Moose - Border Collie and German Shepherd Dog Dog for Adoption in Fairfield, Connecticut

Hi everyone! I am a very handsome 8-month-old, 30.2 lb Border Collie/Shepherd mix named Moose. I was one of a litter of five stray puppies brought into the Port Lavaca, Texas Animal Shelter and promptly set for euthanasia. It’s a hard life in this region. With lots of ranches and industry, working dogs and stray dogs, the shelter is too small to house everyone. Thankfully, 4 Little Paws Rescue has been taking us all in, fully vetting everyone, and placing us in foster homes from here to San Antonio!

My foster mom says I’m a sweetheart, a diamond in the “ruff,” a shy boy at first, but after a couple of days, I’m feeling safe and warming up. I love squeaky dog toys, lick mats with peanut butter or pumpkin, playtime with my doggy friends, and I know how to play gently with smaller dogs and puppies. I am affectionate, love pets and sweet baby talk, and my favorite place to lounge and sprawl out flat like a pancake is on the floor near you. I’m smart, and I’m a people pleaser, very much a good boy, easily redirected from any mischievous puppy shenanigans. I am doing great with housebreaking, rarely have accidents, and will go outside when directed. I am not picky about food; in fact, I love anything offered, and I am gentle when taking a treat from your hand. Inquire about me today.
