My story

☕🐾 Meet Mocha — a gentle little soul with a heart full of sweetness 🐾☕ Mocha is a 4-month-old Chiweenie (Chihuahua/Dachshund mix) who’s as warm and comforting as her name 💛. She’s a shy girl at first and just needs a few days to settle in — but once she feels safe, her true personality shines and her whole body wiggles with happiness 🥹🐶 Mocha is great with kids (especially ages 8–12) and does well with other dogs, though she can be nervous initially. Patient, respectful dog friends help her build confidence 🐕✨. She’s still learning to trust new people and may take a little extra time to warm up to men, but kindness and consistency go a long way with this sweet girl. 🏡 Mocha at Home: 😴 Sleeps peacefully through the night in her kennel 🚪 Making great progress with potty training and the doggy door 🐾 Learning leash skills and doing well so far (no full walks yet!) 🧠 Not trained in tricks yet — but eager to learn 💗 Mocha Loves: • Other dogs • Kids • Cozy spaces • Being close to her people 🚫 Mocha Dislikes: • Loud or sudden noises • Being rushed before she feels comfortable ✨ Mocha’s Must-Haves: • Patient, gentle adopters • Continued potty and leash training • A calm, supportive environment 🏙️ Apartment Friendly? Yes! With regular potty breaks and light exercise, Mocha can do great in an apartment 🏢🐾 🌟 Fun Facts: • Already kennel-trained at night at just 4 months old • Picking up the doggy door faster than most puppies • Once she warms up, she’s a total sweetheart and playful cuddle bug 💛 Mocha’s Ideal Home: A calm, loving home with patient humans who understand puppy nerves and are excited to help her grow into a confident, happy companion. A family with kids, a friendly dog sibling, or someone looking for a loyal little shadow would be perfect for Mocha. 👉 Apply to adopt Mocha here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/LCDR/Dog

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Mocha, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
