Rescue Background Story

Mo was born at the sanctuary and raised alongside his parents Harris Tweed and Skye. Growing up in the sanctuary allowed him to receive attentive care and socialization from both his family and caretakers.

He developed a distinctive head shape at birth, giving him the nickname “Mo.” Despite the unique appearance, it has never affected his health or behavior, and he remains energetic and playful.
