<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nA HAPPY ENDING for Mombo!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At eight months old, Mombo\u2019s life was on the line after a tragic incident. He was in the kitchen when he heard the front door open and a neighbor and child walked in unannounced. It was a awful chain of events that resulted in a bad bite.
Pressure from the community forced his novice chow parents to have him euthanized. His family was devastated including their two young children who made a video to show the world how loving their dog really was. Mombo\u2019s mom reached out to us as a last desperate attempt to save his life. Days before his appointment, we intervened\u2026and committed to taking him.
He arrived nervous and confused but not an attack dog. A little guarded and growly but by day two he was seeking attention. He wasn\u2019t going to be a good dog\u2026he\u2019s was a going to be a great dog! The kids were right. Mombo is a playful, affectionate, goofy boy who does not want to get into trouble. Finally an application came in, followed by several more. After sharing the details of his past and emphasizing how seriously he guards his home and family, we narrowed down the list. It was a tough choice between two wonderful applicants making it impossible to decide. Fortunately we didn\u2019t have to\u2026 Mombo chose his new family the minute he met them. He turned on his charm offering snuggles and kisses. He couldn\u2019t get enough of their attention and affection acting like a puppy in love. The feeling was mutual\u2026it was a perfect match.
