Why I need a new home

Infant, young children or pregnancy

My story

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

Mochi is a sweet senior pup with some special needs who is looking for a quiet, adult-only home where he can feel safe and loved. He is both blind and deaf, so he relies on routine and a calm environment to help him feel secure. He also has an adorably long tongue that hangs out, but it doesn't require any special care.

Because of his age and sensory loss, Mochi can be easily startled and may react defensively if touched unexpectedly. He recently nipped at our young child when he was frightened, and for everyone's safety we've made the heartbreaking decision to find him a new home without children or frequent visitors.

Mochi would do best with an experienced dog owner who understands senior or special-needs dogs and can give him patience, consistency, and gentle handling. Once he feels safe, he enjoys resting nearby and being a quiet companion.

We love Mochi very much and want to ensure he spends his golden years in a peaceful home that fits his needs.
