Each week, the Independent highlights an animal available for adoption at Baypath Humane Society in Hopkinton. This week’s adoptable animal is 4-year-old Mochi.

Here is Baypath’s description of Mochi:

“Mochi is a gentle, affectionate boy with the sweetest full-body wiggle greetings! He loves spending time with people, going for walks and making doggy friends.

“He can be a little nervous when meeting new people or in busy environments, but once he feels comfortable, his cuddly personality comes right out. Mochi loves giving hugs, snuggling with his people and enjoying a good play session.

“He’s looking for a family who can give him a little patience while he settles in and help him continue building his confidence.”

For more information on Mochi and any of the other available pets at Baypath, email adopt@baypathhumane.org or visit baypathhumane.org/adopt.
