After 900+ Days, Moose Is Still Waiting
For nearly three years Moose has been waiting for stability, love, and a place to truly call home.
Moose is a 9-year-old male American Staffordshire Terrier mix weighing 80 pounds. He is currently in a foster home but will return to the shelter in early April. His foster family, a busy household with two children (now 8 and 10), cares deeply for him. However, life has grown increasingly full, and they never anticipated fostering for nearly two years. They believe Moose deserves more time and attention than they can now provide.
Staff and volunteers are urgently hoping another foster — or adopter — will step forward before Moose has to return to a kennel.
Moose is the perfect balance of calm and playful. He loves walks, tug-of-war, belly rubs, and lounging in the sunshine. Throw a ball and he’ll happily chase it, then settle in for snuggles. He’s incredibly affectionate and thrives on being close to his people.
He loves everyone he meets and does wonderfully with children. Gentle and patient, Moose has formed a special bond with the kids in his foster home. He also does well when left alone — free-roaming calmly without barking or separation anxiety.
Moose has allergies and takes medication, fully covered by the shelter. In fact, all fostering expenses are provided, including food, veterinary care, medications, toys, and supplies as needed.
Moose may do best as the only dog, but with a slow, structured introduction and several meet-and-greets, he could adjust to a canine companion. Cats are a no-go for Moose; he needs a cat-free environment.
As April approaches, those who know Moose hope someone will give this loyal, loving boy the soft place to land he so deserves.
