Meet Mocha – A Gentle Soul with Special Needs
Mocha is a 5-year-old spayed blue Great Dane with the softest heart and one of the most trusting, gentle temperaments you’ll ever meet. She truly adores people; whether you’re family or a brand-new friend, she greets everyone with quiet affection and complete trust. If you’re looking for a calm, loving companion who bonds deeply with her humans, Mocha is your girl.
Mocha is incredibly sweet, mild-mannered, and emotionally tender. She enjoys gentle play, short games of tug or chasing a stuffy for a few minutes at a time, but she’s not overly energetic. She is happiest being near her people and soaking up love.While Mocha is wonderful with humans, she does not enjoy high-energy, in-your-face dogs. Calm, respectful dogs with slow, structured introductions, especially senior or low-energy companions are welcomed. She gains confidence once she knows a dog.
Special Feeding Needs
Mocha has a history of intestinal struggles, so her diet is extremely important. She does not need expensive prescription food, but she must remain on a very low-fat diet (5% fat or less).
• She does best on soaked low-fat kibble (“mush”) paired with low-fat canned food
• Food must be fully soaked for several hours or overnight
• She currently eats 4–5 small meals per day
• Most canned foods are too high in fat for her—only specific low-fat formulas are safe
Because of her condition, Mocha will need an adopter who is committed to:
• Careful food selection
• Multiple daily feedings
• Consistency and monitoring Home & Lifestyle NeedsMocha requires a home where someone is present most of the day to maintain her feeding and potty schedule.
• She needs to go outside every 3–4 hours
• While she is now housebroken and understands not to go inside, she physically cannot hold it too long
• With proper water management and frequent potty breaks, she can stay accident-free
Mocha is incredibly smart and resourceful, especially when food is involved, so secure food storage is a must!
The Ideal Home
Mocha will thrive in a home that offers:
• A calm environment
• Low-energy or possibly no other dogs
• A structured feeding routine
• A flexible schedule for frequent potty breaks
• A family that understands medical management and is ready to continue her care
The Heart of It All
Mocha is truly one of a kind—a soft, soulful, deeply trusting dog who just wants to love and be loved. Her needs are unique, but so is the bond she offers in return. For the right home, Mocha will be an extraordinarily loyal, gentle, and devoted companion. If you have the time, patience, and heart to give this special girl what she needs, Mocha will give you everything she has in return.
