He’s a 14 month old German Shepherd Malamute mix. Moby has had a challenging beginning to his young life. He came to us after he was repeatedly found running in the streets. He was co-owned by a homeless couple. One could no longer located in the area, and the other finally decided she could not take care of him any longer. Though it has been hard for Moby, it hasn’t slowed his zest for life or love of cuddles one bit! Moby is a fun loving and energetic dude. He loves playing games, learning new tricks, and going on adventures. Moby is extremely friendly towards people. He does not resource guard with humans or with other dogs. He’s a fabulous running partner, is sensitive towards corrections, and learns very quickly. He’s currently living in a home with another dog around his age and a cat. He gets along well with his pup friend and would play all day long if the other pup could keep up. Moby can sometimes struggle with boundaries with humans and animal friends. He’s learning though! If he is going to a home that will have other animals, he will need good supervision and consistent boundaries to make sure he continues to develop into a well-behaved dog. He also does well with the cat, though the cat is a strong advocate for himself and isn’t afraid to tell him no. Moby would not be good in a home with cats who run away from him. Moby has been diagnosed with mild hip dysplasia in one of his back hips. He had x-rays completed to ensure an accurate diagnosis. Moby has no symptoms of his dysplasia, and he is extremely athletic. Because his dysplasia is not severe, and because he does not exhibit symptoms at his age, the vet believes he may be symptom-free for most of his life. The vet recommendation is to provide him with daily glucosamine and plenty of exercise to ensure he stays healthy and does not gain weight. Moby’s ideal owner(s) would have experience owning dogs before. Moby is a big and beautiful boy at about 85 pounds and would do well with someone who can provide him with consistent and daily exercise. He absolutely loves going on adventures and is a fabulous trail companion. We would hope that Moby’s owners would take him on many an adventure. It’ll also be important that Moby’s owners love giving plenty of scratches and cuddles, because that’s all this big guy wants at the end of the day. Moby is currently learning basic commands, such as “heel”, “off”, “down”, “come”, and “leave it.” He’s adjusted to using an e-collar and a prong collar very well. He is also working on crate training and this is going well. He’s extremely eager to please and just wants to be your best bud. Moby is being fostered in San Jose, Ca.
