About Moose

Meet Moose, an energetic two-year-old male Retriever mix in search of a loving home. This sweet and playful pup was surrendered to find a family that can meet his needs. Moose flourishes with ample daily exercise and training, as he thrives on interaction. Being a bit nervous around new people, he tends to lower himself to the ground initially. However, with gentle encouragement, he quickly warms up and shows his affectionate side. Currently, we're working on leash training with Moose, and he's making great strides after just a few days. While he still has some puppy-like tendencies, including jumping and playfully nipping at the leash, he's eager to learn. He gets along with other dogs, but meet-and-greets are necessary to ensure compatibility. Moose has previously lived with children and is reported to be good with cats. If you're ready to support Moose on his journey to confidence, he’s waiting for you! Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
