05/28/2016 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: One word: Mochalicious!! This gorgeous little puppy girl was left at a police precinct by a homeless person and has quickly won the hearts of staff and volunteers. She’s gorgeous in her shiny coat, has a wonderful smile and tail wag, may be housetrained (she ‘went’ as soon as we were out the door) and is all puppy energy and friendship. She pulls on the leash a bit but that’s all about her enthusiasm for exploring and discovering new things, she loves to give hugs and kisses, and her eyes sparkle with the excitement of making new friends of both the two legged and four legged kind. In group she engages in typical puppy play with another playful female. Mocha is looking for a fun and active home where playtime and love time are equal. She’s a fun, friendly adorable puppy on the cusp of being a rockstar adult; shouldn’t there be some mochalicious in your life? Meet her today.

05/26/2016 GROUP BEHAVIOR EVALUATION – AVERAGE
Exam Type GROUP BEHAVIOR
Mocha was initially unsure when she began to socialize off-leash, but after some time in the care center she opened up and began engaging in play. She runs “zoomies” through the yard and will attempt to get dogs to chase her. She arrived at the care center as a stray, so any in-home behaviors with other dogs are unknown. The behavior department feels that Mocha could go to a home with another playful dog, male or female. When off leash with other dogs, Mocha is intially unsure, however begins to engage in soft play with females once she warms up. 5/27 update: Mocha engages in typical puppy play with another boistrous female. 5/28 update: Mocha engages in running play, getting “zoomies” and soliciting the other dogs to chase her. When mounted she solicits play rather than offering correction.
