My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Macho!

Macho was a stray who was never claimed sadly. He is working on gaining weight as he was a bit on the thin side when he arrived, we estimate him to weigh between 60-70 pounds.

DNA: Macho was DNA tested and we found that his top 5 Breeds are.....
28% American Pit Bull Terrier
28% German Shorthaired Pointer
18% American Staffordshire Terrier
11% Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler)
6% Boxer

This boy has the demeanor of the American Staffordshire Terrier he is SO laid back and just want's love and attention.

He does well with other dogs, we are not sure of cats as we do not have a way to test him and he does well with older kids, we have not had him around kids younger than 10 years old.

Macho is currently in the Puppies for Parole Training Program. This 12 week program will teach him basic good boy skills such as Sit, Stay, Down, Come, Leash Walking, Kennel and House Training He is scheduled to graduate the end of March with his Canine Good Citizen Certificate (CGC)

He is Fully Vetted including Neuter, Heartworm Tested (negative), Monthly Preventatives for Fleas/Ticks/HW, Fully Vaccinated including Rabies as well as Microchipped.

Meet and Greets while he is in training will need to be scheduled Monday - Friday between the hours of 9am and 3pm since they will take place at the facility. An approved adoption application is needed prior to scheduling meet and greets.

The Moberly Animal Shelter is both the Shelter and the Animal Control. The staff members help by picking up stray or lost animals within the City Limits of Moberly, We and also run, clean, and find loving, forever homes for dogs currently residing at the shelter.

We serve the City of Moberly. (City Limits Only) We offer services of adopting animals to the public, and saving stray dogs. When a dog is picked up as a stray it is put on a Stray Hold. This hold is to ensure that the dogs do not have rabies, parvo, or any other illness and it also gives the owners some time to find their dogs.

All dogs that come through the shelter both stray or relinquished are temperament tested as much as possible and then put up for adoption.

If you live in the city limits of Moberly, you will be required to have up to date Rabies vaccinations.
