Mochi Magic the Happy Pup

Mochi is magic in a bottle! He's a happy-go-lucky pup with a heart of gold, and he's ready for his forever home. We believe that Mochi is a Cur, Pittie mix, but he is a rescue, so these are just our best guesses! Mochi has a stunning dark brindle coat that's giving expensive, sleek, and stylish! Make way for Mr. Mochi Man! Sweet Mochi is estimated to be around 2 years old and currently weighs in at a lap-sized 66 pounds. You will enjoy all of those lbs of love when he climbs into your lap for his big bear hug – you won't even remember that he's not a lap dog!

Mochi is incredibly people-oriented, greeting each new face with a wagging tail and a big smile. Kids are no exception for Mochi; he has lived in a foster home with a young child with no issues. If your kids need a playmate, Mochi could be a perfect match! He did perfectly in the car, sitting like a gentleman and waiting for praise. Mochi sometimes gets a little excited on a leash, so he would be best with someone who can handle his wiggle butts and ready-to-go attitude! He LOVES everyone! This quality really does aid in making him a perfect adventure buddy. He enjoys his car rides in the back seat, watching the world go by. Mochi loves to accompany his foster family on shopping trips and Starbucks runs, and while he's out, he's absolutely spoiled by all who meet him. He's just so handsome and always happy to meet new people, usually garnering compliments on his beautiful coat and kisses in return. Mochi has learned that compliments come freely and treats come easy for a good boy like him.

If your definition of "adventure" stretches past a trip to Target, fret not – Mochi is a total outdoorsman. This guy doesn't mind puddles, ice, snow, or steep climbs. The most treacherous hike couldn't faze him. Mochi is both confident and trusting on leash, which makes him a perfect hiking companion. He has the stamina to join you for long excursions and the car-riding skills to join you in far-away lands. He's people-oriented enough to check in from time to time, making adventuring safer and more enjoyable. He's a perfect camping/hiking/adventuring companion through and through! When you get to that scenic overlook, Mochi will "sit" on command for a treat. Mochi is super food-motivated, making further training enjoyable and rewarding. He already sits on command for treats and takes them gently. He also knows how to stay! His favorite treat is beef jerky.

Mochi's foster family includes two small dogs with medium to low energy levels. Mochi is firmly in the medium-energy category, with legs that could run all day and a heart that could snuggle all night. Mochi loves to play with other dogs and does so with his foster siblings, but he is respectful when they are done playing or don't want to play. His lower-energy friends keep him balanced, and for that reason, we believe he would do best in a home with medium to low-energy female dogs like his foster siblings. Mochi is so people-oriented that he could also thrive as a solo dog, soaking up all your attention for himself.

Mochi is a total toy lover too. He likes to carry his toys around in his mouth, sometimes for up to half an hour. It's impossibly adorable. He also likes to pull his toys out of his toy box, one by one, doing a little "inventory" before deciding which is best. He's also great at catching his toys in his mouth. He's such a talented and happy boy! He loves a good game of tug-of-war.

Precious Mochi is so loving and happy, he will surely brighten any home. He's described as "funny and cute," "so happy," and "an incredibly special boy" by our staff. Mochi is truly such a bright and special soul, and he has so many fans and friends already, but he's ready for his forever home.

Ideal Home

Mochi could live with other dogs but we don't recommend him for a home with kitties. We believe he would be happiest in a home with a yard, but considering his personality and social skills, we believe he could do well in an apartment too. Mochi could make a great family dog; we think he would be best in a home with kids 10+.

Ongoing Health
