Story
Meet Moose!
A devoted four-and-a-half-old Schnauzer mix from Atlanta, GA, whose heart is as big as his adventurous spirit. With his black, wiry coat dusted with hints of silver, he’s a striking fellow who turns heads wherever he goes. But it’s his incredible loyalty, gentle nature, and impeccable manners that truly make him unforgettable.
Moose is the kind of dog who makes you feel like you’ve won the canine jackpot! He’s well-trained, obedient, and has outstanding recall—so much so that he can confidently walk off-leash on trails and always comes back when called. Indoors, he’s equally well-mannered, patiently waiting for an invitation before hopping onto the couch for a cuddle. His intelligence and eagerness to please shine through in everything he does, whether it’s playing with his favorite squeaky toy, chasing after a rope, or happily trotting alongside his favorite person on a hike.
When it comes to other dogs, Moose is polite and friendly, though he can be a bit shy at first. The same goes for meeting new people—he might take a moment to warm up, but once he does, he’s all about affection and companionship. He’s also gentle with children but would do best in a home without young kids, as he does have epilepsy. While his seizures are infrequent (only four in the past two years), they require a calm and understanding environment. His future family should be aware that during a seizure, he needs space and time to recover without interference. Older children who can understand this and give him the quiet he needs would be fine, but a household with toddlers might not be the right fit.
Moose thrives in the great outdoors and would love a home with space to explore. He’s experienced both indoor and outdoor living and is happiest when he has a canine companion if spending time outside. Most of all, he needs a loving and committed family who will provide him with the care, patience, and adventure he loves. If you’re looking for a loyal hiking buddy and a gentle soul to share your life with, Moose might just be your perfect match!
