Meet Mochi!
Some things are just better when they’re sweet, and Mochi is one of them!
Mochi is a 1.5-year-old, 8.5 lb Maltipoo who is currently being fostered in Richmond Hill and is ready to find his forever family.
With his fluffy white coat, adorable face and sweet little personality, Mochi is pretty irresistible. His coat doesn’t shed, although, like all Maltipoos, he’ll need regular grooming to keep him looking his best.
Mochi absolutely LOVES his people. He’s a loyal little companion who wants to be wherever his favourite person is and will happily follow you around the house. He also loves going for car rides and is perfectly happy to curl up in his crate when it’s time to relax. His crate has become his own cozy little space, and he sleeps peacefully there all night.
And just like the delicious treat he’s named after, Mochi is sweet, smart and a little bit irresistible! He has a BIG love of treats, which makes training him extra fun. He already knows “sit,” has a great recall and is eager to learn more. His perfect family will continue helping him learn and grow with plenty of positive reinforcement and yummy rewards!
Mochi gets very excited when he’s out on walks and LOVES saying hello to the world around him. He can pull on leash and may bark when he’s especially excited to meet people or other dogs. He is friendly with dogs for the most part, but we think Mochi would really enjoy being the only pet in his home, where he can have all the attention to himself and be his family’s one and only.
Mochi is still working on his potty training, and his foster family is patiently helping him along. He was recently neutered, so we’re hopeful that some of his marking will settle as he adjusts. He’s making progress and just needs a family who will continue to give him consistency, patience and lots of encouragement.
Mochi is also a little watchdog and will happily let you know when something catches his attention. He isn’t excessively barky, and his foster mom thinks he could do well in an apartment as long as he has his crate and a cozy space where he can relax and feel secure.
We are looking for an adult-only home for Mochi. He isn’t always comfortable with quick movements or little hands, so we want his new home to be a calm environment where he can feel safe, understood and respected. Mochi does best when his boundaries are respected, and if something makes him uncomfortable, he may let you know with a little growl. His forever family will need to give him time to build trust and understand his communication.
Mochi is such a special little guy. He’s affectionate, loyal, clever, happy and absolutely full of personality. He’s the kind of little companion who wants to be part of your everyday life — whether that means coming along for a car ride, learning something new for a tasty treat or simply curling up nearby in his favourite cozy spot.
All Mochi needs now is the right person to give him the love, structure, patience and guidance he deserves. In return, you’ll get a whole lot of sweetness in one very adorable little package.
We think Mochi is ready to find his perfect match — could that be you?
