Story
ABOUT MOCHA & OREO Meet Oreo and Mocha, an inseparable duo of 12-year-old Shih Tzu brothers who are looking for a forever home together. These two came to HAP when their owners could no longer care for them, and they’ve been side by side ever since, truly bonded in every sense of the word. Oreo is the social butterfly of the pair, adorable, friendly, and always seeking affection. If you stop petting him, he’ll gently tuck his nose under your hand or scoot closer to make sure the love continues. He lives for treats, attention, and being close to his people. Mocha, on the other hand, is a quiet, gentle soul. He is blind and will need a calm, patient home where he can enjoy his golden years at a slower pace. Mocha’s favorite activities include curling up in a cozy spot and napping the day away, especially when he knows Oreo is nearby. These sweet senior brothers provide comfort and companionship to one another and must be adopted together. They are the perfect match for someone looking to open their heart and home to two loving seniors who ask for very little, just kindness, patience, and a soft place to land for their retirement days. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.
