Personality | Moose is an adorable, playful little pup who loves all people, other dogs and stuffed toys.He has been settling right into his foster home and loves his foster sister laborador and his foster sister kitty. Moose has a very active brain and nose and would do best in a house where he has lots of opportunities to be active and and get out his playful and curious energy. He is very smart and highly food motivated, which makes training easy. He already has learned several commands at his foster house including sit, stay, shake, and bed. He picks up on new tricks fast! He would love a home where he can continue to engage his active brain. Moose also knows when to hit the snooze button and has been taking big naps with his foster family on the sofa and in his new bed. He likes having a soft, warm spot to curl up. He would make a great companion dog and is very loyal and sweet. He is eager to please and learn and would make a great partner on your outdoor adventures! He has a very sweet temperament and is very cuddly! He loves car rides and usually once in his puppy seat will fall right to sleep!

Cats | Moose is new to cats but warming up to them quickly! He is very curious and is learning boundaries with how to be a good cat brother.
