Mojito

My story

Meet Mojito!Brought in as a stray by NYPD officers.Mojito is a dashing 3-year-old gray mixed-breed pup who's as full of personality as his name suggests. Found wandering alone in Brooklyn, he was brought to the shelter by kind officers and has quickly become a staff favorite thanks to his wiggly tail, treat-motivated brain, and eagerness to learn. He's working hard on his manners-and with the right human to guide him, this spirited boy has all the ingredients for greatness.🏡 My Ideal HomeMojito would do best with an experienced, adult-only household that can give him structure, enrichment, and lots of love. He's still learning how to manage his big feelings around food and toys, so guidance from a force-free trainer will help him shine. He's energetic and would love a home where walks, puzzles, and playtime are part of the daily routine.👶 Good with Kids?No. Due to resource guarding and mouthing behaviors, Mojito is recommended for a home without children under 13.🐕 Good with Other Dogs?Mojito has shown polite disinterest in other dogs during introductions. A slow, supervised introduction would be needed if there's another pup in the home.🦮 Leash MannersHe's a mild puller and still learning leash manners, but he's very responsive to treats and handler cues-especially if there's a snuffle mat involved!🩺 Overall HealthMojito is neutered, up to date on all vaccines, and tested negative for heartworm. He's had some GI issues, now well-managed with a sensitive stomach diet.🧠 Behavior Determination: Level 3Mojito has shown resource guarding with food and toys and needs continued guidance to help him feel safe sharing space and items. He's made great progress in behavior sessions, learning to trade and take treats with a gentler mouth.🎉 One Fun FactMojito knows "sit" and "give paw"-and when he's feeling comfortable, he'll lean in for affection like he's known you forever.💸 Adoption Fee: $75Ready to bring Mojito home and mix up some joy?
