About Moby

Moby had a rough start, spending months on the street before being rescued with no owner coming forward. After receiving full vet care—vaccinations, deworming, flea treatment, neutering, and microchipping—he’s now safe, healthy, and on monthly heartworm prevention. Moby is sweet but cautious, needing time and patience to trust new people and adjust to new situations. He’s been let down before, so he needs a mature home that will let him acclimate at his own speed. Once settled, Moby becomes a loving, snuggly 'velcro' dog who enjoys play with those he trusts. He’s good on walks and gets along with 1-2 other dogs but can get overwhelmed in group settings or if play gets rough. Dog parks and daycare aren’t for him, and he wears a muzzle at vet visits to keep everyone safe. Moby is crate-trained and finds comfort there. He does not get along with small children, so a calm, adult household fits him best. Moby will flourish with someone who can give him stability and understanding. Start your journey together!
