About this Dog
Maurice—better known as Mo—is a laid-back, easygoing guy who’s up for just about anything. He came in as a stray. He’s the kind of dog who’s happy to trot alongside you, chill in the yard, or quietly hang out in the house—as long as there’s not a trash can within reach. He does have a thing for trash, so some supervision indoors is wise. Mo is quiet, friendly, and great to handle—baths, vet visits, general care—he takes it all in stride. He is very food motivated and takes treats very gently (like in this video)! His favorite toys are any of the Kong type toys (as you can see in this video)! He hasn't been around children in his current foster home, but based on his personality, he’d likely be great with kids. He’s got a funny little walk that makes him even more endearing, and while he occasionally gets minor skin flare-ups, a short round of steroids clears them right up. He’s not really an apartment-type dog—he prefers having outdoor space to lounge and explore. He’d thrive in a home with a yard and a person or family who enjoys casual walks and having a relaxed, loyal companion by their side. When he was younger, he was capable of climbing a 4 foot fence, his foster has been focused on training in this area and he is making huge improvements. He doesn't seem interested in climbing fences these days but he should always be supervised outdoors. Mo doesn’t ask for much—just a little freedom, some sunshine, and someone to hang out with. Maurice, Mo to his friends, is from Texas. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.

Adopt Maurice and Receive Maurice's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Maurice's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Maurice's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Maurice, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Maurice's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Maurice was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Maurice’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Maurice’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Maurice’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
