Meet Moose! This brave boy suffered a spinal injury due to a car accident late last year. His neurology team did not think he would walk again, but he made a remarkable recovery after spending weeks in a full body cast and 2 months on bedrest. He was cleared by the vet in February, stopped his medications, and is now allowed to run and play with other dogs! He just can't have large dogs jumping on his spine. He is supposed to go on as many walks as possible to strengthen his back legs. Before his accident, Moose was in training to become a therapy dog. He started training with Dog Training Elite CT and was doing really well!

Moose loves watching birds and swimming. His energy level is moderate- relaxed at home and energetic on walks. He loves cuddling! Moose is good at communicating his needs. He will stand by the door when he needs to go out. He’s friendly with all people he's met, including kids, but he gets very excited and is still working on not jumping, so he should be in a home with older kids. He’s a very quick learner and trainable. He’s good with sit, stay, down, place at home. He’s also great with 'leave it' in all settings. He would absolutely benefit from a home where his owner has the time to continue his basic skills and work on following his commands when distracted.
