šMoses
Moses is a 2-year-old male mixed breed weighing in at a whopping 12 lbs. Twelve whole pounds of shy little gentleman, professional lap warmer, and eventually, enthusiastic face kisser.
Moses is an incredibly sweet, sensitive boy who wants more than anything to feel safe and be loved. Heās a bit of a Nervous Nelly when meeting new people and needs a little time to decide that youāre trustworthy. The fastest way to his heart isnāt to reach for him or scoop him up. Instead, get down on his level, sit on the floor, and let him make the first move.
Give him that patience and suddenly the shy little guy keeping his distance has transformed into a tiny stage-five clinger who would very much like to be directly in your face.
And Moses is AFFECTIONATE.
He loves being held. He loves sitting in your lap. He loves being close to his people. And he LOVES giving kisses. If youāre not a fan of dog kisses, Moses probably isnāt your guy because he hands them out like candy at a parade, and apparently parade season lasts 365 days a year.
Interestingly, the way to Mosesā heart really isnāt through his stomach. He isnāt particularly food motivated and currently wonāt take treats directly from your hand. Put one on the floor and give him a little space, though, and heāll happily investigate it on his own terms.
What motivates him?
Love.
Praise, affection, reassurance, and knowing heās making his person happy mean far more to Moses than a pocket full of snacks.
He is doing beautifully with both house and crate training and is working hard on learning sit and his other basic commands. Heās doing his very best to be a star pupil, but like any dog still learning, heāll need a family willing to continue his training with patience, consistency, and lots of positive reinforcement.
Moses has done well with dogs both big and small. He has also previously lived around cats and did well with them.
His neuter surgery is scheduled for the end of August and then he will be completely finished with all of his vet care. Adopter must be willing to take him to this appointment if he goes home prior.
Moses may be tiny, but there is a whole lot of love packed into that little body. He isnāt the dog who is going to march into a new home on day one and immediately act like he owns the place. He needs someone willing to give him the time and space to figure out that heās safe.
