Mocha is back!

You read that correctly...my dear Mocha-bear is back on the market.  His adoptive mom absolutely loved him, but he wasn't getting along with the cat.  I wasn't there, so I don't know the situation, but my advice to any future adopters with cats would be to give them a chance to work it out on their own.  It might take a day, it might take a month, but I have no doubts that Mocha could eventually live in harmony with anyone.

Mocha did get a full body shave when he came back.  Silly me, I forgot to take pictures last night, but I think they took some at the daycare and are planning on updating his petfinder listing.  He looks completely different!  But so stinkin' cute!

Update:
It's one thing for me to describe Mocha, to say how wonderful he is and to tell everyone that he'd be the perfect adoptee...but it's quite another to have someone outside the organization give their opinion on him.  After his adoptive mom brought him back (and I can tell from speaking to her that it was a very difficult decision), she sent me the following email, which I am copying here with her permission:

Dear Savannah,

This morning  I took  Mocha to the Day Care Center. Last night was there high anxiety. 

Please believe me when I say he is a perfect dog.  He is completely housebroken.....he rarely left my side.

He is affectionate and loving.  He was devoted to me.   We spent a great deal of time out side these past two days.

He LOVES to go out and walk and investigate....meet other dogs. I met many neighbors, I sat or stood and talked with them holding Mocha....he was very comfortable......If I sat on a chair  he sat on my lap ....absolutely, no problem.  I must share
he would not take to a crate here......

I don't think he ever saw a cat.....he ran  like  heck and barked  and barked ..following that he began to look for him.

I picked up a baby gate yesterday.... to separate ...they each had their own spaces from the get go
Last night it accelerated....Mokie  almost caught him couple of times. lHe was stressed and confused.....

I felt he is perfect as he is..... he just isn't  into cats........why should he have to adjust to a new set problems.

He loved the the discs to chew and hide....he likes piano music....he was beginning to sit.....he is smart and
supersensitive....almost always trying to please.... he likes a little canned food.  I love himand I know he is soooo
ready for a home he has had enough hard times....
Thank you for everything.....


Sincerely,
