a smart cookie and pick up new things quickly by watching my foster sister. I would absolutely love to continue learning and bonding with my new forever family through obedience training. I thrive on praise and am always happy to do tricks for treats! I haven't met any children yet, but I have a feeling I'd absolutely adore them. As a young puppy, I can be a bit mouthy, and my tiny teeth are sharp, so gentle supervision is appreciated. I love to play with my foster sister, but I'm learning boundaries and can be submissive if things get too ruff. My favorite games include chasing blowing leaves, playing with my foster sister, and fetch with my penguin ball – I'm a pro at bringing it back! I also enjoy checking in with my foster mom as I explore the yard.
Ideal Home
I would love an active family who will channel my energy with activities like playing fetch and going for walks. I also love having people around, and since I'm still learning crate training, a family that is home to take me out regularly would be wonderful.
Ongoing Health

Training & Support
I am still learning to settle in my kennel. I am also still mouthy due to my young age and have sharp puppy teeth. I am learning to walk nicely on a leash and to "leave it." I would benefit from continued obedience training.
