My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

#A5751958 Mort is a 2-year-old male Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, possibly hound mix, with a brown and black coat, big floppy ears, and the sweetest, soulful face. Found as a stray on January 25, 2026, alongside Palmer A5751957 , Mort weighs 93 lbs but is very underweight for his breed and will need time, good nutrition, and care to reach a healthy weight.

 

 

Mort is a big boy with even bigger paws and a gentle presence. Though the shelter has been overwhelming, his soft expression and calm demeanor suggest a kind, affectionate dog underneath it all. He’ll need patience as he settles in and regains strength. Mort is adoptable on a $50 trust waiver so his new family can continue his care and help him fully recover. With stability and love, this gentle giant has all the makings of a loyal, devoted companion.

More about this rescue

United Hope for Animals is a 501c3 non-profit organization committed to creating a world where our relationship with animals is guided by compassion and responsibility. We actively work toward bringing an end to the needless suffering of companion animals through community-based programs here at home and across the border.

The United States euthanizes more than one million dogs and cats each year. Through our Shelter Support Program, we work in partnership with local shelters to reduce this number by raising public awareness about shelter adoption and facilitating rescue and adoption of sheltered animals. In the process, we bring dignity and hope to the many lives that would otherwise pass anonymously through the animal control system.
