MOCHI

My story

Meet Mochi! Mochi is an adorable 1.5-year-old Malipoo who is currently being fostered in Richmond Hill and looking for his forever home! This handsome little guy has gorgeous white fur that doesn’t shed, although like all Malipoos, he will require regular grooming. Mochi LOVES his people and is incredibly loyal—he’ll happily follow his favourite human around and just wants to be close. He also loves car rides and, when it’s time to relax, he’s perfectly content spending quiet time in his crate. He can sleep peacefully in there all night, making his crate his own safe and happy space. 🥰 Mochi is a smart little guy with a BIG food drive! He already knows basics like “sit” and has a great recall, and he would absolutely love a family who wants to continue his training using high-quality treats. He’s eager to learn and will make training a fun activity for both of you! On walks, Mochi can get very excited. He pulls and is eager to meet people and dogs, sometimes barking to get their attention. He is friendly with dogs for the most part, but we feel he would thrive as the only pet in the home so he can soak up all the attention and be his family’s one and only. Mochi does have some work to do with potty training. He was recently neutered, and we’re hopeful that some of his marking will settle as he adjusts. His foster family is continuing to work with him and set him up for success. Mochi is an alert little guy and will bark to let you know when something is happening, but he is not excessively barky. His foster mom feels he could do well in an apartment as long as he has his crate and safe space to retreat to. Because Mochi is not comfortable with quick little hands, we are looking for an adult-only home. He previously lived with children and was surrendered after becoming jealous, so we want to be thoughtful about his next placement and give him the best opportunity to succeed. He has a bit of an edge and likes to make his opinions known! If he doesn’t like something or feels uncomfortable, he may let out a growl so we want to avoid him feeling threatened. Mochi is such a lovely little character- happy, affectionate, loyal, smart and full of personality. He would love a family who will continue his training, give him structure, lots of love and, of course, plenty of treats. ************* As my foster family gets to know me my profile can change and will be updated accordingly. Check back often for details! An application for me can be found at www.justpaws.ca. Just Paws is located in the Greater Toronto Area of Ontario, Canada. We do not adopt out of province or country. Please note that although many of our dogs get along with children, we are not able to adopt to any household with kids under the age of 8 years old. This is a stipulation of our insurance and is not a reflection on suitability of the potential adopter.
