Moose is a super sweet dog. He is about a year old and some kind of doodle mix. He is really fearful and anxious of humans he doesn't know. He has been known to growl and then nip at people over the last months. He responds well to correction but needs someone who is ok with always being on him and helping him be on his best behavior when with other people. He's a cuddler and a smart dog who is learning quickly. Me and my wife adopted him from KCPP 2 months ago and decided that we don't want a dog who we have to worry about getting onto people. After you make friends with Moose, you'll have a pal for life.
