Story
Meet Moses! This cute little guy was surrendered to the rescue after his owners’ work schedule and lifestyle changed. Their loss will be someone else’s gain, and we are happy to help him find his true forever home. He’s still a young pup at only 2 years old and has his whole life ahead of him. Moses has been in his SC foster home for almost a month, living with a foster mom and her three Chihuahuas. He was understandably nervous after losing his home, but after an anxious first day/night, he warmed up, quickly adapted to his new pack, and now acts like he’s lived there his whole life…It was an easy transition. Over the past few weeks, we’ve learned that Moses is a playful pup who loves to go on walks. He’s housetrained, walks great on a leash, and is great with other dogs. Crate training is still a work in progress, but his foster mom has left him with free roam of the house for short periods, and he’s done great. He’s already earned bed privileges at night and is a great snuggler. We checked in with Moses’s foster mom, Carrie, for an update: “Moses is such a great dog! This little boy is so easy to fall in love with . Here’s some new things I’ve learned about him: He loves mini tennis balls! He’ll play fetch as long as you’ll let him. He has great food boundaries - doesn’t beg for my food and gives my pups space when they’re eating, doesn’t compete for treats He is great with door boundaries - will listen to a stay/wait command whenever I open the door and stay where he is He still hates the crate but can be trusted alone uncrated. He loves to be able to look out the window when you’re gone. He’s an amazing sleeper! He’ll lay in bed with you as long as you let him. He’s great with my dogs but still very human-oriented. He coexists well with my pack but doesn’t feel like he needs to be part of it. He’s done great with every dog we’ve met on leash, regardless of size. He will do well as an only dog or with others. Moses will be coming to the DC Metro area on 9/16. Apply today!
