Mochi was surrendered by his former owner and has been with us (his fosters) since. For such a big change, he's really taken it in stride. He's so sweet. And you'd never guess he's almost six years old given how playful and energetic he is. He likes fetch and tug, and expects you to play too if you're sitting on the couch. If you're working, otherwise busy, or out of the apartment, he's content to lounge around and sleep for hours. He's not well trained, but he is good natured, super smart, and food motivated, so we're working on it. Mochi is approximately 5y 9m 29d old and is fully grown at 68 pounds. They are microchipped and up to date on all age-appropriate medical care. Their breed is unknown as we have not had a DNA test done. Although our dogs are listed as unknown breed, buildings with specific dog restrictions typically enforce their rules based on what breeds a dog appears to resemble. It's always important to keep that in mind and know your building's policies before adopting a dog. This dog is available for adoption through Muddy Paws Rescue. If you're interested in adopting, the first thing you should do is begin the registration process at www.muddypawsrescue.org. If you are already a registered adopter with Muddy Paws Rescue, please email us at adoptionmeetings@muddypawsrescue.org.
This dog's breed isn't known, so here's general guidance for mixes.
🧠 Temperament
He's not well trained, but he is good natured, super smart, and food motivated, so we're working on it. Every dog is an individual — temperament depends far more on this dog's history and personality than on breed.
🎾 Exercise
He likes fetch and tug, and expects you to play too if you're sitting on the couch. Most adult dogs do well with 30-60 minutes of walking a day plus play and sniffing time.
✂️ Grooming
Brush regularly, bathe as needed, keep nails trimmed and ears clean.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
If you're working, otherwise busy, or out of the apartment, he's content to lounge around and sleep for hours. Ask the rescue about leash manners, elevator and stair comfort, alone-time tolerance, and whether the dog settles in a small space.
