About Moonlight

Moonlight, or Mooney for short, is an enchanting Pointer pup ready to find his forever home. At just 20 weeks old, he weighs 28 lbs and has already been neutered. His speckled coat adds to his charm, and despite his occasional judging gaze, one cuddle will win his heart. Mooney adores his human companions and takes his cuddling duties very seriously. He does well with dogs following slow introductions and is also great with cats. While he’s good with older kids, he hasn’t been tested with younger ones. This clever boy is learning the ropes, knowing "sit" and "down" while working on his potty training, crate comfort, and leash skills. He would thrive with a fenced yard to explore and a confident dog buddy to help him adjust. Some of his favorite pastimes include collecting toys and unstuffing stuffies. While car rides feel daunting for him at first, he settles down nicely once inside. Are you ready for some moonlit adventures and snuggles with this delightful little pup? Mooney can't wait to meet you! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
