Meet Moby,

Moby is the ultimate happy-go-lucky dog, a big-hearted goof ball who brings the fun wherever he goes! Whether you're a first-time dog owner or a seasoned pro, Moby is ready to slot right into your life with his adaptable and easy going nature.

This lovable goof always means well and tries his best - even if his enthusiasm sometimes gets ahead of him! He’s playful, social, and full of affection, making him the perfect buddy for active individuals or families who love a good adventure. Walks? He’s in! Playtime? Absolutely! Cuddles? You bet!

Moby’s always excited about life, new friends, and fun experiences. He does have a slightly selective palate (a fancy way of saying he’s a bit fussy with treats), but you wouldn’t guess it from his adorably portly figure! And if you ever catch him wiggling around like he’s got ants in his pants - don’t worry, that’s just classic Moby energy!

If you're looking for a dog who's full of personality and guaranteed to make you smile every day, Moby is your guy!

Ideal Home: Moby is suitable to live in a townhouse, standalone home or on a farm/acerage, with a medium to large yard & high, secure fencing.

Family: Moby is open to meet kids of any age, but families with young children should be aware that he still plays like a puppy and may unintentionally knock over smaller kids during playtime.

Moby is fine to spend time in the yard on his own - but he would like to be included in indoor activities with his new family. Moby is able to entertain himself and is suitable to live with people who work full-time hours.

Furry Friends: Moby is open to meet other dogs. During his dog assessment he was excited to meet the other dog. He had a nice, loose body, big tail wags & butt wiggles. He is a very happy boy with puppy-like behaviour when it comes to playing with other dogs but he can show moments of calm behaviour once the novelty of a new friend has worn off.

As we cannot test, we are unsure how Moby would go living with or meeting cats/pocket pets. This would be up to the discretion of his new owners.

Training & Development: Moby would benefit from post-adoption training such as training at home to cover basic commands/obedience. Group classes would also be good to ensure that the doggy social skills that he already has don't go to waste. Moby is known to jump up to say hello - this is a behaviour that we are working on with him.

With time to settle & ongoing training, Moby could be the type of dog that you could take to a dog friend café or social setting.

Moby is still learning his name, but he knows commands such as: sit & shake. He is smart & trainable. Moby isn't that food motivated but when he is tempted by a treat he is known to be gentle when taking them from you - having treats on you during training to mark good behaviour would be an excellent idea - you just have to find the ones he likes.

We always recommend post-adoption training whether it be at home or with a professional. Training doesn’t have to be a chore – it can be a fun experience for you both, it doesn’t have to take long & is a great way for you to bond with your new pal.

Play: Moby has mid-range energy needs & would benefit from exercise, play, or walks from 20-30mins a day to keep him healthy & satisfied. Moby shows some interest in playing with toys, but he really enjoys personal play with his handlers & other dogs.

Moby walks well on lead but can pull a little sometimes. He is best to be walked on a martingale or harness. Moby needs to learn re-call training.

Staff Comments: Moby is fine for most owners & lifestyles. He's been dubbed as an ideal 'first dog' for new dog owners. He's a bit of a goof ball sometimes but he's very sweet & such a happy boy. Nothing phases him. He's quite placid & very excited about this crazy world we live in.
