Notes from Montgomery County Animal Services and Adoption Center

MOCHA11 years • 80 pounds • Available nowA DARK ROAST WITH A SPLASH OF CREAM AND A SMILE THAT'S SLIGHTLY CROOKED.Her name is Mocha and her coat is a dark roast, the good kind — deep warm coffee brown, a splash of cream on her chest, feet speckled white and coffee bean. Then she looks up at you, that snaggletooth peeks out, and that's pretty much it for you. She gives a hero's welcome every single time someone comes through a door: gone five minutes, gone all day, same crooked delighted smile either way. She's easy on leash and a devoted fan of the slow pace — no pulling, no agenda, just a nice loop at a speed that lets you both look at things. Mocha has spent more than a decade being somebody's constant companion, and she is very good at it. Everything you'd normally spend two years teaching a dog, she already knows. She's gentle, low key, and a quiet house sounds like heaven to her. She won't need a job to do or a training plan — she'll settle where you settle, get up when you get up, and consider that a day well spent. Eleven isn't old for a dog like this. It's practiced. She knows exactly what she's for, and she's got a lot of love left and that snaggletoothed smile she's saving for you. Ask a staff member to meet me!

What happens next

  1. Contact Montgomery County Animal Services and Adoption Center using the button. AdoptNearby does not take applications.
  2. They will send you their application or ask a few questions about your home.
  3. Most organizations arrange a meet, sometimes a home visit, then a small adoption fee that usually covers spay or neuter and vaccines. That fee is paid to Montgomery County Animal Services and Adoption Center, never to AdoptNearby.
