Bouncy Boba and Mischievous Mocha - Bichon Frise and Goldendoodle Dog for Adoption in Carlsbad, California

Hello New Friends!
We’re Bouncy Boba and Mischievous Mocha, two handsome, fluffy pups who are looking for a forever home (together!) I’m Boba the five-year-old big ‘brother’ and Mocha, the three year old little ‘brother. We have have been together since Mocha joined the family as a puppy. Although we look a lot alike, we have different personalities-- and one very special bond!

I’m Boba, the cuddly lovebug who is just beginning to discover the wonderful world of ...toys! Sometimes I pick one up and then am not quite sure what to do next. Do I keep it? Give it back? Is there a playbook for this? I don’t know but it’s pretty exciting! I’m a smart boy who wants to please, already know a few basic commands, and comes running when my foster Mom claps her hands. I also enjoy cuddles and being close to my people once I’m comfortable.

And then there’s my little brother, Mocha! He’s curious, energetic, and quite the problem-solver. When our foster Mom put belly bands on us (so we would learn to be house broken which we are) he figured out how to remove his AND mine! (I'm still wondering what I did to deserve a brother who rearranges my wardrobe.) Mocha loves racing into the yard, barking with excitement, but always stops to make sure that I’m coming, too. If I’m taking too long, he runs back to see what’s keeping me. (Somebody has to keep the big brother on schedule!)

Before we became FurKids we lived with a ‘working family.’ That means when they went to work we were left outside, until they returned home at the end of the day. Then we could all be in the house together. We liked that part a lot! But we yearned for more time with our people and that couldn’t happen. So they asked us to be brave boys and told us we would be able to find someone who could be with us most of the time and to help us become the best versions of ourselves.

So we are now FurKids and are both adjusting to our new lives. We are a bit wary of strangers and new situations. We may bark when visitors arrive, but with time and space, we have learned to relax. Mocha will sometimes retreat to the bedroom when things feel overwhelming, while I can be protective of our space. Mom knows that building trust takes time and that we’ll need someone who will help us build confidence without rushing us.

We’re smart boys, and routine helps us shine! We go outside regularly for potty breaks, and Mocha does best when his people watch for his signals. We’ve already mastered some commands and are happy to learn more – Oh! And we’re learning the ‘fun’ of playing with toys. We also like car rides (especially if they involve adventures) and walks (we’re learning how to do well on our walks( too.

Our Ideal Home:
A patient, active and experienced person or couple who will help us adjust at our own pace
A loving home with a consistent routine and positive, ongoing training
A home with no cats please.
A family committed to keeping us together, because we’re brothers and best buddies!

Experience Level:
No first-time adopters.
Rescue experience a plus!
Patient dog people who understand shy or uncertain dogs and will help us build confidence.

We’ve had some big changes in our lives, but are hopeful that our next chapter will be our happiest one yet. We dream of a home where we can enjoy sunny afternoons in the yard, cozy evenings with our people, and all the little joys that come with being someone’s beloved FurKids.

We are a fluffy package of love, laughter and brotherly devotion – and we’re ready to find a family who will make room in their hearts for both of us. Could you be the ones we’ve been waiting for?

Tail wags and cuddles,
Bouncy Boba & Mischievous Mocha
