Tell us about the transition period when Momo first came home. What were those first days and weeks like?

When Momo first joined our family, she was shy and a little reserved, taking her time to get comfortable in a new environment. But after just a few days, her personality began to shine through! She quickly became affectionate and playful, greeting us each morning with a wagging tail, wet nose, and carrying a sock proudly in her mouth.

What has been the biggest joy of adopting Momo? Any special moments or little quirks you love?

Momo has brought so much laughter and joy into our home. When she's excited, she spins in happy little circles, especially when she gets a new toy! She also has the funniest habit of sleeping on her back with all four legs in the air, like she doesn't have a care in the world. One moment she's rambunctious and full of energy, and the next she's snuggled up on the couch watching TV with us.

How was your experience adopting internationally through Never Alone?

The process of adopting through Never Alone was so seamless and reassuring. The photos and videos from Momo's foster family really let us see her personality before she arrived, and the detailed descriptions of her routine and temperament helped us prepare our home. We were told that she could be cautious around children and strangers, so we even connected with a trainer ahead of time. Additionally, Never Alone Rescue made sure we felt completely prepared to welcome Momo. They provided helpful information on essential supplies and followed up with us to check on her progress as she settled into her new home. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

What advice would you give to someone who's thinking about adopting an international rescue dog?

Be sure to be patient with your pup and let their personality blossom with time — every day you'll see more of their true personality emerge. It helps to find a trainer who specializes in working with rescue dogs, and taking things step by step makes the transition so much smoother.

How has your life changed since bringing Momo home?

Momo has been an absolute blessing. She's brought so much love, laughter, and companionship into our lives that we can't imagine our home without her.
