Their dedication has resulted in adopting 19 senior dogs simultaneously, and they are committed to covering their veterinary expenses, even if they find new homes.
Driven by their passion for animal welfare, Chris and Mariesa have rescued over 600 elderly and special needs dogs, providing them with a loving home environment.
They focus on aiding surrendered or abandoned dogs, ensuring a comfortable life under their care.
Establishing the Mr. Mo Project, a non-profit organization, the couple facilitates the rehoming of dogs and covers their medical expenses for life.
Inspired by the passing of Chris’ dog Moses, they decided to take action after realizing the high costs of caring for senior dogs.
Despite juggling full-time jobs, Chris and Mariesa continue their mission, accepting dogs with various medical needs and financial constraints.
Their efforts require significant financial investment, with last year’s veterinary expenses totaling $700,000.
The couple’s home is meticulously prepared to accommodate their furry companions, featuring spacious gardens, personalized kennels, and specialized medical equipment like hydrotherapy treadmills and laser treatment systems.
Each of their 19 dogs receives personalized care, including hand-feeding for those with dental issues and tailored diets for dogs with allergies.
Despite the challenges, Mariesa acknowledges the fulfillment of witnessing the dogs’ transformations and the joy of giving them a second chance at happiness.
While the journey can be emotionally taxing, with inevitable lows when they cannot save every dog, Chris and Mariesa remain committed to their life’s work of rescuing and caring for senior dogs.
