Meet Momo

Meet Momo At 14 years young and just 10 pounds, Momo is the definition of a gentle old soul. This sweet Jack Russell Terrier mix came to us after her beloved owner passed away, and now she’s searching for someone special to love her through her golden years. Momo may be a senior, but she still lights up for her favorite ball and enjoys leisurely walks and car rides. Once she feels safe with you, she becomes the ultimate companion — happiest curled up beside you, soaking in affection and quietly keeping you company. She gets along with calm cats, does well around respectful older children, and prefers a peaceful home where she can relax and feel secure. At her recent vet visit, Momo was described as “bright, alert, and responsive,” with a good heart and healthy lungs. She’s spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and recently had dental work completed, including extractions. Like many senior dogs, Momo has a few age-related quirks. She has limited hearing, some vision changes that make nighttime harder unless lights are on, and dermatitis on her belly. She also takes Gabapentin twice a day. But none of that changes what matters most: Momo still has so much love left to give. What she needs now is simple — a kindhearted person who understands the beauty of caring for an older dog. In return, Momo will love you with her whole heart. If you think you could give this sweet girl the comfort, patience, and love she deserves, please visit the Alternative Humane Society website and fill out a statement of interest.
