About Mora

Mora is a sweet and gentle young girl who can be shy and a bit nervous at first, especially when meeting new people or in new environments. With patience, calm voices, and affection, she slowly begins to relax and show her loving personality. She enjoys playing, spending time with other dogs, and loves hugs once she feels safe. Mora is joyful and playful, and she does well around other dogs, which helps her build confidence. Mora shares the same rescue story as Sadie, and they are sisters. In October 2024, they were rescued after being abandoned along with their siblings in a planter outside a school. They were very young and crying when they were found. Since then, Mora has been waiting for a loving forever home. Mora would do best with a patient and loving family who understands her gentle nature and is willing to help her feel safe and secure. In return, she will offer loyalty, sweetness, and love. It's essential to recognize that rescued dogs may have experienced trauma before arriving at ADAC. As a result, they may require an adjustment period in a foster or permanent home. Patience and understanding are crucial when dealing with rescued dogs. Rescued dogs may have fears and anxieties due to past experiences, and they need time to adapt to new environments and people. Patience and understanding can help build trust and strengthen the bond between the dog and their new owner. By understanding and supporting rescued dogs, we can help them overcome their trauma and find a loving home where they can thrive.

Ideal Home

  • Home with a fenced backyard
  • Active family that enjoys outdoor activities
  • Families with a real intention to rescue a dog, not just adopt
  • Families with an open conscience about the rescue of street animals and their behaviors of need for protection and education
  • Experience in dog behavior and training background, or willingness to hire a trainer
  • High tolerance and patience for rescued puppies

Ongoing Health

Mora is spayed/neutered, has received 2 DHPPI vaccines, a rabies vaccine, a Bordetella vaccine, and has been dewormed. She is microchipped, tested negative for heartworm, and has a negative 4DX test. She is on monthly Nexgard Spectra preventive for fleas, ticks, and heartworm. She has a health certificate and a vaccine booklet.

Training & Support

Mora is not house-trained. It is important to understand that rescued pets are not always potty-trained, and ADAC has many pets in foster care, making it impossible to house-train each one. Patience and understanding are key when helping a rescued dog adjust to a new environment.

Application Details:

  • Applications start by contacting us through Wags.

Transportation

Mora is currently being fostered in Saltillo, Mexico, and is ready to travel to the East Coast on our next cross-country trip. Transportation is available door-to-door for a one-time fee of $400 USD. We organize 3-4 trips per year with a minimum of 15-20 adoptions per trip. Our contracted transport company sends a dedicated team to Mexico to collect adopted pets. Each pet is provided with all necessary legal documents, including a Transport Contract, Health Certificate from the USDA, and certificates regarding the health protocol administered. For US adoptions, pets are escorted across the border into Texas. For Canadian adoptions, pets are delivered to the nearest US-Canada border with all required paperwork. Adopters will be added to a private Facebook Messenger group with the transport team for real-time updates, photos, and videos of the pet's journey, including feeding, walking, and crate cleaning schedules. The transport team will deliver the pet directly to your home address and conduct a final home review.
