Story
Meet Mocha!
Sweet, petite, and absolutely adorable, meet Mocha!
Mocha is a beautiful 2-year-old female Dachshund who is ready for a fresh start and a loving family to call her own!
This sweet girl was surrendered to our rescue by her previous owner in South Texas. Now Mocha is getting a second chance at finding the happy, loving home every dog deserves!
Mocha has been around children a handful of times and has been friendly during those interactions! Her experience with other dogs is somewhat limited, as she has primarily been around her Shih Tzu brother.
We’ve been told Mocha is house-trained! However, she has only lived indoors and hasn’t had opportunities to go outside. She may need a refresher on potty training as she adjusts to a new home and learns an outdoor potty routine. Her future family should be prepared to offer patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement during this transition.
At approximately 2 years old, Mocha is past the puppy stage, but she may still need some time to adjust to life in a new home. Patience, consistency, and plenty of love will help her settle in and build confidence.
Mocha is scheduled to arrive in Virginia on November 13th! She is currently in boarding, so we don’t have a full picture of her personality and temperament just yet. Once she arrives and settles into foster care, we’ll be able to share more about this sweet girl!

Why Adoption Fees Matter
Most of our dogs are rescued from high-intake shelters or straight off the streets in South Texas, where packs of stray animals run loose. Your adoption fee directly covers the significant costs required to bring these dogs to safety.
We are a registered nonprofit rescue, and any funds remaining after expenses go directly toward helping animals with major medical needs who might otherwise be left behind and euthanized.
Your adoption fee covers:
Transport: Safe transport from Texas to our local foster homes, costing approximately $200 to $230 per dog.
Vetting & Preventive Care: Spay surgery, age-appropriate core vaccines, deworming, a heartworm test (if age appropriate), and microchipping.
VCA Medical Partnership: Every adoption includes a complimentary first exam at any participating VCA Animal Hospital within the first 14 days. VCA also provides limited health coverage of up to $250 for qualifying minor illnesses, such as kennel cough or ear infections, diagnosed during that initial two-week window.
Important Rescue Policies
No Foster-to-Adopt Program: We do not offer a foster-to-adopt option. The majority of our dogs are already settled into loving local foster homes, and we aim to minimize unnecessary moves for their emotional well-being. Additionally, our rescue insurance policy prohibits it.
Breed and Size Guarantees: We cannot guarantee the breed mix or adult size of any dog in our care. Listed breeds are our best guess based on physical traits. Because our dogs are rescues with unknown histories, we cannot guarantee that a dog is not mixed with pit bull.
