About Moscow

Moscow is a neutered male sable and white Sheltie, around 7 years old and weighing 42 lbs. Unfortunately, his previous owner could no longer care for him, and now he's in our rescue. Moscow is up to date on all his vet care and is crate trained as well as housetrained, making him a great addition to your home. He has a long coat that adds to his charm, and while he may be a bit shy initially, he's a sweet boy with a gentle demeanor. He gets along well with most dogs but hasn't been assessed with cats or children yet. A securely fenced yard is essential for his safety in a new home. If you're interested in making Moscow part of your family, please fill out an adoption application. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
