Mocha (ID 582593) is a two year old, 74 pound Labrador retriever mix who previously was at a shelter in Key Largo before Hurricane Irma.  The shelter evacuated their animals prior to the storm with all intentions of bringing them back once all was clear.  Sadly, because of the devastation in the Keys, the animals are going to remain at the Humane Society of Broward County so they can find new homes.  Mocha is a fun-loving fellow with a lot of spirit and will do best with an active family.  Mocha loves to play fetch, he likes treats and he knows some basic commands.  This fellow would love a toy box full of toys and a family who will shower him with love.  Can you make his wish come true?
