About Moose

Goes with crate, collar and harness, toys, temp scan microchip. Hi I'm Moose! I'm ~3 years old and spent most of my life chained up on someone's front porch. This has lead to my anxiety around new things. I need someone who is patient, can read my body language, and respects my boundaries. I am a sweet, goofy, couch potato who loves to take naps outside. I know basic commands (sit, down, stay), am house broken, and crate and muzzle trained. I am good for baths, nail trims, and brushings. I would love a yard with a fence! We brought Moose home around 9 months ago off the euthanasia list at an over crowded shelter. At first, his biggest obstacle was his anxiety but since he has been with us, we have been able to make significant progress with exposure training (except for bicycles) so though he is still anxious - if you go slow with him he will come around. He is an amazing dog who continues to open up every day and does well on a leash/long lead and in the house. We are seeking to rehome him because he cannot overcome his prey drive towards our cats. We muzzle and crate trained him for this reason, but despite this we have made no progress and it is not safe for the cats. We love him dearly, but believe he would thrive in a home without any small animals where we could roam free and at ease. He deserves it! Happy to do meet and greets with new dogs! He has shown no signs of being dog reactive.
