Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption

🐶 Basics
• Mocha
• Age / Size: 8 weeks, 5lbs, small
• Rescued in Texas

💙 Foster Note

Mocha is a walking snuggle-factory. He would be a great addition to a home of parents with busy work schedules since he doesn’t require a lot of time, just companionship. He doesn’t sleep for too long at a time and early morning rises are very much his norm, and after a quick cuddle he’s back to napping while we get ready for work. Big appetite in the morning usually subsides later in the day. He’s not very food/treat motivated (yet??) but loves neck scratches instead. He loves being held and carried – any excuse to be closer to you.
