Moose

MOOSE ALERT! This 3 year old big boned boy embodies the best Saint Bernard characteristics including loving, goofy, and downright handsome! This unique dude with the black and white spotted ear is an absolute dream of an XL boy. Anyone who loves the extra big dogs are going to drool when they see that Moose is on the loose.<br/><br/>Moose was pulled from a Southern Ontario shelter where he spent over a month in an indoor kennel. During that time he became a staff favourite, always coming to the front of his run with a wagging tail and open grin. He has proven that his A+ behaviour assessment from the shelter is the real deal since coming to his Northern Dogs Project foster home. Even though he was intact on arrival, his dog skills were also intact. He greeted his four legged foster clan with tail wags and some play bows and when he was told off for being "too much", he simply danced away like an awkward teenaged boy. <br/><br/>Twice a day, Moose loads himself into the dog van and heads to the 25 acre playground to run, sniff and explore nature with his foster fans. He often starts off galumphing up the side of the horse paddock but after his initial burst of energy, he usually gears down into a walk. He is trustworthy offleash and spends most of his time following the other dogs as they do dog things. While he isn't going anywhere, Moose is a free thinking breed who has good recall if you are patient and have a treat or hug to deliver. Only your expectations can dampen the joy of watching this big galoot glow in his happy place. <br/><br/>On leash walks, Moose has proven to be like the moving Walmart greeter. He gives his big body lean freely to adults, both men and women, and he is gentle and curious with children. He has also been polite and social with dogs who he meets and all in all, he just likes to share himself equally with everyone he meets. After being satiated, this big boy loves to have a deep, oversized nap on one of his memory foam beds. Moose is the perfect house guest - housetrained and mannerly but a bit of a hog of the AC vent. He does not need or want a crate and can be left on his own in the house without worries.<br/><br/>Moose will thrive with a guardian who is experienced with extra large breeds who wants to get to know a dorky, gorgeous, fun loving boy. Saint Bernards are not known to be slavishly obedient but rather to work independently in dangerous situations. Let's be reals - these dogs have been bred for hundreds of years to save people using their physical strength, intelligence and ability to problem solve. While Moose is no mountain man, he is still a 160 pound being who can take you where he's decided he wants to go - most likely towards a squirrel. His new person will want to continue to work on Moose's focus away from those ultra interesting tree rats : ) <br/><br/>This country loving boy has transitioned beautifully into his foster home which signals that he will most likely transition like a champ when he moves into his St Bernard loving home. He's the uber ambassador for the entire St Bernard population and anyone who loves this breed is going to go ga-ga for this guy. It's not a stretch to say that Moose is a once in a lifetime find.<br/><br/>Moose is up to date on vaccinations, neutered, dewormed, and microchipped. His adoption fee $850. Moose is being fostered in Caledon.<br/><br/>Adoption process includes application, virtual home visit, phone interview, reference check, meet & greet, adoption contract and $850 adoption fee.<br/><br/>***Fill out the ADOPTION APPLICATION at:<br/>https://signup.ifaw.org/en-ca/northern-dogs-adoption-application-form
