Morita's Rescue Story

Morita was rescued along with her little sister near Cerro del Tesoro in Mexico. They were only about two months old when they were found abandoned during a heavy rainstorm. The tiny sisters were completely defenseless and so terrified that they wouldn't even move.

The rescuer's dog led her to the puppies while they were out on a walk. They were soaking wet, frightened, and alone. It was unclear iif they had fallen into the small pit where they were found or if someone had left them there, but it was clear they would not survive in that place, especially with the rain pouring down. There was a real risk they could drown or die from exposure, so the king person who found them, brought them to safety.

Because of the trauma they had likely experienced—and possibly the mistreatment their mother may have suffered—Morita grew up very fearful and unable to trust people. It took a long time, patience, and dedication to help her heal physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Thanks to the incredible support of the Casa de Lugo Sanctuary in Colima City, the guidance of a professional trainer, and the teamwork and commitment of the rescuers at Misiones Caninas, Morita slowly began to blossom. With love, consistency, and care, she transformed into the smart, calm, sweet, and happy girl she is today.

Morita's journey is a beautiful example of how compassion and teamwork can truly change a life. Now she is ready for the final chapter of her story: finding the loving forever home she has waited so patiently for.

Morita is waiting in Mexico until a family is committed to taking her on a 10-day trial. If you are interested, apply at www.northwestwagrescue.org her adoption fee is $600
