Update 11/8/24: Mocha is currently going through some behavioral training to see if she would be a good match for an outside home. She truly loves her foster mom and her fursibling so if she is to be adopted, we would want someone who is kind and patient and allows her to adjust to her new surroundings. She will attach to her adopter very quickly and wants nothing more than to be loved. She doesn't like when strangers enter her home and she needs time to decompress when they enter. After a short while she will come to you and accept you into her pack. Please be patient as we seek answers for her future.

UPDATE 10/7: We are putting her adoption status on hold while we complete some new medical.

Update 9/19/24: Mocha is a real Texas Love Bug!! Her adopters will wonder how they ever lived without her as part of their family. Thats exactly what she wants to be by you, do everything with you, and give you hugs and kisses to let you know how much she appreciates you.

Please scroll through Mochas previous monthly profile updates, below - and if you are interested in adopting her, click on the Adoption Application link below or contact her foster mom at the email address listed below. And thank you for your interest in adopting a United Yorkie Rescue dog!

Update 8/6/24: If you're hoping to meet a sweet young doll who wants nothing more than to follow you everywhere (including the bathroom) then Mocha is your girl! Mocha gets along well with other small dogs and would love another younger dog in the family to romp and play with. Somewhere in her short life, Mocha has learned that protecting her people is her number one job and her first instinct when meeting people or some dogs on a walk is to show them that she is the entire police force in one little package. But, she's learning that no one wants to hurt her or her people. Her Furever Home should be calm, quiet, chaos free and without children because, right now, she confuses high energy play, voice or yelling as threatening. Foster mom believes that Love Conquers All and says that Mocha is a smart little cookie that wants to please her family more than anything so she's trying hard to overcome her negative instinct thing but it will take your help.

As reported in earlier profile updates, Mocha loves belly rubs and any attention that is given to her. She enjoys laying on the grass in the sunshine every day and she does well on a leash and loves walks. She knows what sit, stay, wait and quiet means. Mocha rides well in a car and she loves to sleep beside her person at night. Mocha now weighs 15 pounds and she's healthy, microchipped, is fully vaccinated, had a successful dental including teeth clean/polish and now tests heartworm negative, and she is on a regular monthly protection preventative.

Mocha is a special gal hoping to find her Furever Home. If you are interested in adopting her, click on the Adoption Application link below or contact her foster mom at the email address listed below. And thank you for your interest in adopting a United Yorkie Rescue dog!

Update 6/26/24: Hi! Its me Miss Mocha, your very own Texas Beauty Queen! It is summertime now and I read my email every day, hoping this will be the day that my Furever Family is going to click on Submit Application at www.uyr.us. Just look at me now: I am healthy, microchipped, have had all of my shots, had my teeth polished, tested heartworm negative and I am on regular monthly prevention protection just like my other rescue friends. My favorite things to do are: follow you wherever you to throughout the house, sit on your lap, and cuddle my neck in the crook of your neck. I adore belly rubs and any other attention that you give to me. I like to lay in the sunshine every day and I love to take short walks when the sidewalk is cool. I like it when you toss my toys and I can run fast and slide on the floor to fetch them. My foster mom says that I am super smart and I know what sit, stay, and quiet mean. I like car rides and I would like it if you would allow me to sleep beside you at night but if not, please make me a bed that touches your bed because I want to be as close to you as possible. You just have to show me what you want and I will learn how to do it because I see stars and rainbows whenever you pat me on the head and say, Good girl, Mocha!.

Update 4/4/24: Happy Spring from Mocha! I'm enjoying the beautiful Spring weather of Texas Hill Country and having great times watching the butterflies and smelling all of the fresh new outdoor smells. I have a carefree and loving personality and I am told that I am a soulful little gal. The thing I like best in the whole world? Its to be in the lap of my person. I put the V in the term Velcro dog. I must warn you: I come with my own set of rules like: you will never go to the bathroom alone for the rest of your life and you will never walk from one room to another without me by your side.

I am a Yorkie mix and I'm in the 2nd month of a four month-long treatment plan to address heartworms. The vet says I'm otherwise in good health and I am working on my social skills and manners with my foster mom every day. I will do best as an only dog or with two or more other small dogs where I can settle into the pack. I am a smart young dog of school age. I really want to please my family, that's one way that I show my love!

I like to play with my toys every day and I will scramble after them when you toss them but I haven't got the hang of bringing them back to you yet. If you're interested, you can visit www.uyr.us and scroll to Adoption Applications; my foster mom will contact all applicants.
