You'll need to do 2 things:

1. Add the pet(s) you want to the template context, probably by implementing get_context_data[1].

2. Change your template to use the pet from the template context instead of the hard code pet, Mocha. Assuming your pet in the template context is named 'pet':

<a href="{% url 'pet_details' slug=pet.slug %}">Pet Profile: {{ pet.name }}</a>

...alternatively since you've implemented get_absolute_url:

<a href="{{ pet.get_absolute_url }}">Pet Profile: {{ pet.name }}</a>
