My story

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

MEET MOCHI!!! Mochi is bonded to Suede, and must be adopted with her, see Suede's profile here: https://www.underdogaz.com/animals/#action_0=pet&animalID_0=21202316&petIndex_0=131

The 2nd picture is of them cuddling together!

Mochi is a sweet and affectionate companion who is ready to fill your home with love and warmth! She thrives on being close to her humans, whether it's snuggling on the couch or lounging peacefully in her dog bed. Her gentle and calm nature makes her the perfect cuddle buddy for quiet moments, and she truly enjoys a relaxed environment. Mochi's playful side shines through when she has her small, fluffy toys, though she's not one for fast-paced games like fetch or chase. Instead, she enjoys taking her time with her toys at her own leisurely pace. As a low-energy dog, she's content with a good walk, followed by a long nap to recharge. On walks, she is a dream, walking at a steady pace without pulling, making her a fantastic leash walker. 

When it comes to other pets, Mochi is adaptable and respectful. She's great with people and would thrive in a calm, loving home, especially with other non-dominant animals. While she isn't the type to instigate anything, she's confident in setting boundaries when necessary, especially if another dog gets too domineering. Mochi has been around both cats and chickens with no issues, so she's comfortable with various types of animals in the home. Whether she's the only pet or part of a multi-pet household, she will fit in effortlessly. Mochi is very home oriented, and has no tendency to bolt out of the door and is well-behaved off-leash. Though she's not an excessive barker, she'll alert you to the arrival of a guest or a delivery, always keeping an eye on her surroundings. She can be a little overzealous when it comes to treats! Currently, she has made great progress in her weight loss journey, shedding 9 pounds! She'd love a family who can continue supporting her in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, with regular walks and a balanced diet. Mochi is ready to become your loyal, loving companion.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All potential adopters will be required to complete our Adoption Application, read and sign our Adopting Policies and Procedures, and participate in a home visit by one of our adoption representatives. Our Adoption Application is located on our website: www.underdogaz.com.

We also have a mandatory two-week Foster With Intent to Adopt trial period for all animals in order to be certain the pet is a good fit for your family.

Our standard adoption fee for dogs is $200; puppies are $250.

Non-standard fees do sometimes apply. Puppies younger than six months may have a higher fee. Designer dogs, purebreds, and other toy type breeds may also have higher adoption fees than the standard $200.

We do, however, have discounted fees for dogs that are seniors, a pair of dogs adopted together, or cats. If you are a veteran or an active duty service member, please ask about our partnership with Pets For Patriots.

All Underdog pets are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped prior to adoption.

We are a 501c3 non profit, your donations save lives and are 100% tax deductible.

Go meet their pets

We attend multiple adoption events throughout the valley during Spring and Fall.
If you are interested in a specific pet, please complete our adoption application found on our website and we can then coordinate a meet and greet.
