Mr. MO Project Senior Dog Rescue Inc.

Overview

The Mr. MO Project Senior Dog Rescue Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing senior dogs from shelters across the United States. Established to honor the life of a senior dog named Moses, the project aims to provide these dogs with loving homes and cover their medical expenses for the rest of their lives.

Mission

The mission of the Mr. MO Project is to rescue senior dogs from shelters and ensure they spend their remaining years in loving and supportive environments. The organization coordinates the transport of senior dogs nationwide, recruits foster families, and provides ongoing financial support to cover veterinary bills for the lifetime of each dog.

Background

The Mr. MO Project was founded by Chris and Mariesa Hughes, who were inspired to establish the organization after experiencing the challenges of caring for their own senior dog, Moses. Moses, a senior pit bull, was surrendered to a shelter due to his age and faced significant medical challenges. The Hughes' experience highlighted the need for financial support to care for older dogs, as many are abandoned due to the costs associated with their care.

Activities and Partnerships

The organization partners with various businesses and individuals to support its mission. For example, YuMOVE has contributed to the project by donating $20,000 and providing joint supplements for the dogs. Additionally, the Mr. MO Project benefits from a network of sponsors and volunteers who help ensure a smooth transition for dogs into foster homes and provide necessary resources such as food and veterinary care.

Operational Impact

As of recent updates, the Mr. MO Project has over 100 dogs in foster homes and spends approximately $35,000 each month on veterinary care. By covering medical costs, the organization makes it possible for families who might not otherwise be able to afford the expenses of caring for a senior dog to provide a loving home.
