MRS. MOOSE - SHEPHERD / HOUND / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Shepherd / Hound / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 300. *This animal is a part of our “Seniors for Seniors” program where we offer senior adopters an opportunity to adopt an eligible pet at a discounted fee.* Meet Mrs. Moose – Your Future Shadow and Snuggle Buddy! Mrs. Moose is a sweet and soulful girl who’s looking for a quiet home where she can be your one and only. She prefers to have her people all to herself and isn’t a fan of sharing them with other pets—she’s just that devoted! At first, Moose can be a little cautious, but if you let her come to you on her own terms, you’ll be rewarded with the most loyal companion. Once you’re in her circle, she leans right into you (literally!) and loves to stay close. While she has an independent streak, what she really wants is to be near her favorite humans. Moose isn’t interested in toys just yet, but she does love a good chew and delights in zooming in happy circles, pausing only to grin at you with pure joy. Funny sounds make her light up—she’ll wag her tail like crazy and smile with her whole face! Her absolute favorite things? Belly rubs, mealtime, and you. Moose thrives on routine and feels most secure when she knows when dinner is served and when it’s time to go outside. She doesn't like being left alone (she might pout when you leave for work), but she's a perfect angel while you're gone—no mischief, no mess. This girl has a soft side, too. She was incredibly gentle with her foster’s 3-year-old nephew and quickly warmed up to visiting friends and family. Moose prefers slow introductions, but once she’s decided someone is safe, she’s all love. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion with the sweetest smile and the biggest heart, Mrs. Moose might just be your perfect match. Adopting a senior dog is like getting a vintage car – it comes with character, a few extra quirks, and might need a bit more maintenance. Expect occasional tune ups at the vet for oil changes (aka meds), and embrace the fact that those 'normal lumps and bumps' are just part of the well-earned charm package! Ruff Start will share all known health information with adopters and recommendations to keep your Senior dog in top shape. Mrs. Moose is from a local shelter. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.

If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
