Mojo

Mojo is becoming the BRAVEST BOY!

Mojo arrived at CTDR from a shelter in South Texas and is now fully vetted and ready to find his forever home. He was a timid little guy who needed time and patience to feel safe. When he first met new people, Mojo appeared nervous and cowered, but now willingly and politely goes up to strangers to sniff, say hello, and see if they have any treats they want to offer him.

His favorite thing to do is go on walks. Somehow having a leash on is like putting his armor on and flips the switch from cautious to brave.

Mojo today is excited and dances around when his person comes home, loves to go in the yard and lie down in the grass and bake in the sun - and if joined by a friend, it's the best time for zoomies. He is most affectionate at night, loves his quiet one on one time. He's willing to let the pets last for a very long time if you are willing - he's a bit like a kid who asks for one more book to be read at bedtime.

He has never shown any destructive behaviors, enjoys sleeping in his crate/bed, has always done all his business outside, doesn't jump on furniture, or people, doesn't bark - except at "intruders" who might be walking their dogs along his fence line or come to the door. He still is skittish with loud sounds and fast movements, but this brave boy certainly knows how to show his love to his person. That person needs to have a heart for traumatized dogs and understand him and accept his cat-like personality, and lets him take the lead on when he is ready and wants the interaction. It's all the sweeter when he does, knowing how brave he has had to be to get to that point.
