My story

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

☕🐾 Meet Mocha — a gentle little soul with a heart full of sweetness 🐾☕

Mocha is a 4-month-old Chiweenie (Chihuahua/Dachshund mix) who’s as warm and comforting as her name 💛. She’s a shy girl at first and just needs a few days to settle in — but once she feels safe, her true personality shines and her whole body wiggles with happiness 🥹🐶

Mocha is great with kids (especially ages 8–12) and does well with other dogs, though she can be nervous initially. Patient, respectful dog friends help her build confidence 🐕✨. She’s still learning to trust new people and may take a little extra time to warm up to men, but kindness and consistency go a long way with this sweet girl.

🏡 Mocha at Home:
😴 Sleeps peacefully through the night in her kennel
🚪 Making great progress with potty training and the doggy door
🐾 Learning leash skills and doing well so far (no full walks yet!)
🧠 Not trained in tricks yet — but eager to learn

💗 Mocha Loves:
• Other dogs
• Kids
• Cozy spaces
• Being close to her people

🚫 Mocha Dislikes:
• Loud or sudden noises
• Being rushed before she feels comfortable

✨ Mocha’s Must-Haves:
• Patient, gentle adopters
• Continued potty and leash training
• A calm, supportive environment

🏙️ Apartment Friendly?
Yes! With regular potty breaks and light exercise, Mocha can do great in an apartment 🏢🐾

🌟 Fun Facts:
• Already kennel-trained at night at just 4 months old
• Picking up the doggy door faster than most puppies
• Once she warms up, she’s a total sweetheart and playful cuddle bug

💛 Mocha’s Ideal Home:
A calm, loving home with patient humans who understand puppy nerves and are excited to help her grow into a confident, happy companion. A family with kids, a friendly dog sibling, or someone looking for a loyal little shadow would be perfect for Mocha.
