Due to severe degenerative right femoral head changes requiring surgery (FHO vs THR) and extensive recovery with rehabilitation prior to adoption, rescue is the most appropriate option long term for Moses to seek treatment, recover, and find his adoptive home. Adding reminder to recheck comfort in AM.

Dog interaction: Hesitant to approach hd, flinchy when hd sniffed, continued on past and parallel walked with hd, didn't approach again, remained loose during walk
