Mo's Story

Meet Mo!<br/><br/>A soulful five-and-a-half-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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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. His 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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>While Mo does need ongoing support, he gives back tenfold with his affection, loyalty, and the quiet joy of simply being close to someone who makes him feel safe. He's neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and just 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.<br/><br/>Are you the calm, compassionate guardian ready to give Mo the peaceful home he needs?<br/><br/>If you're interested in providing Mo with a loving home, please email adopt@joyfulpets.com for more information on adopting him! Please note that Mo will remain with his current family until a suitable new home is found for him.<br/><br/>Also, Mo is open to a long-distance adoption, love knows no distance when finding your perfect companion!

Joyful Pets Animal Rescue's Adoption Policy
At Joyful Pets, our adoption process is designed to create a smooth, supportive experience for both pets and the families who welcome them. We feature pets who are being lovingly rehomed by their current families, as well as adoptable pets from our trusted rescue partners. You can start by browsing our adoptable pets on Petfinder. When you’re interested in a pet, select “Start Your Inquiry” on that pet’s profile to connect with us. If your home aligns with the pet’s needs, we’ll coordinate an introduction with the pet’s current family and arrange a meet-and-greet. Please note that pets listed through our rescue partners follow their own adoption process, requirements, and fees. These details are provided directly by the rescue. For pets rehomed through Joyful Pets’ direct rehoming program, adoption fees currently start at $150 for dogs, $95 for cats, and $50 for birds, rabbits, ferrets, or other small pets. When helpful, we may also offer a foster-to-adopt trial period so families and pets can ensure a great match before finalizing the adoption. We’re grateful that you’re choosing adoption and giving a pet the opportunity to join a caring family. Our goal is to make the process clear, joyful, and well-supported, with resources available every step of the way.
