In a world where senior dogs are often neglected and overlooked, one extraordinary couple has dedicated their lives to making a difference. Their unwavering commitment and passion for these older dogs have led them to rescue and provide care for over 500 senior dogs, offering them a second chance at life.

This compassionate couple adopts senior dogs from shelters and ensures they receive all necessary medical care for the remainder of their lives. They cover all medical expenses, regardless of cost, to ensure these dogs receive the best possible care. Their journey began modestly, working with a local shelter, but their mission quickly expanded as they recognized the growing need.

Initially, their goal was to provide care packages for senior dogs, but as their passion and commitment grew, so did their efforts. They began taking in dogs from various shelters across the country, each with its own heartbreaking story. Their tireless work over six years has resulted in the rescue of 500 senior dogs, each one given a second chance at life.

The couple’s mission was inspired by Moses, a senior dog diagnosed with a spinal cord tumor. Moses was given only four weeks to live, and his plight deeply affected them. After losing Moses, they realized how many senior dogs languished in shelters or faced euthanasia due to the high cost of medical care. This realization spurred them to create the Mr. Mo Project, named in Moses’s honor, to ensure no senior dog would face such a fate again.

Their mission has been made possible by a network of passionate supporters who share their belief in saving senior dogs. These supporters have rallied around the couple, helping to raise funds and awareness for their cause. The couple aims to provide these dogs with “the best for the rest” of their lives, ensuring they are loved and cared for in their final years.

Despite their success, the couple has faced numerous challenges. There have been times when they did not raise the expected funds, forcing them to dip into their own savings. They have even resorted to selling personal belongings to cover the costs of medical care for their rescued dogs. “We sell anything that’s not nailed down in our house,” they told The Dodo, highlighting their unwavering commitment to their cause.

Their work has not only saved the lives of hundreds of senior dogs but also raised awareness about the plight of older animals in shelters. They have inspired others to adopt senior dogs and support their mission, creating a ripple effect of compassion and care.
