She is crate-trained and comfortably relaxes in her crate for several hours. Is walked on a leash daily and has basic manners, though she would benefit from continied leash training as she can be enthusiastic on walks.She has a gentle, easy-going temperament and is very tolerant of handling.

Story

Meet Mojo (Mo)A handsome 6 year old Anatolian Shepherd Mix who loves life. We adopted Mo from Hope Animal Rescue when he was about 12 weeks. A litter-mate was DNA tested so that was when we learned about his breed. Mojo is super quirky, loves going for walks and just being in the same room as his people. One of his best features is that he actually smiles when you come home. He will snuggle on the couch as long as you allow it. The perfect home for Mojo would likely be as an only male dog or with another dog that will allow him to be alpha, because his only issue is he resource guards from his fur-brother. While he has done great with our toddler, we still think he might do better with older children in the home or with an experienced person that is willing to train more against the resource guarding.We just want the best home for Mo, so we plan to donate his adoption fee to a local rescue once he is placed in his forever home.
