Moe's Vibe: Your One-and-Only Couch King
Little body. Huge heart. Professional cuddler. Retired gentleman seeking his forever soft place to land.
Moe is an adorable senior Shih Tzu mix who recently lost his beloved person, and now he’s looking for a calm, cozy home where he can devote himself to his human all over again. He’s what we lovingly call a “one-person dog” — the kind who bonds deeply and says, “You. You are my whole world.”
• Expert couch companion
• Low-key, polite with affection (not a slobbery kisser — a true gentleman)
• Loves lounging in the grass, sunshine naps, and zooming in the yard
• Totally fine with grooming and baths
• Sleeps quietly in his crate near your bed like a little guardian loaf
(Would prefer to be in your bed)
Moe clearly prefers female energy and truly thrives when he has a woman to attach his sweet little soul to. A single woman or a calm couple (where he can pick his favorite 😉) would be perfect.
*Blindness – Moe has age-onset blindness (SARDS), and honestly? He’s handling it like a champ. He’s learning his surroundings and uses voices, foot taps, and clapping to navigate. He may bump into things now and then, but once he knows the layout, he moves with growing confidence.
What he needs most is:
• A stable, consistent home layout
• Patience while he memorizes his space
• A human who talks to him (he follows voices beautifully)
Blind dogs don’t feel sorry for themselves — Moe still loves the outdoors, rolling in grass, and enjoying the world in his own way.
Other Animals?
• Best as an only dog – other dogs tend to feel “in his way”
• A calm, independent cat? He’ll politely pretend they don’t exist. Mutual agreement. Very mature.
New Home: A quiet, cushy retirement home where he can have the run of the house, be someone’s shadow and heart dog and live a peaceful, predictable life full of couches, sunny naps and love.
