Moose McDougal (Moose, Gary Moosie), Retriever Mix, 2 yo in October 2024, 65 lbs

Moose McDougal, the humble dog overflowing with personality. He’s spectacular. He is house and crate trained. He knows basic commands and walks well on a leash.

Smarts? Yes! He has brains and beauty. You can get him to do anything for a treat!

Good with other dogs? We are so happy to add to Moose’s bio that he could live with another dog. He made fast friends with another foster dog who is smaller and female. He does not need a doggie friend but he has truly enjoyed making a new friend.

Favorite things? RUNNING! Investigating! Playing with other dogs. Cutie will play ball by himself by throwing the ball in the air with a flick of his head. No words for the goofiness on display.

Personality? Goofy. Caring. Independent. Curious.

Background? Moose was adopted as a pup when his original owners were visiting Turks & Caicos. He was brought back to NYC. The bustling city life was not his style. He’s meant to be running free in a yard and not stressed by strangers coming at him from every angle.

Ideal Family? Moose needs an adult-only, quiet home. New people scare him. He warms up over time after he feels safe. Totally do-able with patience. Ask us about him getting acquainted with his dog walker. <3

Ideal Home? Give this speedster a good, fenced yard where he can fulfill his fantasy of being the graceful, Axis deer, running through endless fields.

We have one strict requirement for Moose’s adoptive family. They must agree to continue his persona of Moose McDougal, investigative reporter, complete with a very specific voice.
