MOBY - ANATOLIAN SHEPHERD / POINTER / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Anatolian Shepherd / Pointer / Mixed (medium coat). All over western NY as the pandemic came to a slow, sorrowful, end area animal shelters found themselves overflowing with dogs, dogs, and more dogs, all sorts of dogs all abandoned or they had become inconvenient now that humans were getting back to a more "normal" life. Due to the drastic over population problem in our own western NY area Joyful Rescues has focused taking local dogs in need rather than bringing dogs from the south as was once socially helpful and a kindness to humans and pets who were in over populated areas. Sadly, now we have become one of those areas. Then I received the following message from a shelter we used to work with fairly consistently and as I viewed face after face I felt the need to help them just a little so Moby and Koby came to Joyful Rescues in Cuba NY from Kentucky on an all volunteer one hour at a time transport! Thank you, volunteers!!! " Union County Animal Control has several wonderful dogs in need of rescue! We are a very small shelter with eight runs and consistently have over capacity numbers. Any help is very much appreciated. Our spring has been loaded with natural disasters. Historic flooding, historic rainfall, F3 Tornado, have all deeply affected our small farming county. The already tough economy, and these natural disasters have increased the number of animals that we have coming into the shelter. To say we are swimming would be positive, at this point, we’re barely treading water. Any help is deeply appreciated." Now about Moby: Moby was born around January 18, 2025 and might top out in the 45-50 pound range when done filling out. He has gorgeous medium-length hair with adorable red and tan ticking. Moby rides fine in a car and is wonderful with other dogs. When he saw a kitten in his foster home he was afraid to walk past - oh my, scary. He learned the dog door quickly and is doing well with house training, but with another change you will want to keep watch for a while. He does love to play and run with the others so another dog in his forever home would be wonderful. He is not a big barker which we really love. Moby is a loving, happy, handsome boy that one lucky family is going to make their own and they will love him to pieces!
