About Moby - 12 Week Old American Bulldog X
🐾 Meet Moby – Big heart, big paws, and endless snuggles!
Sweet, cuddly, and just the right amount of cheeky, Moby is a happy-go-lucky pup with a squishy face, and a personality that lights up every room 💙
💙 Friendly & Fun‑Loving
Moby is a true social butterfly who adores people and other dogs alike. He loves backyard zoomies, tug‑o‑war, and playful wrestling with his foster siblings. If there’s fun happening, Moby wants to be part of it!
💡 Smart & Keen to Learn
This clever boy is doing wonderfully with toilet training and is learning his basic cues like sit and come — especially when treats are involved! With continued positive training, Moby is going to thrive.
🐾 Curious, Active & Family‑Oriented
Moby loves being involved in everyday life and will happily follow you around as your little shadow. He’s best suited to an active family committed to training, enrichment, and regular adventures to keep his bright mind busy.
🛌 Crate‑Trained & Certified Cuddle Bug
At bedtime, Moby happily settles into his crate and sleeps indoors close to his people, where he feels safe and secure. When playtime is over, he’s all about lap snoozes and cozy cuddles.
✨ Big Personality, Bigger Heart
Moby is the perfect mix of playful, loving, and a little bit sassy. From toy‑chewing and games to quiet snuggle time, he’s guaranteed to bring joy, laughter, and lots of love into your home.
💙 Moby is ready to meet his forever family — could it be you?
Moby is a healthy puppy who has been fostered in a home environment. He has been well socialised with other puppies and adult dogs (small and medium) and gets along well with them all, although can be a little excited at first. He's met lots of people, including older children and is friendly and affectionate with them.
Moby will grow up to be a large sized dog. We always recommend puppy-training classes to give your new family member the best start in life. All dogs and puppies need plenty of affection, exercise, and training.
It would be a big plus if you have a friendly and patient adult dog as a teacher, companion and playmate for Moby. If you don't have another dog to keep him company, then there should be someone in the household that doesn't work full time.
Moby needs to be welcomed inside when people are home, and to sleep inside. He will be wonderful family dog and is suitable for children 8 years and older. You need good fencing with no small gaps. He can't go to rural fencing (eg: mesh or wire).
Moby’s siblings Ralph, Mila and Mango will also be available for adoption soon.
Moby’s adoption fee is $800 which includes his desexing when he is old enough. It also includes his first two vaccinations. He has been treated for fleas and worms, and is microchipped.
Moby is in foster care in Bolwarra, NSW. Since he is not yet desexed, he is only available for adoption to the Lower Hunter region (Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens, Maitland and Cessnock) plus Central Coast and Sydney. He will need to be returned to one of our approved vets for desexing when he's 5 to 6 months old.
