About Moose

Moose is my best friend. He is an incredibly sweet, quirky, loving, funny, intelligent, + devoted dog. He has lived and traveled across the US. He's lived on farms, in rural neighborhoods, Air Force bases, cities. He is nearly 7 and has spent his whole life with me. He responds to moose as well as all of his nicknames: MooMoo, Moosalini, Moobert/ Moob, Mooseroni, Boobert/ Boob, Mooser. He loves when you sing songs about him, play with him, cuddle him, take him with you on adventures. He's an attached at the hip- small shadow kinda guy. If you're going he wants to go with! Half the time he's a lazy couch potato half the time he lives to play. He sits, lays down, and shakes. He used to follow 'stay' and 'kennel' commands but lost it over the years. He has HIGH anxiety, he experiences extreme separation anxiety. I've tried a few anxiety medications with my vet and none have proved effective - he simply hates to be alone/ by himself. He gets terrified and would much rather come along with you wherever you're going. He's good in the car, he likes his head out the window. I answered unknown to who he gets along with. He used to love and get along with everyone but, he was attacked a couple years ago by another dog (also an Aussie) - since then he's been incredibly reactive *barking mainly* to other dogs outside/ strangers/ even cats. He's had several best dog friends in the past. He is very vocal. He does whine- cries-barks when he's left alone or needs something urgently or is scared about something. He will also throw himself into the kennel walls until his face is bloody if he's put in the kennel for hours while you leave. He cannot go to a family who doesn't have at least one person who stays home at all times. That's vital to his rehoming. He loves kennels as a place to nap during the day with the door open but the kennel is not functionally usable as a place to keep him or he will freak out. He's lived with and loved on my two cats that he grew up with but doesn't have much cat experience outside of them (+ one other cat that was mean to him). He's weary with new animals so I'm not sure how he would react to other dogs or cats. It takes him a while to warm up. Same with people. His exposure range has mostly been young adults and elderly people. He has very minimal experience with young children. I think he would do best with an older adult who is always home and is looking for a life companion or a financially stable young adult who can dedicate lots of time to him. He needs a backyard, lots of attention, and not to be left alone. He would thrive in a household where he could be the center of attention. Hes an incredible good boy who has a huge heart and amazing personality. If someone can hold on to get through what I'm sure will be a sad and anxiety filled transition, he will eventually be the most amazing addition to your life. He responds to verbal cues well and is used to being consistently talked to + included. He's been heavily babied and does deserve that from anyone else who would become his family. He would come with a detailed history, his vet records, leashes/ collars, his favorite toys, shampoo/ dry shampoo + some treats. He is currently overweight due to not getting sufficient exercise and too many pup cups. I'd love to be able to stay in contact with new owners/ exchange social media/ have the potential open to visit in the future. The only reason I'm forced to rehome is my lifestyle is no longer conducive to his wellbeing. I used to work + went to school from home, now I work long 12+ hour shifts. It's not fair to him to be in that nervous state all the time. I also am living in an apartment for the first time and he's struggling with no yard access, constant noises and presents of others. I just think he doesn't feel safe here. It breaks my heart to not be able to provide him with the best life + to lose him, but, I know he needs better and it's not what I can financially provide him with right now. If you feel like you'd be a good fit or you're interested In talking more / meeting moose please reach out! I have a million more pictures of him that are cuter and it's hard to express all the highlights of his personality over text.
