About Moose

Meet Moose, a distinguished older gentleman seeking a serene retirement home. He thrives in a calm environment and would do best with children aged 10 and older who understand the importance of respecting his space. Moose has lived harmoniously with a mature, larger dog, though he prefers the company of relaxed canine companions. New dogs can make him anxious, so a gradual introduction is key. He has also coexisted with cats, enjoying a playful chase now and then, but he knows when to back off when they stand still. Moose's ideal home would be one that appreciates his peaceful nature and understands his need for slow introductions. Ready to make Moose a part of your family?
