being stray

November is #AdoptASeniorPetMonth and we would like to introduce you to a very special gentleman... Moe, a ten-year-old Maltese (#PM8831) who's looking for his hero. ❤️ Moe has spent his entire life in a commercial breeding facility, where even his most basic needs were neglected. Instead of knowing the warmth of a loving home, gentle hands, and the comfort of being someone’s family, Moe has only known a life of hardship. Now, at 10 years old and under 10 pounds, Moe is facing more challenges than any dog should have to endure. Years without proper medical care have left him with several serious medical conditions, including cataracts, a collapsing trachea, a heart murmur and he has unfortunately tested positive for heartworm disease. We know this is a lot to take on, but we also know Moe is worth every bit of love and care he needs. ❤️ Despite everything he has been through, Moe still has so much love to give. He enjoys being gently petted and is slowly learning that human hands can bring comfort instead of fear. He needs a patient, experienced adopter who understands that trust takes time and will allow him to feel safe at his own pace. Moe would do well with a confident canine companion in the home to show him the ropes, but it is not a requirement for adoption.  To help support Moe’s ongoing care, the costs associated with managing his collapsing trachea and heart murmur will be covered, provided he receives his veterinary care through our Pet Health Centers. Moe has spent 10 years waiting for a life he never knew existed. A soft bed, a gentle touch, a family to call his own. Things that so many dogs take for granted would mean the world to him. If you can be the hero Moe has been waiting for, please contact our Port Washington, NY Adoption Center to learn more about giving this deserving senior the home he has always deserved. #GetYourRescueOn #AdoptMoe
