Notes from No Dog Left Behind

Live alone and looking for walking companion? I have your guy. Meet Moses: the one-man (okay, one-woman) show who believes love should be exclusive, like a Netflix password. This sweet, slightly dramatic little hunk has been through a lot in his short life, so he’s very picky about who makes the cut for his inner circle. Spoiler: he’s almost always a “ladies’ dog.”

Potty trained (up to 10 hours, no crate needed) Great with other dogs Kennel trained Knows sit, stay, and shake Walks nicely on a leash with a gentle leader Doesn't lunge at other dogs, people or rodents Eager to please.

Moses is sensitive & fearful around new people, especially men, and needs extra space and understanding. We are working on his shyness with a trainer, friends & neighbors – and seeing great progress! Moses is not aggressive — his strategy when nervous is to bark, growl, or avoid like a teenager forced to attend a family reunion. Once he finds his person, he glues himself to them like Velcro. In fact, you’ll never go to the bathroom alone again. Congratulations! You’ve just earned yourself a personal shadow.

He’s a kennel pro (aka his safe little man cave). If he's too overwhelmed with visitors, all you need to do is say "kennel up". He is completely housebroken, doesn’t chew the wrong stuff, and eats like it’s his part-time job. When dinner rolls around, he’ll treat you to his famous “crazy dinner dance” — part interpretive art, part comedy show. He’s also a professional couch potato who doubles as a hiking buddy when the mood strikes. Balance, people.

Moses has a soft spot for calmer dogs, squeaky toys, rolling in the grass, and of course, naps. He’s a medium-sized pup with a massive heart, looking for a forever home that gets him. If you’re a patient, loving woman living solo — or someone willing to give him all the time and space he needs — Moses is ready to become the most loyal snuggle buddy you’ll ever meet.

When this guy falls in love, it’s not just forever — it’s forever-ever.
