About Moose

Meet Moose, a soulful-eyed mix of American Foxhound and Coonhound. Moose has long legs that make him a natural for hiking adventures, and ears that always catch the faintest sounds outdoors. He’s the kind of dog who lifts his nose and takes in every scent on the breeze, happy to follow wherever the trail leads. The moment he gets back home, though, Moose leaves the field explorer behind and becomes a champion couch cuddler, always eager for a belly rub or a calm nap by your side. Moose gets along well with other dogs and is friendly with children, making him a strong fit for an active family looking for both an outdoor companion and a reliable, gentle housemate. He’s house trained, neutered, and up to date on vaccinations. Born October 5th, that makes him a Libra—no surprise he has such a sweet and balanced spirit. Give Moose a chance and you’ll find a loyal, goofy, and affectionate friend, ready for your next adventure or just a lazy afternoon at home. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
