My story

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

Approximate Age: 1.5 years
Approximate Weight: 55 lbs

🎾🫎 Meet Moose 🫎🎾
• High-energy, playful dog who lives life at a 10
• Loves toys, fetch, and tug (will happily put the toy in your hand)
• Affectionate and goofy with a big personality
• Good potty manners and solid house manners
• Sleeps quietly through the night
• Good in the car and tolerates handling well
• Knows sit and settles with structure and guidance
• Needs an active home with clear rules and daily outlets
• Working on leash skills; can be reactive in familiar walking areas
• Can be mouthy when overstimulated and needs help learning calm affection. Firm training will help this.
● Dog Introductions: Prefers slow, thoughtful introductions to other dogs to ensure he feels comfortable.
● No Cats: He needs a home that is feline-free.

Moose is a true velcro pup with a huge heart who wants nothing more than to be stuck to his favorite people! He is an active boy who loves zooming around the yard and playing fetch, but he is just as happy snuggling up for cuddles or relaxing in his crate. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, fun-loving companion, Moose might be your perfect match!
