My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hey there! I'm Mochi, your future silly sidekick. I'm a young, energetic chow chow with a zest for life and a genuine love of other dogs. My best friend and playmate is former K9AR monarch, Tito. Playtime, puzzles, and walkies keep my busy brain happy, but nothing tops treats, road trips, and cold floors.

My thick coat needs regular brushing and detangling, plus regular home grooming to look my best. Trusting a groomer will take time; they need to understand my breed's aloofness and know not to shave a chow. I was born with hip dysplasia and though my hips have healed from surgery, I'm still very wary of anyone touching them.

Look, I'm 90% loyal to my special human, with 10% reserved for my most authentic self. Bringing a guy around? Nope. Husband or dad? Sorry, still no. Friends? They shall not perceive me. My attention and affection are yours... that is until you leave the front door open - then it's later days nerd!

So, what's my ideal match? A solo gal who works from home or is semi-retired, with another friendly chow or playful dog in an adult-only environment where my quirks and boundaries are respected. Oh, and a sense of humor is essential! (once you've seen my evening zoomies, you'll understand)

So how 'bout it - ya wanna spend, like, a lotta time getting to know each other?

Mochi is a female Chow/Spitz mix with an estimated date of birth of 02/10/2022.

We will contact you via email with approvals and/or requests should we need additional information. When we are able to reopen for adoptions, it will be by appointment only for pre-approved adopters with good vet references.

We will continue to do 3rd and 4th vaccinations for any previously adopted puppies from 10am-12pm on Saturdays at the adoption center.
Please follow instructions upon your arrival there.

You can find answers to many questions on our web site and within the bio of each

More about this rescue

K-9 Angels Rescue is an all-volunteer, all-breed canine rescue organization established in February 2012.

We are a rescue group for shelter dogs who run out of time. In other words, we are not a shelter, have no permanent facilities, and are not equipped to take in dogs from the public. We select dogs from the greater Houston "kill" animal control facilities who would not have made it out alive. (Don't worry! If you need help rehoming a dog, there are other non-profit groups who can assist you.)

No one involved in K-9 Angels receives ANY compensation. Our volunteers are compassionate animal welfare advocates who contribute their time, skills, and finances to shelter homeless dogs in Houston. To save the lives of the abandoned, abused, and stray dogs who end up in Houston's animal control facilities, K-9 Angels relies completely on adoption fees, donations, and our amazing volunteers.

K-9 Angels covers ALL costs for dogs currently in the program. During intake, every dog gets a microchip and is spayed or neutered (if old enough for the procedure). If the dog being adopted is not already altered at the time of their adoption, the dog will be altered within 2 weeks of adoption at our vet at our cost, with the exception of puppies which will be altered as soon as the puppy is ready. We fund all medical care necessary, even if we have to raise extra Helping Paw funds for special cases! From the time they enter the program to the time they graduate, K-9 Angels dogs are kept up-to-date on all vaccines (DHPP, bordetella, rabies) as well as heartworm and flea prevention.

We commit to K-9 Angels dogs until they are adopted.
Our volunteer foster homes patiently provide safety, love, and integration into a household environment - a key to successful adoptions. The biographies, pictures, and even videos from foster homes are important "pup-licilty" for our dogs! We are always in need of additional foster homes.

Our goal is a "fur-ever" home! We take every precaution not to contribute to the dog overpopulation problem here in Houston. Applications are processed according to our adoption policies to insure the best situation for our dogs and the families who adopt them.
