This beautiful boy is Mochi - he is 14 months old, is healthy, neutered, microchipped and up to date on his vaccines. His current owner loves him very much but a change in her lifestyle has her looking for a more suitable home for Mochi. This pup was originally brought to the USA from Albania by a rescuer. He is calm, house-trained, loves people, love chasing cats (a cat-free home would be best) and good with dogs but prefer playing with female dogs, as I've noticed!
In general, Mochi is shy and he hides behind his owner when they encounter dogs on walks, but he clearly shows interest and wants to play once he feels safe. A patient home that would love him and understands gentle introductions would be ideal for Mochi.
Despite his rough start on the streets of Albania, Mochi has been a wonderful companion- he is affectionate, playful, and deeply bonded to his person
From his owner: I love him very much but my lifestyle is not for him. He needs a stable home, love and care, and I truly hope he finds what he deserves!
Although Mochi is not a NorthStar dog, we will be processing applications on behalf of his owner. Please fill out an adoption application at www.northstarpets.org and ask for him by name, XP MOCHI!
