Meet Miss Mocha!!

CAN WE TALK??? Am I on??

  
Here's my most magnificent pose below:

Okay!  Please make your favorite flavor MOCHA!!

Mocha is a mature gal who is move-in ready. She was reluctantly given up by her owners due to their medical issues and work schedule changes. She was adopted her 4 years ago from a shelter, and they guessed her age at 8 now, but her teeth, eyes, and mobility are more like 6, so we will split the difference and call her 7. In her foster home, Mocha is very well-behaved, knows basic commands, and is a pleasure to have around. She loves to show off sit, down, and paw. She will do anything for a treat! Mocha is crate trained; although, she can be trusted loose. Her favorite toy is an alligator stuffie that she carries around like her baby. Mocha loves to cuddle on the couch with her foster mom or sunbathe with the resident senior male Great Pyrenees. She also tolerates a younger, more energetic foster (Bubba) to chase and play in the yard. She lived with a male Maltese in her previous home. She gets along better with males, so she needs to be the only female dog in the home, and she prefers to dine alone without other dogs seeing what’s in her bowl. She is not a fan of the kitties in the foster home, so no cats for her. She would also be fine as an only dog.

Mocha would prefer her own fenced yard since she occasionally takes time to warm up to new people (especially some men in hats), but she is fine with the two guys in her foster home once she got to know them. She pulls a little on leash, so a fenced yard would offer her her own space for potty and exercise. Mocha LOVES the car and will happily lie in the back or rest her head on your shoulder as you drive. She is very food motivated, and we bet you can still teach this old dog one new tricks if you show her a treat. Mocha doesn’t mind an at-home nail trim and has a beautiful thick coat for a blue Dobe. Her eyes are so mesmerizing. In her previous home, she lived with an older child, and at this point in her life, she’d appreciate kids 12 and up (if any).

She would make a great companion for anyone who is looking for a nice, calm, polite, no-work-needed best friend. Mocha’s foster mom says she’s a good balance of Doberman velcro affection and independence.

Special Needs if any: Mocha is on an inexpensive medicine to control very common incontinence and has an occasional pee accident on the rug during a long day, but that’s standard for an older gal.

Geographic areas: Illinois and the surrounding states.
