Meet Mocha Roca – as strong & sassy as the legendary coffee candy that shares her name!

Mocha is a 7 year old Chihuahua mix.   She was surrendered to the shelter when her owner was no longer able to take care of her.  This tiny baby required surgery to remove an intestinal blockage and she suffered significant weight loss.  After follow-up testing at the clinic, she has now received a clean bill of health and has begun to put some weight back on her bones.  She has a great appetite & and going potty normally without issue.  She will always be on the small side, but grows stronger every day.

She is using potty pads while her foster mom is at work.  She loves to go outside for walks, behaves well on a leash, and is thrilled to put on her sweaters & prance through the neighborhood.  She has not, however, figured out that she needs to go potty outside.  After a lovely walk, she will come back in the house & potty on the pads.  She & her foster mom are working hard on connecting those dots for her.

Mocha is a great watchdog – you will immediately know if anyone is near your home with Mocha on the job.  She will sit on your lap for hours while you watch TV or read.  She will snuggle under the covers with you when it is bed time.  She just wants to be held. 

When she arrived at her foster mom’s house, she didn’t know how to play…not with other dogs, not with dog toys, and not with humans.  She now plays with the 3 other dogs in her home, sometimes starting the games herself.  She is well-behaved with her foster sisters, though  vocal with strange dogs & humans encountered in her outdoor walks.  She has shown improvement with this but that is also the nature of her breed.  

Mocha loves to be loved and wants to be the center of someone's world where she can be spoiled rotten.  She is a diva & craves being the center of attention - typical Chihuahua lol.   She warms up to new people slowly, but once you become familiar to her there is a ton of love in that  little body!

Mocha climbs so chain link fencing would not work for her – she would scramble to the top, then up & over!   A smooth type of fencing would be ideal for her if she were going to be let out to play or potty or she should be leash walked outside.

Mocha is spayed, up to date with vaccines, microchipped, flea/worm treated and tested neg. for heartworm.  Her adoption fee is $350
