About Mordecai

Meet Mordecai, a brave Lab Mix who weighs 64 pounds. He celebrates his estimated birthday on July 24, 2020. Mordecai’s story begins on a chilling note; he and his brother were on the euthanasia list in Texas, two scared boys facing an uncertain future. Luckily, they were saved, and now, Mordecai is discovering life anew. He’s still learning that the world can be a safe place, so he might not rush to warm up to you right away. Gaining his trust requires patience, gentle encouragement, and a serene environment where he can feel secure. Currently in foster care, Mordecai is showing remarkable progress. His fears are fading as he begins forming friendships with other dogs and even cuddles up with his foster mom. He needs a calm and loving forever home that understands the significance of every small victory with a timid dog. With time, he’ll reveal his affectionate side, from a gentle tail wag to the warmth of choosing to lie beside you. Fully vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered, Mordecai is kennel and potty trained. He gets along well with other dogs. Ready to be part of Mordecai's journey? He’s waiting for a nurturing family to offer him a lifelong home. Click apply to start the adoption process.
