My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Mocha, the queen of head tilts! So many things are new to her here in the States and she greets each new experience with a curious head tilt and innocent curious eyes. Mocha is a 7 month old Potcake mix. She actually looks a bit like a Shepherd too! She traveled all the way from Haiti to RI and is ready for adoption. Mocha gets along with other dogs and has lived with outdoor cats. She can be a little skeptical of new people, especially men but she warms up quickly and is quite affectionate! She would benefit from some basic puppy training and socialization with new people. Each of our dogs come with a free set of puppy classes!

Haiti is the poorest country on this hemisphere. People survive on an average of $2 a day. The locals don't have much to give but scrape the bottom of their pans to the stray dogs wandering the streets. That's how the island dogs got their name, Potcakes! Potcakes are known to make very smart, loyal, and loving pets. They generally for to be between 40-55 lbs with a lean physique.

The Haiti Street Dog Project is an incredible organization that saves starving, homeless, and injured dogs from certain death with very little resources. The dogs all tend to get along, as they don't have the luxury of privacy and seperate living quarters like we have in the US. The pups are given coconuts as chew toys but mostly play with each other.
