MEET MOOSE #3!!

Moose is a bombastic lover boy who wants to either be sitting all 79 lbs of himself on your lap or running at the dog park. He loves attention, fetch, and playing with his toys. Moose knows basic commands such as sit, down, shake, "look at me", come, leave it, spin, stay, and place. He follows his commands well at home but needs work in high distraction environments, especially his recall. He also needs some work with leash training. He does well most of the time but walks often turn into tug-of-war with the leash. With lots of treats and consistency, he can be the best boy on walks!

In the past, Moose has struggled with letting men approach him while on walks. However, with lots of socialization he has improved wonderfully. He has no issues with people while going to Home Depot or the dog park. In the home, however, Moose can be quite territorial (barking and growling at guest when entering the home). It's best to introduce him to guests outside the home while they take a seat or have him in another room while guests find a seat and are ready to meet him. This will guarantee that Moose will melt in their lap. He is crate trained and potty trained, but he will not signal he needs to go outside. He can also get excited when someone comes home and may let out a "sprinkle." Until he outgrows this behavior, you will want to quickly take him outside as soon as you get home. This way he can get out his happy wiggles. Moose is still a young boy with a lot of energy but a heart of gold. Meet Moose today!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All potential adopters will be required to complete our Adoption Application, read and sign our Adopting Policies and Procedures, and participate in a home visit by one of our adoption representatives. Our Adoption Application is located on our website: www.underdogaz.com.

We also have a mandatory two-week Foster With Intent to Adopt trial period for all animals in order to be certain the pet is a good fit for your family.

Our standard adoption fee for dogs is $200; puppies are $250.

Non-standard fees do sometimes apply. Puppies younger than six months may have a higher fee. Designer dogs, purebreds, and other toy type breeds may also have higher adoption fees than the standard $200.

We do, however, have discounted fees for dogs that are seniors, a pair of dogs adopted together, or cats. If you are a veteran or an active duty service member, please ask about our partnership with Pets For Patriots.

All Underdog pets are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped prior to adoption.

We are a 501c3 non profit, your donations save lives and are 100% tax deductible.

Go meet their pets

We attend multiple adoption events throughout the valley during Spring and Fall.
If you are interested in a specific pet, please complete our adoption application found on our website and we can then coordinate a meet and greet.
