About Moose Mcdougal

Moose McDougal—sometimes Moose, sometimes Gary Moosie—is a Retriever/Beagle mix packed with quirky personality. At around two years old and about medium-sized, Moose is house and crate trained, walks nicely on a leash, and knows basic commands. He’s sharp-witted and food-motivated, so training tends to go smoothly—offer a treat and he’s on board. This goofy guy entertains himself by launching his own toys and can run for hours, always eager to sniff out something new. He’s enjoyed having another friendly dog for company but doesn’t require one; he enjoys solo time, too. Moose needs an adult-only household where things are quiet and calm—city chaos and constant strangers stress him out. He’ll bond deeply once he feels secure, but he’s shy at first with new people. A fenced yard is a must; he’s happiest sprinting and investigating every corner. Moose comes with one cheerful requirement: keep up his persona as Moose McDougal, investigative reporter, complete with the signature voice. Ready to give this unique dog the space and patience he needs to thrive? They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
