Isn’t passion always the one that changes our lives forever? Few things could make you quite so passionate as the love that we feel for our pets. Because of one family’s special connection to an unforgettable pup named Mr. Mo, the lives of senior pets all over would saved from living in shelters, or worse, being euthanized.
Sometimes, even the darkest tragedies can result in a beautiful outcome. The memory of Mr. Mo will live on forever in the mission.
How the Mr. Mo Project Got Started
A couple by the name of Chris and Mariesa started this foundation because they, like most with a passion in the field, fell in love with a dog. They got Mo as a senior, and he changed their lives forever.
The couple used to run a nonprofit organization called Rowdy to the Rescue. This organization pulled dogs from shelters to place them in foster homes, preventing euthanasia. That is how they met their buddy.
They started encountering health issues with their pup Moses, or Mr. Mo for short. As they entered the trenches of expensive veterinary care, they realized how many seniors are put down or surrendered because parents are simply unable to pay their bills.
Mr. Mo impacted their lives unbelievably. He was diagnosed with an inoperable spine tumor that would end up taking his life. That did not stop his owners from diligently fighting for him every step of the way.
To honor his memory, these two heroes set out to make life better for senior pets worldwide. Our seniors have lived long and faithful lives with us; the least we can do is give them the love and attention they deserve in their final days.
Not having the funds to do so can seriously impact a person emotionally. Their aim was to prevent pet parents from having to go through this and dogs having to suffer as a consequence.
Mr. Mo Is a Nonprofit Organization
A nonprofit is defined as an organization that serves a social or local charitable purpose without the aim of profiting. Mr. Mo falls into this category. The founders simply wanted to make a better way for seniors to enjoy the last few years of their life without suffering.
So it certainly was not an organization aimed at raking in the cash. They simply want to put resources together to help dogs in need.
How Sponsorships Help
Sponsorships really help organizations like Mr. Moe stay in business. These organizations are so important for pets and people alike, really spreading awareness and saving lives. Sponsorships can help to get the word out there and provide necessary funding.

If you are someone who can help senior pets, it is a noble, honorable, and fulfilling cause.
