Mocha is an energetic happy little gal who is friendly & has some hops! She knows "sit" and is housebroken. Mocha came to BARCS at no fault of her own. She was described by her previous owner as friendly and playful. She is housebroken, and can be crated. She loves going on walks, cuddling, and getting attention. She has interacted with children of all age and did well.
Mocha is currently in a foster home where her foster family reports that she loves to explore the outdoors, snuggle her human, play tug of war, and go on car rides. Mocha is a very affectionate, loving girl! She loves to give hugs and kisses. She's getting the hang of playing fetch but returning her ball is a work in progress. Her favorite game is tug of war and she loves to keep busy with her Kong and tennis balls. Mocha is housetrained and alerts her foster when she needs to go outside. She loves to be outside and enjoys going on walks. She walks well on a leash but can get excited and pull occasionally. Mocha is extremely friendly and loves to say hello to people that walk by. She is also crate trained.
Mocha has met other dog pals at BARCS, she does best with gentle playmates and requests to meet any doggie roommates to make sure they are a good match.
If you're interested in meeting Mocha, please fill out an application and email dogfosters@barcs.org to be connected with her foster family.

BARCS takes in new animals in need of a loving home every day. The pictures above only represent a portion of the animals that are available for adoption at any given time. Some animals get adopted immediately and their photos never make it onto our website—which is wonderful! If you don’t see what you are looking for, please visit our shelter to meet your perfect match today! Adoption fees are $75; however, we offer several adoption packages listed here. Our adoption hours are Monday-Friday from 2-6 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday from 11 a.m.-4 p.m.

Step 1: Check out the adoptable cats, dogs and small companion animals listed on our website. Animals with a blue “I’m in Foster” banner are not currently in our shelter. Check www.barcs.org for our adoption process for animals in foster homes.
Step 2: Visit our shelter during adoption hours (Monday-Friday 2-6 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday 11 a.m.-4 p.m.). When you arrive, you will first be asked to fill out our Shelter Adoption Application with your information. You may also pre-fill our Shelter Adoption Application ahead of time online to save time when you are at the shelter. Your application will be processed after you meet the animal.
Step 3: Tour our adoption rooms and write down the names of animals that you would like to meet. A volunteer or staff member will help you meet your chosen animals to make a match!
Step 4: When you have selected the right animal for you, our Adoptions Team will run your Adoption Application for approval. Once your application is approved, you will participate in an adoption class where you will learn all of the details about your new adopted family member, including their known history and medical records.
What else to expect: Animals who are already spayed/neutered and past their stray hold (if applicable) can often go home with you the same day. Pick-up arrangements for unaltered animals and/or animals still on a stray hold will be made during your adoption class.

More about this shelter
BARCS is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization operating Maryland’s largest animal shelter and pet adoption center. We are an open admission shelter, granting refuge to every abandoned, neglected, abused, lost or surrendered animal that comes through our door. A staggering 30 or more animals are surrendered to BARCS every day. No matter what the circumstance, we do not turn away any animal in need of shelter, food, medical care and a loving touch. Yearly, this equates to more than 12,000 dogs, cats, kittens, puppies, and even wildlife and exotic animals that need care and placement.
