Mocha – 8-Year-Old Female Chocolate Lab, Spayed, 95 Pounds
Background: Mocha's human dad recently passed away. Over the past four years, while he had caretakers coming into his home to care for him, they didn't do much for Mocha besides feed her. She has skin allergies that require medication and since none of that was applied, she has spots of missing fur from itching and scratching. The adult children came to stay with their dad and Mocha. After their dad passed, they reached out to Lab Rescue.
What Mocha's Foster Says: Mocha is such a sweet, easy going lady! She is one of the biggest snuggle bugs, and will happily cozy up to wherever the people are at. She took a couple days to ease into a new environment, but was always happy to listen to us talk and snooze on the couch. She is great with kids and other dogs. Despite being a little shy in new places she loves going for car rides and the feeling of the wind in her ears! A little skittish around clanging noises, but is overall happily curious. She is fairly low energy and enjoys 2-3 15 minute walks a day around our apartment, but has not cared to go out on a leash when she has access to a yard. Mocha is a great listener and has responded well to leash training so far!
What Mocha's Rescue Rep Says: Upon first meeting Mocha, she barked at us and backed away, but within seconds, with a treat, she took it gently and became our best friend. We took her on a walk in her quiet residential neighborhood; she initially was reluctant to come with us and continued to look back at the home she's known all of her life. She pulled a bit on the walk, but nothing unmanageable with someone who is steady on their feet. We didn’t encounter any dogs on the walk but her foster has a dog and they were fine from day one. She has several patches of missing fur, and the adult children said she has allergies which are maintained with medication that hadn't been given over the last few years. Mocha is a sweet and gentle lady. We’re looking for a forever home where Mocha will be treated as a cherished member of the family and receive the continued attention and care she needs. She is housetrained.
Medical: Mocha is spayed and vaccinated for Rabies. We will be getting her in for a general exam soon, to include an updated heartworm test, possible DHPP and to have her skin checked.
