A soulful six-year-old Chesapeake Bay Retriever mix currently living in Atlanta, GA, whose gentle heart and tricolor coat are just waiting to be cherished in the right peaceful setting. Mo is a sweet snuggler, at 75 pounds, he still believes laps are made for him! While he’s calm and low-energy indoors, Mo bonds deeply once he feels safe, especially with women, and becomes a loyal shadow to his favorite person. He’s house-trained, crate-trained, and knows basic commands like sit, stay, and come. His favorite activity? Snuggling close and soaking up affection! He's the kind of dog who makes quiet evenings on the couch feel like the coziest place on Earth. But Mo’s heart beats a little faster in today’s noisy world. Since moving to a busy city apartment, the hustle and bustle have become too much for him. City walks filled with strangers, dogs, and unpredictable sounds leave him anxious and reactive. He needs to be the only pet in the home. He’s a curious guy with a strong prey drive and unfamiliar animals can stress him out. He’s selective about other dogs and would thrive in a home without cats or frequent visitors.
Ideal Home
Mo's ideal home is a calm, structured environment in a quiet rural or suburban area, with a securely fenced yard where he can enjoy the outdoors without overwhelming stimuli. He needs to be the only pet in the home and would do best without cats or frequent visitors.
Ongoing Health
Mo has mild arthritis in his hind legs, but it doesn't stop him from cuddling. He just needs to avoid poultry due to allergies. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations.
Training & Support
Mo is house-trained, crate-trained, and knows basic commands. However, city walks filled with strangers, dogs, and unpredictable sounds leave him anxious and reactive. A guardian experienced with anxiety or reactivity in dogs, who uses positive reinforcement and has patience in spades, will help Mo begin to rebuild his confidence. Consistency and gentle companionship are key, and he’d do especially well with someone who works from home or has a predictable routine.
