Mochi

My story

Meet Mochi — a 3‑year‑old, 23 lb Cockapoo mix with a heart as soft as his curls and a personality that melts everyone he meets! Quick Facts:Name: MochiBreed: Cockapoo (Cocker Spaniel/Poodle) MixAge: 3 years oldWeight: 23 lbs.House-Trained: YesCrate-Trained: YesGood with Dogs: YesGood with Cats: Not testedGood with Kids: Not testedEnergy Level: Low/AffectionateFence Required: NoBonded with: Sushi About Mochi’s Breed:Our best guess is that Mochi is a Cocker Spaniel/Poodle (Cockapoo) mixed breed. Cockapoos — a mix of Cocker Spaniel and Poodle — are known for their affectionate, people‑loving nature and their gentle, friendly temperament. They’re typically smart, social, and eager to please, which makes them wonderful companions for families, singles, and seniors alike. With their soft coats, expressive faces, and cuddly personalities, they often become deeply attached to their humans and love being part of daily life. Their ideal home is one where affection flows freely and they can enjoy plenty of companionship. Cockapoos thrive with families who appreciate snuggles, enjoy light to moderate activity, and can offer consistent love and attention. They do best in nurturing environments where they’re included in the fun — whether that’s a cozy movie night, a neighborhood walk, or simply curling up beside their favorite person. What to Love about Mochi:Mochi is a treat‑loving, cuddle‑seeking sweetheart who adores snuggling with his people and his bonded brother, Sushi! These two make an incredibly loving, affectionate duo, and Mochi is the type of pup who will stand on his back legs just to get extra pets and attention. He’s observant, gentle, and has a special love for chicken and cucumbers! Mochi is potty trained, crate trained, and has such great house manners that he can be left uncrated when you’re away. He’s friendly with other dogs and loves greeting them on walks — sometimes with a cheerful barked “hello.” He hasn’t met kids or cats yet, but would likely do well with respectful children who understand how to interact gently with dogs. Mochi is lower‑energy overall, happiest napping in your lap or curled up beside you, but he enjoys leisurely walks in the woods or around the neighborhood with Sushi. He does pull on leash and would benefit from some training, but he’s eager to please and loves being part of the family. Mochi’s Magnificent Highlights:3‑year‑old, 23 lb Cockapoo mix with a mellow, affectionate personalityDeeply bonded with his brother Sushi — they make an incredibly loving duoTotal cuddlebug who loves napping in your lap or right beside youTreat‑motivated and loves chicken and cucumbersFriendly with other dogs and enjoys greeting them on walks (sometimes with a barked “hello”)Potty trained, crate trained, and trustworthy uncrated thanks to great house mannersLower‑energy but enjoys relaxed walks in the woods or around the neighborhoodHasn’t met kids or cats yet but would likely do well with respectful childrenOverall a gorgeous, gentle, observant boy who thrives in a home full of affection and cuddles  If you’re looking for a mellow, affectionate, gorgeous little companion — and especially if you’re open to adopting a bonded pair — Mochi and Sushi are ready to fill your home with warmth, cuddles, and endless love. Comprehensive details are provided in the dog's description. to ensure a smooth process, please submit a completed application through our website at: http://crisisdogsnc.org/dog-adoption/.
