Hi everyone! I’m Mojo. Before you look at my papers and do the math, yes, I am almost eight years old. You’d never guess it, and I sure don’t feel or act it. My energy level seems to have skipped that memo entirely, and I am just fine with that. I was lost, and the dog police found me. Lucky for me, Homeward Bound said I was golden enough to come here.

Here’s what you need to know about me: I have a heart full of love and a personality that will keep you giggling all day. I’m a strong, affectionate, and active boy who thrives on the companionship of my people. I lean in for love, amuse with my antics, and will make it clear that all I want in life is to be your best buddy.

I’m full of fun and mischief…a bit of a kleptomaniac when it comes to toys. Yup, I am a toy guy. Capital T. Balls, squeakies, tug ropes…I am not picky, and I firmly believe that he who has the most toys wins. (I’m winning.) I will play with you, trade one toy for another, and then immediately want the first one back.

When it comes to other dogs, I’m a bit of a mixed bag. At the shelter, I was a bit over-excited to meet new dogs (but that place is nuts!). Here, I have been happier with calm, easygoing pals. So, call me dog selective. Mostly, I just need people -the kind who love to play as much as I do. Cats? They’re a mystery I haven’t solved yet. And as for kids, sturdy, older kids might do just fine, but the little ones could be overwhelmed by me, my boundless energy, and my little too eager way of taking treats! I’m a lot of dog! Let the games begin!

I don’t have much in my training playbook, but the good people here at Homeward Bound have signed me up for all the training I can get, and I am ready to learn. I just need the right people to show me the ropes (and throw them too, because tug is my love language). I’m looking for sturdy people who are excited to exercise with me, work on my skills, and reward me with good, long play sessions. In return, I offer my local heart. If that sounds like a match, I think we’d make one heck of a team. What do you say?
