My story

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

Mochi is a 3-year-old Shih Tzu with a gentle disposition and a lot of love to give. Recently surrendered to our center, Mochi has persistent skin allergies that cause him discomfort, particularly when touched, but he remains sweet and affectionate. Despite his challenges, Mochi is a charming companion who would thrive in a patient, understanding home that can provide him with the care he needs. Ideally, he needs an adult-only home. With his previous family, Mochi shared a home with a 12-year-old. It was very stressful for him, because they wanted to touch him a lot, and didn’t understand that it was hurting his skin. We’re seeking a loving adopter who can work with a dermatologist to manage his skin issues and offer him a comfortable, happy life. Mochi deserves a second chance in a warm and welcoming home.
