About Moose

Meet Moose, a charming 8-month-old Border Collie and Shepherd mix weighing in at 30.2 lbs. He was rescued as part of a litter of stray puppies facing a tough fate at a small shelter in Texas. Thankfully, 4 Little Paws Rescue stepped in to bring him to safety and prepare him for a loving home. Moose is a shy but affectionate little guy, and after a few days in a safe environment, he really starts to shine. His foster family describes him as a sweetheart who loves squeaky toys and enjoys lick mats filled with peanut butter or pumpkin. He is playful yet gentle, especially with smaller dogs and puppies, making him a great companion for any furry friend. This smart boy is doing well with housebreaking and rarely has accidents, responding well when taken outside. He appreciates pets and sweet words, and his favorite spot is sprawling out the floor close to you. Moose is ready to steal your heart; inquire about him today!
