Meet Mo!
Mo is a soulful six-year-old Chesapeake Bay Retriever mix with a gentle heart and a beautiful tricolor coat. At 75 pounds, he's a sweet snuggler who 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. Unfortunately, the hustle and bustle of city life have become too much for him, and city walks filled with strangers, dogs, and unpredictable sounds leave him anxious and reactive.
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 thrive in a home without cats or frequent visitors, as he is curious with a strong prey drive and unfamiliar animals can stress him out.
Ongoing Health
Mo is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. He needs to avoid poultry due to allergies. He also has mild arthritis in his hind legs, but this doesn’t stop him from curling up beside his favorite human for a good cuddle.
Training & Support
Mo is house-trained, crate-trained, and knows basic commands like sit, stay, and come. A guardian experienced with anxiety or reactivity in dogs, who uses positive reinforcement and has patience, 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.
