About Moose

Personality: Affectionate, Friendly, Playful, Couch Potato

Moose, our senior 18 pound chihuahua mix, is very happy it's fall. To be fair, he was happy when it was late summer too. He was happy that time it rained and he's happy to see the sun. You see, being happy is kind-of Moose's thing. We can't wait to see how thrilled he'll be to meet his new family.

Found stray, Moose (like a lot of little dogs) had terrible dental disease. We took him in to address that so that his breath is as pleasant as he is. Although he lost quite a few molars, he's recovered well and is back to tap-dancing for his treats. Moose also had untreated fleas and his skin had suffered because of it. With antibiotics, his hair grew back beautifully.

Described as "the easiest foster dog I have ever had", Moose is great in the house. He's quiet, tolerates/ignores cats, and loves other dogs. Moose is responsible enough to be left alone and is potty trained. However, he does need to go every few hours (he's an older gentleman after all). Moose doesn't pull on his leash and is excited to take walks.

The shelter guessed Moose to be about 15 years old. He's not telling us, but Moose could be younger. He is very playful still and trots around after toys. Moose loves attention and is happy to curl up next to his person on the couch.

Moose is heartworm negative and current on his flea and heartworm preventatives. Due to his sensitivity to fleas, Moose should be kept on year round preventatives.

What's a better autumn goal than giving a great dog a great retirement home. Is that home yours?
