Story
Meet Moche! Moche is being fostered here at the rescue in Athens, east TN. Out of state welcome however you would need to come here to meet him. He is not eligible for transport only because he is very shy of new people. His story is quite sad actually. He was adopted from us back in 2020, born at the beginning of December 2019 or the end of November 2019. He was adopted and we did everything right with the adoption process and it was a great home with a woman who loved him dearly. Covid came and his owner’s world sort of changed and he was never given the chance to meet new people or other dogs or even go anywhere. He stayed home with his one human and his best friend (a kitty), He snuggled with this kitty and they were besties. His owner contacted us a couple of weeks ago and said she had to return him and not because she wanted to but because it was the best thing for him. She had been overcome with mental health issues, there was a death in her family and she was facing eviction, She could not take care of him anymore because she couldn’t take care of herself. His first few days here were hard on him he was so scared of us and the other dogs and this new scary place. Keep in mind we are not your typical home we have anywhere from 25-50 dogs at a time (we board and board and train for clients as well as foster our rescues (with that being said it was scary for him because we have a very active and excited household here). It took a few days and he warmed up to us, he is now part of the pack and he loves the other dogs. He hasn’t figured out how to play like a dog but he’s working on it. He does have some sight issues and it appears to be some mild cataracts, that does not stop him from learning his way around and enjoying life. He will be getting vetted prior to adoption and we will get his eyes checked to verify his slight sight issues. Now that he trusts us he is a snuggle bug and begs for attention using his paw to tap for attention and loves to give you his tummy for tummy rubs. We feel confident that if you allow him a little time he will be the same with you. It’s not his fault at all for the lack of socialization he never got. He does have a bit of separation anxiety, only if he can hear you in another room and he can’t get to you. If you leave the home he does just fine. He hates the crate but he doesn’t have to be crated, he is fully potty trained and he doesn’t get into anything. He will settle down to sleep in a crate after he lets you know he ain’t happy with it lol. He sleeps all night-we allow him to free range the house at night and he has done amazing. He is learning how to play with toys via flirt pole and he loves it. He was fearful for his life in those first few days. Six years with one person and a best friend kitty. He had no clue what the world has to offer and that it could be so much fun. What he needs is time and patience and a loving owner who will help him with his new life and learn to love what the world has to offer. He is amazing with cats and dogs so if you have other pets that would just be a bonus for him. Older Kids would be fine if they can understand that he will take a little time to get to know them before he accepts pets and love. His home would need to be patient and give him a few days to trust and must also be willing to help him learn what the world is about by taking him places, having visitors (they don’t need to pet him he just needs to know their presence is not a threat). He is not aggressive at all he will just avoid them. If they ignore him and allow him to meet them on his terms he will eventually be fine with them. This all will change as he gets more adapted to his new life. He has come so far already with us. He just needs more one on one time with his new family. We are a great waystation for him to learn that the world has more to offer but we cannot offer him what a real home can. He really is a precious soul who was dealt a really bad hand in the card game of life. He needs someone to love him and show him the world is not to be feared but to be enjoyed. He will be current on vaccines, he is chipped, he will be heartworm tested and we feel pretty confident it will be negative. He will potty outside and understands when you tell him to go potty. He is so well mannered on a leash. Please consider this precious boy and give him a chance. We also train dogs and he will come with all the training advice and free sessions (here with us in Athens or online virtually) that you could ever need for him. His adoption fee is waived to the right home. Apply at Petpath.org
