About Momo

Momo is a delightful 5-year-old who’s possibly a Beagle-Dachshund mix. After being adopted from Heartland three years ago, he returned to our shelter due to changes in his family's situation. Despite this setback, he's continued to charm everyone around him. This little guy has a unique physique—he’s built like a log with short legs, making his playful zoomies particularly entertaining. When he gets going, he often surprises us by launching into barrel rolls that resemble a log rolling down a hill. His antics never fail to amuse! Momo is incredibly social, greeting every newcomer like they’re his best friend. His tail wags furiously at the sight of anyone, and he has an affectionate personality that makes him a joy to be around. He has lived well with children and is both housebroken and crate trained, fitting comfortably into routines. He enjoys the company of other dogs but isn't keen on sharing food. With a speckled chest and a warm, friendly demeanor, Momo is the type of dog that brings joy wherever he goes. He’s easy to walk and always eager to join in on the fun. We’d love to see him find a home where he can continue to shine. Don't miss your chance to meet Momo—he's waiting for you to come and say hello!
