About Mo

Meet Mo!

This soulful six-year-old Chesapeake Bay Retriever mix has a gentle heart and a tricolor coat that are just waiting to be cherished in the right peaceful setting. Mo is a sweet snuggler, and 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. 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.

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. Mo 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. 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.

Ongoing Health

Mo has mild arthritis in his hind legs, but that doesn’t stop him from curling up beside his favorite human for a good cuddle. He needs to avoid poultry due to allergies. He's neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations.

Training & Support

Mo is house-trained, crate-trained, and knows basic commands like sit, stay, and come. He can become anxious and reactive in noisy, busy environments. He needs consistent companionship and gentle reinforcement to build confidence.
