Meet Mo!
Mo is a soulful six-year-old Chesapeake Bay Retriever mix whose gentle heart and tricolor coat are just waiting to be cherished in the right peaceful setting. He's 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. 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.
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. 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 needs to avoid poultry due to allergies. He also 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 is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations.
