Shepherd - Mocha Schiff - Large - Adult - Female - Dog
Mocha was born about October 2, 2009 and weighs about 80 lbs. She is wonderful with other dogs, house trained and good on leash. It seems she'd like a home with no kids or older kids judging from her intake papers from the shelter where she was dropped off. Since I had the previous owners phone number I called and the kids she grew up with her 8 & 10 and seems she was sometimes intolerant of them. Interesting, is that one of their friends (male) was a child she would bark and growl at which makes me wonder what that child did to her when no one was looking. So, just in case, we should not place her in a home unless the kids are teens. I was told that she slept with cats and was wonderful with them. We've seen nothing but a really wonderful dog and so glad she made it here! She is people oriented and loves treats-a little greedy for them, actually. Must not have gotten many in her last home! She does well with other dogs and is kinda laid back. Her energy level is medium-like. She will like a more active family that will take her for walks and play outside. Mocha came to us with heartworm, but has been treated and should be re-tested in November/December. She will need to be kept on preventative, at least until the re-testing has been done. So, adoptions have been strong and we had room to rescue 29 dogs and 1 gorgeous cat from a high kill area. Not one complained about the long ride and all have settled in nicely. Many of them seem to have understood, right away, that they were now safe in our Dog House with fresh blankets, lots of Science Diet food, automatic waterers and even toys! It gets a little confusing when getting files ready for so many at once, so if a breed, size, age seems questionable with the photos shown, please let us know. We are doing the best we can to save as many as we can. We so appreciate your understanding and willingness to adopt a dog we know little about that would have been dead, within a few days, if they had not come here.
