About Moby

Moby is a 10-month-old hound with plenty of confidence and brains to match. He weighs in at 48 lbs and has breezed through his shots and neuter. Quick to learn and always motivated by treats, Moby already sits, lays down, and will even show off his 'sit pretty.' His sense of adventure is big, and not much rattles this guy—his tail is almost always up and wagging. While he comes off strong and dominant, he's also sweet and affectionate. He's currently polishing his manners with people and other dogs, so no young kids for now until he finishes learning the ropes. He does get along with dogs of all sizes, but he hasn’t met any cats yet. Moby is crate trained and fully house trained, already working through his basic obedience and learning to wait at doors for permission to go in or out. With structure and the right outlet for his energy, he’ll make a fantastic family dog. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
