My story
Note: Mochi is in Korea now but will arrive in Toronto on Oct 31 once adopted.For more info about the dog or the adoption applicaiton, please click here.Adopt Mochi, the Gentle Jindo Mix Who Melts for Treats and Naps Belly UpMochi is a gentle young Jindo mix who goes soft the second he sees a treat, and once he feels at home, you’ll find him fast asleep on his back with his belly in the air. He’s calm with new people, good with kids, and friendly with every dog he meets.Quick FactsBreed: Jindo mix · Sex: Male · Born: September 2025 · Weight: 13 kg · Location: Korea (foster home) · Traits: Gentle, friendly, food motivated · Health: Neutered, vaccinated, healthyBackgroundIn December 2025, Mochi and his littermate Malang were rescued from a city pound in Gwangju, Korea. Even then, he loved people and had a sweet, easy personality, but he was very skinny from malnutrition. To help him gain weight, he moved into a foster home in May 2026. Since then, he has been living in an apartment with a small dog and three children. He has gained plenty of healthy weight and has become a calmer, more settled dog.PersonalityMochi is a gentle, good natured pup, and treats are his weak spot. Show him one and he’s all yours. When his people come to greet him in the morning, he hops up and down with excitement. His energy level is moderate, and he loves his walks just as much as his snacks. When he meets someone or something new, he takes a quick look first, then walks over and asks to be petted. On his own, he happily keeps himself busy with his toys. And when he’s fully relaxed, he sleeps on his back with his belly up.CompatibilityMochi isn’t shy with new people. He walks up calmly and politely to say hello, and he’s the same with men and women. His foster home has three kids in elementary and middle school, and he gets along well with all of them. As with any dog, time with children should be supervised while everyone gets to know each other. He loves being petted, and there’s no spot on his body he minds being touched. Being held takes a little longer. He needs to trust you before he’s comfortable being hugged, and he doesn’t like being suddenly scooped up, so it’s best to let him come to you.Mochi gets along with every dog he’s met. He loves running and playing with his dog friends, and even when treats are handed out to a group, he takes his share nicely without any fuss.Mochi hasn’t lived with cats before, so we can’t say for certain how she’d do. If you have cats, it’s important that you have experience introducing cats to dogs and that your home has enough space to keep them separate while they get used to each other.Behaviours & TrainingMochi does his business outdoors. He walks well on a leash and harness, and he stays calm around other dogs, cars, and motorbikes. He’s relaxed in the car and well behaved at the vet. He does well with baths, brushing, and nail trims. He doesn’t chew things he shouldn’t, and he rarely barks. He hasn’t shown any signs of separation anxiety. He knows “sit” and comes when his name is called, and sometimes he’ll “wait” too.Health & DietMochi is neutered, dewormed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations. He takes monthly parasite preventatives. He was very thin when he was rescued, but he’s gained weight well in foster care and is now a healthy 13 kg. He has no known allergies and no history of surgeries or treatments. His teeth are clean. He has passed the veterinary screening and is healthy and ready for a forever home.He eats kibble twice a day and has not shown any food allergies or sensitivities so far. He’s a good eater and happily finishes whatever he’s given.Ideal HomeMochi would do best in a calm, peaceful home. A big family is fine too, as long as the household is on the quieter side. Someone who works from home and has another friendly dog would be a lovely match for him.Mochi is a sweet, easygoing young dog who’s ready to share his happy hops and sleepy belly up naps with a family of his own. If you’d like a gentle friend who greets you with excitement every morning, Mochi is waiting for you.
