I’ve been working with this very handsome boy for almost the whole time he’s been at the rescue and he’s definitely a very special man!! Even though he is still wary of human hands, he’s made a really good amount of progress and his confidence is definitely a lot higher than it was when he first arrived. Food has played a big part in this as he really loves his yummy treats, so I’ve been slowly winning him over and gaining his trust by hand feeding him different things. He still hasn’t yet learnt how to take food gently though, so I do have to be careful with my fingers!!!! It’s not his fault though, it’s still just new to him. Bless him.
At the rescue Moto is the perfect resident. He’s good with all dogs, he shares everything including his food, he’s as clean as he can be, and I hardly ever hear a peep out of him. When he’s in his kennel, he’ll often be cuddled up in one of the beds, or chewing on a toy. He loves the really hard ones like Nylabones so he has them in his kennel nearly every day!
Moto will definitely still need a resident dog in his new home as I think he may be a little overwhelmed with everything at first. Having a doggy friend to follow around and copy will help him massively with things such as house training and eventually learning how to walk on a lead. His new owners will need to be patient with him and understand that he’ll have lots of worries and fears, but they’ll work with him through them all and teach him that the world isn’t as scary as he thinks it is. In the right home, I really do believe this boy will shine and become the most wonderful companion. He just needs to be given a chance.

Moto is a gentle boy who has come to us from a breeder and is learning to trust humans. Coming from a breeding background, he can understandably be shy and reserved when people are nearby, but when he thinks no one is watching, his playful and fun loving side truly shines! Moto enjoys the company of other dogs and more importantly - loves spending his time with his furry friends in the play yard! To help him build confidence and come out of his shell, Moto will need a kind and patient resident dog to show him the ropes and provide reassurance. He is looking for a home that understands his needs and will give him the time and encouragement he deserves. As Moto adjusts to home life, he will need to learn about house training and how to walk on a lead, but with the right guidance, he has so much potential to blossom. If you have a gentle, understanding home and a friendly dog who could be his companion, Moto could be the perfect addition to your family! Moto had 1 tooth extracted at the time of his neuter.
