Moe and his new family.
How did you meet Mo?
After losing our dog earlier in the year, we decided that when it was time to rescue again we wanted to find a dog from a smaller community with fewer people able to adopt pets. We found BAPBR and Dogs of Del Norte County on Facebook. After spending weeks looking at potential new furry family members, we decided to travel from Portland to California to meet Mo, a smiley and soulful pit/boxer mix who had been featured as a shelter favorite.
Was it love at first sight?
When we arrived at the shelter, it didn't go exactly as planned. Mo was a sweet boy, but it was a rough environment to get to know a dog in. He was distracted by everything, he was not great on a leash, and he wasn’t super engaged with us. But we did have a few nice moments with him that helped us make the decision to bring him home. When Mo was so excited to see us the next day and we really felt that he was the right dog for us. After the six hour drive home, Mo walked in the house, headed over to his brand new bed and promptly fell asleep. We all knew he was home.
How is Mo adjusting to his new life?
Mo is sweet, silly, eager to please, super relaxed, and loves to follow us around and give kisses. We didn't expect that he would be this good so early on, but it’s evident that Mo knows he's home and could not be more grateful. He loves being spoiled with toys, treats, soft places to sleep, his daily walks, trips in the car, and of course, mealtime! Most of all, he loves us unconditionally and the three of us have bonded so much in the last couple of months. We are so grateful that Mo is a part of our family thanks to BAPBR and Dogs of Del Norte County. It is already impossible to imagine our lives without him.
