Mocha - Poodle and Australian Shepherd Dog Available for Adoption in Phoenix, Arizona

Hi everyone! My name is Mocha. I am a 5-year-old, 24-pound Aussiedoodle. I am searching for my forever home after my previous owners could no longer care for me.

I have a very impressive resume: I am house, kennel, and potty trained, and I know basic commands like sit, down, shake, and off. I am mildly energetic, very social, and get along well with kids, dogs, cats, and birds. I would be happy as an only dog or sharing a home with other pets. Most of all, I am happy and snuggly!

Mocha is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. She also has a dental appointment scheduled that the rescue will pay for to ensure her teeth are nice and clean. Her adoption fee is $600, which helps offset the rescue's medical expenses.

If you live in the Phoenix metro area and think Mocha could be the right fit for you, please complete an adoption application at helpadogsmile.org/adoption-application/.

*Please note that the application is not a commitment to adopt–it is a tool used to help determine if a dog and applicant would make a good match. Applications are forwarded to the foster family for review and follow-up.
