The Mr. Mo Project: Saratoga Dog Lovers Non-Profit Spotlight

mr-mo-projectThe sad fact is that finding a placement for a senior dog that has been brought to a shelter can be difficult at best. The Mr. Mo Project is a non-profit dog organization in Clifton Park, NY, founded by husband and wife team Chris and Mariesa Hughes, who felt that senior dogs deserve to live out the remainder of their lives in a home where they are loved. The program is named in honor of their late and cherished senior dog, Mr. Mo.

The Mr. Mo Project is run by Rowdy To The Rescue, a 501c3 non-profit group that provides education about animal-friendly ways to control animal overpopulation and to rescue companion animals from kill shelters by placing them in forever homes. Team Mo at The Mr. Mo Project thinks all senior dogs deserve to live out their remaining years in a loving home and work hard to rescue senior dogs all over the country in two different ways:

  • Providing the necessary funds for medical expenses to owners considering placing their pooch in a shelter due to high expenses or illness so that dog and owner can remain together.
  • Rescuing senior shelter dogs at risk for euthanasia by pulling them, paying for vet bills, and transporting them by air or land anywhere in the country to their forever home.

The Mr. Mo Project relies entirely on the generous donations from Team Mo Sponsors and the Mr. Mo rescue community, which gives veterinarian medical assistance, free transportation to their forever homes, and other benefits to program dogs.

If you would like to provide a comfortable, happy home for a senior dog that needs a second chance to enjoy the remainder of his or her years, you can fill out the online foster application on their website.
