Morray German Shepherd Dog Mix Cortez, CO

Meet Mo, a charming lad who goes by the nickname "MO". This sweet boy weighs around 100 lbs. and is currently on a strict diet to help manage his weight. Although it's just a guess, it seems that Mo may have been hit by a car in the past, resulting in a fractured leg and a noticeable limp. Despite the pain he experiences, Mo remains a gentle and loving dog who enjoys short walks, marrow bones, and playing with his stuffies. His foster parent describes him as the best dog they have ever fostered, noting how adorable his smile is when he receives treats.

Mo's health concerns include a low Thyroid condition, which has been affecting his overall well-being. To address this, he is currently taking Levothyroxine (.5mg) twice daily, Rimadyl (100 mg) twice daily, and Gabapentin (300 mg X2) twice daily. The monthly cost of these medications amounts to roughly $170. Despite efforts to remove the Gabapentin in consultation with the Vet, it was found that Mo experiences pain and stops using his leg without it. Additionally, Mo has recently started on heartworm preventive medication to ensure his continued health and well-being.

In terms of training, Mo knows basic commands such as sit and is gentle when it comes to food. He is good with kids, although his interactions with cats can lead to playful barking if they run. Mo is currently working on improving his leash walking skills and recall, as he tends to wander off and enjoys running alongside goats or horses in the pasture. Despite his challenges, Mo's foster parent is dedicated to providing him with the care and attention he needs to thrive and lead a happy life.
