About Mookie Needs A Special
Mookie is an almost six-year-old Newfiepoo (Newfoundland/Poodle mix) at 105 lbs, now living in Grass Valley, CA. He has a striking, regal look with some goofy flair, and his medium coat comes in a blend of white, cream, and black. Mookie enjoys daily walks, playtime with dogs, and being around happy, energetic people—teenagers are his favorite. He’s especially fond of treats like eggs and cheese, which match his strong food motivation. Mookie is house trained, leash trained, and responds eagerly to structure and consistency. He’s calm most of the time and knows basic commands but does have a bite history tied to resource guarding and fear aggression, so his new family must be experienced and confident with strong canine behavior skills. Mookie manages best with a routine and clear boundaries; a muzzle is part of his regular management. For everyone’s safety, he should be the only pet, and homes with small children are not recommended. He would thrive with an experienced dog trainer or someone ready to continue structured work. Mookie's original caretaker passed away, which is why he’s looking for a new, stable, and understanding home. He doesn’t get along with other dogs or cats, but he does like children if they’re older and respectful. Mookie is ready for a fresh start in a home that can give him the guidance he needs. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
