Mocha - Wirehaired Dachshund and Wirehaired Terrier Dog for Adoption in Amsterdam, New York

Mocha came in as an owner surrender on 9/23/26 with her puppy.
Her puppy has been adopted and now she is ready for a home of her own!
Mocha is about 1.5 years old and weighs about 16 pounds. She is a little shy with new people but once you make friends she loves to be on your lap and enjoys being carried around. She would be perfect for someone who works from home that would love a lap warmer for the coming winter months. She previously lived with kids, cats and other dogs and did well. She really is a very sweet little treasure! (who also loves ice cream!)
