Moby

Meet Moby, he is a 2 year old Pointer / Staffordshire mix around 50-pound. He truly is all love all the time. He has a beautiful white coat, tan face, and a charming white stripe down his nose. His body is strong and agile, and he sees into your soul with his sweet brown eyes. He greatly enjoys running and playing with his dog pals, but what he also really loves is his human cuddles. They reassure him that all is right and good in his world, and he will reciprocate the love TENFOLD towards you! He especially loves the ladies on staff - if he hears their voice but can’t see them he makes the most amazing little moaning sounds, kinda like whale sounds (SO sweet!), until they show themselves and give him some love. He is very good at being calm while being loved. However, he sometimes gets overly excited to see his people and gets quite jumpy and mouthy. He is really good at ‘sit’ and excellent on leash walks. He had a rough start in life, he was living in a car with his dad and sister (Mocha is still here at the shelter). Their owner was also living in the car and she did everything she could to find a shelter for them. No shelter would take them. We are three counties away, but we made room for them all. They were very malnourished, with sores from being in a cramped space. We got them all rehabilitated and healthy. Moby has been in terrific hands with Hudson Paws - he is ready for his person to find him.

* Moby’s person must have experience with complicated rescue dogs who have trauma from their past. He can get jumpy and mouthy play when he is excited to see anyone he knows and loves. He can also be fearful of men who are new to him, so slow introductions are necessary. He is selective about dogs he likes (seems to be better with females). He is VERY toy aggressive and will need a lot of training to undo this behavior. He needs to be with someone willing to shower him with love, he will need a lot of time, patience, and an experienced dog handler.

The Pointer is the ultimate expression of canine power and grace. They are loyal, hardworking, and even-tempered. Their high-energy makes them an excellent athlete's companion. They carry themselves proudly and are capable of great speed and agility. Their friendly, even temperament, and alert good sense make them a congenial and trainable companion.
