About this Dog
The following is from her former owners: We got her as a puppy while we lived on four acres. Started training crate and recall immediately and introduced her to an ecollar at 9 months. She has a great recall off leash with her ecollar through most distractions. She has never been exposed to crowds/high traffic areas. She has been through several moves with us, mostly in apartments. Mocha is easily excitable and a very vocal girl (several people have assumed she was part husky). She is a submissive player with her one dog friend she has, always exposing her belly and letting him win. She lovesss being outside in the mountains or at the lake with us. She will chase sticks/rocks in the water and is a great swimmer. We have worked with a couple trainers on her reactivity toward strangers and dogs, we just haven't been able to keep up and maintain her training. The same trainers started her on scent work (sheds), and she has a FANTASTIC nose - which leads her to finding all the food our kids leave throughout the house. She has the neediness and softness of a border collie, but definitely guards like an LGD. She is demanding with the attention she wants and tends to match the energy of those around her. She has only ever been fed by hand or in her kennel, but she has a super high food drive (not really any toy drive). She has growled and snapped at our youngster for trying to move her food bowl before she thought she was done. She has shown discomfort around kids other than ours. She slinks around them and gets nippy (even after several times of seeing them), so I've just put her in her kennel when they are over. Mocha can walk slowly on a lead when it's enforced correctly. We have the most success with a prong/slip lead and food, and she obviously does better when she gets more consistent walks. She has cute little chatters/chomps with her teeth when she really wants to get to another dog. She will definitely take a mile if she is given an inch and will push people to see what they will let her get away with (specifically being pushy with attention). When we have her meet other dogs, we have to convey that we are completely in charge. If its in her house, we have her stay on her place (with corrections if she leaves). She is VERY vocal, but we don't let her leave her place for a couple hours until she is visibly relaxed and no longer triggered. We've had to keep her separate for a couple days before she's been fine and ignores/coexists with the dogs. If its in a different environment where she knows we don't have control, she will lunge/bark and snap after the dogs. She's been more testy with females than males. She's never been able to coexist with females, but when the introduction is over with males she is a cute little player. She was/is definitely under socialized. She's never been exposed to cats, (*4/6/2024 a volunteer exposed her to cats today and she was fine) but she likes chasing squirrels. She loves chewing on bones and squeaky toys, and running!! She could run for hours. When she gets out, she doesn't take off, and she's never had the chance to go after a dog so I don't know if she would chase it or not. The couple times she's gotten loose without us meaning to, she's just run circles around the people she's excited to see. Attention and food are her biggest motivators. She's very sensitive to harsh tones. She's never given the vet or groomers any problems (the groomers have been out of their house) and I have always trimmed her nails. I believe she's had her teeth cleaned a couple times at the groomers and has been fine. She doesn't get defensive over any part of her being touched. She has a nice off switch in the house (she could sleep all day), but I've never seen her relax outside unless its at night while camping. We utilize the "place" command quite a bit. She tends to be more possessive with other dogs around her water than her food, although I've never let other dogs around her food. ******* Since being at Old Farm Kennels we have found that she knows a ton of tricks...she seems relaxed and enjoys attention, especially walks or time out with volunteers. If you would like to meet her, just phone the kennel at 406 273-6837 to set a time.

Adopt Mocha and Receive Dogecoin
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Mocha's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is Mocha's current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Mocha, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Mocha's Dogecoin here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Mocha was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Mocha’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
We want the Mocha’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Mocha’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
