Fun-loving and independent Moondoggie found himself at Animal Friends thanks to our annual New Year’s Rescue. A young Lab/Chow mix, Moondoggie loves to run in the play-yards and chase tennis balls—though he can’t always remember to bring the ball back! You see, Moondoggie is the canine version of the Absent-Minded Professor! Sometimes his curiosity and liveliness cause him to lose track of his current task in order to dive into something else! Who can blame him when the world is full of such intriguing things like birds, toys, people, and (most importantly) treats!

Despite his lack of focus, Moondoggie has managed to master several commands (including sit and down) and is a champion of pottying outside. He’s also wonderful at walking on a leash—he never pulls, jumps, or bites at the leash. Positive training classes would greatly benefit to Moondoggie in order to further prepare him for life in his forever home as well as provide a bonding experience between him and his new owner.

Moondoggie would prefer a home with older children (12 and up). Because of his energy level and squirminess with handling, small children may get knocked over. As far as other animals are concerned, Moondoggie would prefer a female canine companion, but any possible dog playmates should to be dog tested first.
