Meet Mochi

MOCHI NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!     Come meet Mochi and other great adoptable dogs this Saturday (January 7th) from 12-2 pm at the Potomac Yard PetSmart in Alexandria (3351 Richmond Hwy, Alexandria, VA 22305)!         Name: Mochi        Best Guess for Breed:  Shepherd Mix      Best Guess for Age:  10 weeks as of 12/25        SEX:  Female   Estimated Weight (puppies' weights change quickly!):  11 lbs as of 12/25   Gets Along With:  Most puppies are in the prime of their socialization window and will do well with other dogs, cats and kids so long as they receive patience and proper training.   Currently Living at: DC area foster home   Special Adoption Considerations:   Puppies under 6 months of age need to have multiple potty breaks/exercise throughout the day. Potential adopters with a standard 8-hour workday must be willing to make arrangements to meet the needs of their puppy.  Mochi is Looking For:  Her forever home! Mochi doesn't know what she did to end up in this scary shelter, but she is ready to gather her puppy belongs and move right into a warm and safe forever home! She'd love to have a home with lots of toys, treats, and love (not necessarily in that order, though!). Once she gets a little older, she'd love to be taken on lots of walks to explore her new neighborhood and make loads of doggie and human friends. She'd also love to take a puppy class or two---she's heard there are treats at the classes and she's keen to join. What do you say? Is this scruffy-headed cutie the puppy for you? What My Foster Says About Me: Mochi has been adjusting great. She is already picking up sit, loves her toys and is very food motivated. She is very curious, loving, loves getting belly rubs and giving kisses. She has does well in her playpen so far, and has enjoyed sitting on our balcony or by the window watching what is going on outside.  Puppy Vetting Requirements:    Lucky Puppies have had their age appropriate vaccines, but may not yet be “fully” vaccinated. It is the adopter’s responsibility to ensure that the remaining puppy vaccines are given at the appropriate time. Please also keep in mind that, until your puppy is fully vaccinated, they are at greater risk for illness than an adult dog.      Due to this puppy’s young age, she/he has not yet been spayed or neutered.  As part of the adoption contract, it will be your responsibility, as the adopter, to ensure that this is done no later than April 11, 2023. There are NO EXCEPTIONS and NO EXTENSIONS to this date. A non-refundable spay/neuter deposit will be collected if you would like Lucky Dog to pay for this animal to be spayed/neutered at one of our low cost partner vets.   Your new puppy will need to work on their house training and will also need to go to obedience school so they can grow into a well-socialized dog!  TO ADOPT:   The adoption fee for this dog is $425, which includes the cost of routine vetting and transport from the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online bit.ly/adoptaluckydog   Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption. That said, we cannot make any guarantees about age, breed or temperament.   Thank you for contacting Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and helping to save a life! Please visit us online at    www.luckydoganimalrescue.org   .
