About Moses

Moses is a 2-year-old Black Labrador Retriever with a gentle spirit and a loyal heart. After spending over half a year waiting in the shelter, he’s never lost his love for people or his hope for a family of his own. Moses thrives on quiet companionship—he’s known for finding his way over to you and resting his head on your lap, perfectly content just to be close. He’s not interested in feline friends and needs a cat-free home to feel comfortable. Around other dogs, Moses can be picky about his company and would likely do best as the only pet, though he might adjust to a very calm canine sibling after a careful introduction. Moses is all about people, so he’s looking for someone who values a close bond and wants a devoted companion by their side. Born under the Libra sun, Moses brings balance and a peaceful presence wherever he goes. He’s spent far too many days behind shelter walls and deserves a soft place to land with someone who understands the magic of a simple head lean.
