About Moses

Moses faced one of New York’s harshest winters before being rescued from a Greenpoint park. He was abandoned, alone, and suffering from raw, bleeding paws. When our founder, Jennifer, heard about him, she immediately went to his aid and rushed him to the hospital, where he finally found warmth and care. Moses is a gentle, sweet-natured dog, though he’s somewhat timid at first. He excels in the company of women, showing a preference for soft-spoken ladies. His shy demeanor hides a heart full of love just waiting to be shared. After everything he's endured, Moses is ready to embrace a new life filled with warmth and kindness. Could you be the one to give him that loving home? All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption. Please note, the listed location may not be completely accurate, but we have transportation options within six hours of NYC, so don’t let that hold you back! Ready to meet Moses?
