autious, and unsure with people, but seemed to love and thrive in playgroups, something the other shelter doesn't have the current resources to do every day. Mochi's VERY toy-driven and would love someone who can provide lots of toys and has a great sense of humor for his antics. He really just wants to be included and spend time with his people. Mochi is a bit of a shy guy at first. Shelter life is hard on sensitive dogs, and Mochi takes some time to warm up to new faces. He communicates clearly when he needs space — through body language like stiffening or lip licking — and does best with people who go slow, stay calm, and let him come around in his own time. Once he trusts you, that patience really pays off. He's been moved into an office, and seems to be accepting and adjusting to strangers and new people more comfortably than he was when he was in a kennel. The best part of Mochi? Once he feels safe, his true personality shines. In playgroup, he starts out a little reserved but quickly relaxes, and once comfortable he loves greeting other dogs, playing gently (or zooming full speed), and — his absolute favorite — splashing around in the pool. Mochi is ready for a patient, understanding family who can give him the calm, consistent environment he needs to keep growing into his best self. If you're looking for a loyal companion who just needs a little time and someone in his corner, Mochi could be exactly the good boy you've been looking for. *Mochi does have a bite history involving a young child. The incident occurred during a moment of high energy and stress for everyone involved, and it's likely that the commotion and overstimulation in the moment played a significant role; the resulting injury was a few minor punctures when the child was lifted by their parent. Because of this, Mochi is looking for a home without young children — one with the experience and understanding to help him continue building confidence and trust.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
