Please contact Kady Hammer (KadyH@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Handsome boy needs his fur-ever family! MOOSE NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Want to see more pictures and videos of Moose?! Follow his foster adventures on Instargram @luckydogsinloudoun Name: Moose Best Guess for Breed: Lab mix Best Guess for Age: 5 years SEX: male Approximate Weight: 57lbs Gets Along With: Other dogs! Moose has not been see with cats or kids but he can be tested! Currently Living at: DC area foster home Special adoption considerations: Moose is a truly Lucky Dog! He tested positive for Heartworm disease but has already been treated! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. We are happy to talk more in depth about heartworm disease and treatment during the adoption counseling process. Moose is Looking For: His forever family! Through no fault at all of his own, he needs a new home. Moose is out of the puppy yips and in his prime as an adult dog, eager for long sniffy walks and world exploration - and to make pup and people pals along the way! Quality kibble and a cushy dog bed round out his wish list. So trips to the local creek or park would be great! Most of all, though, he wants to have his own humans - he's ready to offer kisses, adoring gazes, and loyal companionship. What do you say? Is Moose the one you can see trotting by your side? What My Foster Says About Me: Moose just got here, but he is a total doll! He is sweet and friendly and loves to hang out with you. He did stupendously on our car ride home, watching out the window for a bit and then napping quietly until we made it to our destination. He has tall legs, big feet like he's wearing white boots, and big, soft, floppy ears. His coat is also very soft...if you didn't know he was 5 years old, you could mistake him for a giant puppy. He also has such a happy smile that he loves to display when he leans up against you for butt scratches. He also likes to sweetly lay his head in your lap or on your knee while you're sitting on the couch. He has feigned a little interest in squeaky toys but definitely enjoyed his long-chewy treat. He has met a cat and is interested to know the her, but mostly ignores her. I think he just wants to see what she is and move on, but I definitely think he would be fine living with one. And while I don't have kids, his overall gentle nature seems like he could fit into any family. He knows how to sit and takes treats gently. He also has done well on the leash so far and has started sitting at the door when we he would like to go outside. Moose has been a sweet houseguest and is a wonderful dog! Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
