Description:

**Meet Momo: Your Resilient and Playful Sidekick!**
*Female | Shar Pei/Pit Mix | 9 Months | 49 lbs*

Momoโ€™s story is one of strength and resilience. When we found her at the shelter, she was facing euthanasiaโ€”suffering from painful entropion in both eyes, severely underweight, and missing much of her fur. Despite it all, Momo greeted us with a gentle, hopeful spirit, and we knew we couldnโ€™t leave her behind.

Since then, Momo has blossomed. After successful eye surgery, her bright, expressive eyes now light up with joy, and her coat is growing back beautifully. Every day, her playful, affectionate nature shines through, reminding us just how resilient and loving she truly is.

One of Momoโ€™s most endearing qualities is how quickly she forms bonds. Sheโ€™s the kind of dog who makes friends wherever she goesโ€”whether itโ€™s the vet staff after just a day or the trainers after a single session, Momo has a way of weaving herself into peopleโ€™s hearts. Her affectionate, people-oriented nature means that she embraces new experiences and places with an open heart, always eager to connect and be part of the moment.

Momo is an affectionate and loyal companion who bonds deeply with her person. She loves being close, always wanting to be part of whatever youโ€™re doing. While she craves connection, she also benefits from a balance of love and structure. In her foster home, consistent routines and gentle guidance have helped her feel secure and more independent, allowing her to confidently explore new environments.

Sheโ€™s incredibly smart and eager to please, making her a quick learner. Momo already knows how to โ€œsitโ€ (often before you even ask!) and will happily go into her crate with just a point. Sheโ€™s house-trained and steadily improving her manners, including her tendency to jump when sheโ€™s excited.

Playful and social, Momo enjoys interacting with other dogs of all sizes. Her play style is flexibleโ€”sometimes sheโ€™s the leader, other times sheโ€™s more submissive. Regardless, she would thrive with a dog buddy who shares her love of play. Momoโ€™s lively energy is balanced by her desire to connect, and sheโ€™s learning to manage her enthusiasm while also growing more confident and independent.

Her ideal home would be a single-family house with a yard where she can play and explore. An active person or family who can provide love, structure, and consistent training would be perfect for her. Since Momo can be a bit too enthusiastic when giving kisses or greeting people, we recommend a home without young children (teenagers or adults only).

Momo has a heart full of love and potentialโ€”she just needs a family who will help her continue to mature into the dog sheโ€™s meant to be. If youโ€™re looking for a resilient, playful companion who will brighten your days, Momo is ready to meet you!
