Moto Moto is an adult male (possible) American Staffordshire Terrier mix who was brought to the HSOV on November 23, 2025 by a Good Samaritan who found him on County Road 17 in Washington County Ohio. Moto Moto was not wearing a collar, and he was not microchipped.
This handsome guy has a white-and-gray short smooth coat, a long tail, and such an adorable face with hopeful innocent eyes. Moto has a large gray patch on the right-hand side of his face while the left side is white. He has the cutest chubby muzzle with a blue/charcoal gray nose .. And semi-erect ears.
Moto Moto appears to have a friendly personality and craves attention from kennel techs/volunteers. He has a unique 'whine' (instead of a loud bark) when he sees anyone who might give him attention.
We quickly learned that Moto Moto does better wearing a harness when walking him since he tends to view a slip lead as a 'tug-of-war' toy when you try to put the leash over his head (nuff said?)
Moto Moto has some hair loss which is most likely to an allergy of sorts and is visible in his first photos. His fur is already beginning to look better these days thanks to the extra TLC which he has been given by our HSOV kennel techs.
Moto Moto hadn't stepped on the scales for a weigh-in yet when these photos were taken, but he likely weighs 50+ lbs.
In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Moto Moto was held for the mandatory three-day stray hold so that his family would have an opportunity to reclaim him .. But nobody called or came looking for him.
We look forward to taking more flattering updated photos of Moto Moto but hope that these 'before' pictures will be the first step to find him a great home.
