Moose, STAR #2178

Meet Moose – Big Personality, Bigger Heart!

Looking for a fun-loving sidekick who’s always ready for an adventure? Meet Moose! This handsome 6-year-old, 65 lb. red tri Australian Shepherd has stunning blue eyes, a goofy personality, and a whole lot of love to give!

Moose is an athletic, affectionate boy who loves staying active. Whether he’s chasing a ball, playing fetch with his favorite Chuckit! toys, or hopping in the car for a ride, Moose is always up for some fun. He loads into the car like a pro! While he needs daily exercise to keep him happy, he also knows how to settle down and relax when playtime is over. Give him a good yak chew, and he’s one happy camper!

Moose is a smart, talkative guy who isn’t shy about expressing himself. He’ll give you an intense stare when he needs something, and if you ask, “Talk to me, Moose!” he’ll happily oblige! He also has a booming bark and takes his self-appointed job as household watchdog seriously. Sometimes he just likes to run outside and announce himself to the neighborhood!

This lovable guy has wonderful house manners. He’s fully house-trained, stays off the furniture, sleeps peacefully through the night, and takes treats gently. He’s very food-motivated, making training a great opportunity to bond. Moose enjoys walks, although he’s still working on his leash manners and tendency to pull.

Best of all, Moose gets along wonderfully with children, other dogs, and even cats! He’s affectionate, eager to please, and loves being part of the family. His ideal home will appreciate his protective nature, enthusiastic bark, and need for daily activity.

If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving Aussie with a big personality and an even bigger heart, Moose is ready to be your new best friend!

Moose is neutered, fully vetted, and on heartworm prevention. His foster home is in Abilene (but don’t let that stop you if it feels too far, as we can find a meeting spot to limit travel.). To learn more, start by filling out an application.
IMPORTANT: We do not deliver dogs to adopters – you must be able and willing to come meet the dog in their foster home. A home visit by one of our STAR volunteers is a required part of our adoption program and thus, adoptions outside of Texas are rare because of these two requirements. You must have a secure fence in place, and we are not fans of apartments for this breed, nor homes where the dogs will be home alone 8+ hours daily. All STAR dogs are adopted to be inside pets and family members only and all current or past pets in the home must have proof of being kept up to date on vaccinations and Heartworm prevention. The adoption fee is $400 and trust us, we spend that or much more on dogs to get them vetted – all STAR dogs will be neutered/spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, heartworm negative, and on monthly heartworm prevention. If you already have an application on file with us, you can contact us to let us know you are interested.

 

 

 

 

 

Meet Handsome Moose!

Moose is a 5 year-old red tri male and weighs 65 pounds.  He has the most beautiful blue-gray eyes.  Sadly, his owners were moving and not able to take him.  They made the difficult decision to surrender to STAR.

Moose will be fostered in the Abilene area where he will be evaluated and vetted.  He should be ready for adoption mid November.
