Meet Mocha!
A loving three-and-a-half-year-old Doberman/Golden Retriever mix currently in Oceanside, CA, whose heart is as big as his 80-pound frame and just as full of warmth and devotion. Cloaked in a stunning black and tan coat, Mocha brings the best of both breeds. Loyalty, intelligence, and playful charm into one big bundle of affection who’s convinced he belongs in your lap!
Mocha is a joyful spirit at home, where he enjoys romping in the backyard, fetching his favorite toys, and playfully palling around with his smaller dog sibling. He’s a master cuddler and a sweet companion who knows how to unwind after a good round of zoomies. Mocha is house-trained, microchipped, neutered, and knows several handy commands like “sit,” “lie down,” “go,” and even “go to sleep.” His routine is simple: two meals a day, playtime, and lots of love!
While he shines with his family and does wonderfully with older kids and familiar guests, Mocha can be cautious around new adults. With slow, structured introductions and a confident caregiver who can guide him through new experiences, he thrives. One of his more memorable moments was when a surprise visit from a neighbor triggered his protective side, he ran after the visitor but never bit, showing more bark than bite. This moment highlights his need for a calm home with thoughtful management during greetings and transitions.
Out on walks, Mocha is curious about other dogs but tends to pull on the leash, especially when excited. He’s not reactive or noisy, just strong and eager! A little leash training and daily exercise will go a long way in helping him be the best walking buddy. His ideal family will be experienced with larger dogs, comfortable providing structure, and perhaps have a fenced yard where Mocha can let loose in a safe space.
