Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi, world! My name is Moomin, I'm 4 years old and I can't wait to meet you. What's a Moomin, you ask? Well, it's a cartoon character that looks a little like a white hippo and lives in Moominvalley. I'm glad I have Moominvalley to think of when I sleep, because I don't have a forever home right now, and that makes me sad. My last family loved me so much and I loved them back. I was really sad when they had to let me go, but the 'landlord' says I am too big. I don't understand because I'm pretty petite at about 55 lbs, but I guess it mattered a lot to him. I would really love to be in a forever home like all the other dogs with a family that I can love forever and ever and ever.
My foster mom says I am the bestest dog in the world. I'm SUPER smart and know a lot of things already (sit, down, stay, wait, paw, high five, inside, outside, go potty)... but the most important thing I know how to do is play fetch! Wait until you see me catch a frisbee! I absolutely love to run after a toy and bring it back to you so we can play again! I would like to be with a family that is active. I would play all day if I was allowed, but I also understand when playtime is over and am really good at respecting my foster mom when she says playtime is 'all done.' I think I could be a really fun running buddy and I know I would be a really amazing agility dog. Agility course work would be a really good way for me to exercise my brain and get my energy out.
I am a very respectful girl and I have not had a single accident in my foster mom's house. I don't steal things and I am not a counter surfer. I am crate trained in case I ever need to go in a crate, but I can stay out of my crate for hours at a time, unattended in the house. I am very well behaved and don't touch anything that doesn't belong to me. I only jump a little when I'm excited but I don't throw my body weight into the human- instead, I just give soft paw taps and ask for belly rubs. I do pull on leash when I'm excited, so I have been walking in a prong collar while I learn about leash pressure and that seems to be going really well. I need some time to get the hang of things, but my foster mom thinks I'll know the rules in no time.
In order to meet my basic daily needs, it's important that I go to a family who is able to give me exercise and mental stimulation every day. I should get a minimum of 1-2 solid hours of exercise daily. This exercise can be broken up into walks and play time inside and outside, but it should start first thing in the morning. I would also love to have mini training sessions (a few minutes each) every day, because it makes me feel really happy and confident to use my smart brain. I will do basically anything you want if it means I get rewarded with a ball or toy, so it isn't hard at all!
I know people don't always pick black dogs but I swear I'm a super cute girl! I am so shiny and soft and I don't shed half as much as my chocolate foster brother. I am really well behaved around other dogs and never react when I get barked at on walks. I think I would like to be your one and only. I do love playing with my foster brother, but at the end of the day I really just want to be with you. The most important thing to me is having a fun and loving family!
I just discovered I LOVE swimming! Add a frisbee or a ball and I am in heaven! You don't have to pool, but I would love if we could go to a lake or the beach. Anywhere with water! I don't chase birds or other animals on walks and I have met a cat and did just fine!
If you think I sound like a good match and can give me the active lifestyle I need, I would love to meet you!
