Mochi is magic in a bottle! He's a happy go lucky pup with a heart of gold, and he's ready for his forever home. We believe that Mochi is a Cur, Pittie mix, but he is a r so these are just our best guesses! Mochi has a stunning dark brindle coat. It's giving expensive, sleek, and stylish! Make way for Mr. Mochi man! Sweet Mochi is estimated to be around 2 years old, and he currently weighs in at a lap-sized 66 pounds. You will enjoy all of those lbs. of love when he climbs into your lap for his big bear hug. And you won't even remember that he's not a lap dog!
The first thing you'll notice about Mochi is how incredibly people-oriented he is. He greets each and every new face with a wagging tail and a big smile. Kids are no exception for Mochi- he has lived in foster home with a young child with no issue. If your kids need a playmate, Mochi could be a perfect match!

Our volunteer took him for a day out and let us know how great he was out in public! Mochi is such a good boy! He did perfectly in the car, sitting like a gentleman, waiting for you to turn around at the red lights to give him a nod and a "good boy Mochi!" Mochi sometimes gets a little excited on a leash, so he would be best with someone who can handle his wiggle butts and ready to go attitude! He LOVES everyone!!
We know we already told you how amazing Mochi is in the car, but we really mean it! This quality really does just aid in making him a perfect adventure buddy. He enjoys his car rides in the back seat, watching the world go by while you drive. Mochi loves to accompany his foster family on shopping trips and Starbucks runs, and while he's out- he's absolutely spoiled by all who meet him. He's just so handsome, and always so happy to meet new people- usually new humans will say something like "wow, what a beautiful coat!" followed shortly by "Wow! Thank you for the kisses, Mochi!" Mochi has learned that the compliments come freely and the treats come easy for a good boy like him.
If your definition of "adventure" stretches past a trip to Target, fret not- Mochi is a total outdoorsman. This guy doesn't mind puddles, ice, snow or steep climbs. The most treacherous hike couldn't faze him. Mochi is both confident and trusting on leash, which makes him a perfect hiking companion. He has the stamina to join you for long excursions, and the car riding skills to join you in faraway lands. He's people-oriented enough to check in from time to time, making adventuring that much safer and more enjoyable. He's a perfect camping/hiking/adventuring companion, through and through! When you get to that scenic overlook, Mochi will "sit" on command for that perfect picture, in exchange for a treat, of course!
Speaking of treats, Mochi is super food motivated! This makes further training with him enjoyable and rewarding for both of you. He already sits on command for treats and he takes them gently. He also knows how to stay, he is such a good listener! His favorite treat is beef jerky, and yes, he did ask us to include this factoid in his bio! It is very important and relevant information for his future family to know.
Mochi's foster family does include two small dogs with a medium to low energy level. Mochi is firmly in the medium energy category, with legs that could run all day and a heart that could snuggle all night. Mochi loves to play with other dogs, and does play with his foster siblings, but is respectful when the other dogs are done playing, or don't want to play. His lower energy friends keep him balanced, and for that reason we believe he would do best in a home with medium to low energy female dogs like his foster siblings. Mochi is so people-oriented that he could also thrive as a solo dog, soaking up all of your attention for himself.
Mochi is a total toy lover too. He likes to carry his toys around in his mouth, and he has been reported to do so for up to a half hour at a time. It's impossibly adorable. He also likes to pull his toys out of his toy box, one by one, doing a little "inventory" before deciding which is best. He's also great at catching his toys in his mouth. He's such a talented and happy boy! I was one of the lucky people able to play tug-of-war with Mochi, and of course he won. With a boy this cute you don't even care when you lose a great battle, because you've already won just by being with him!!!
Precious Mochi is so loving and happy, he will surely brighten any home. We would be remiss to not mention that Mochi is a total staff favorite! He's described as "funny and cute", by our behavior team lead, as "so happy" by one of our K9 Coaches, and as "an incredibly special boy", by one of our adoption coordinators. Mochi is truly such a bright and special soul, and he has so many fans and friends already, but he's ready for his forever home.
With a smile always on his face, Mochi is ready to fill your home with love and happiness. Mochi could live with other dogs, but we don't recommend him for a home with kitties. We believe he would be happiest in a home with a yard, but considering his personality and social skills, we believe he could do well in an apartment too. Mochi could make a great family dog, we think he would be best in a home with kids 10+ Mochi is ready for the rest of his life to begin- don't make him wait any longer, apply to adopt this sweet boy today!

At our 2-acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dogs growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap-ranging from $100-$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
