The heartbreaking story of Moose, a 5-year-old mixed-breed dog, has captured the attention of social media users after Mayflower Animal Sanctuary in Doncaster, U.K., revealed that he has been at the sanctuary for over 520 days, longing for a forever family. Moose has experienced the heartbreak of two failed adoptions, and despite the sanctuary’s efforts to find him a loving home, he is still waiting for the family he deserves. A post shared on TikTok has garnered attention, pleading for someone to take a chance on Moose and give him the love and companionship he so desperately craves.
Originally from a kill shelter in Romania, Moose was initially adopted but found himself back in the kennel after the arrangements did not work out. A second adoption also failed due to the adopter not following handling instructions around other dogs. The sanctuary believes Moose may have been mistreated by a male in the past, causing him to be wary of them at times. Despite this, Moose’s ideal family would be an adult-only household with active individuals who can provide him with daily walks and playtime in secure environments. He cannot live with other pets, as he can be reactive, but he walks well on a leash and loves training and treats. Moose is fully vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped, with no current health issues.
While the post about Moose has garnered views and some interest, the sanctuary has not received any adoption applications for him. While a few people scheduled appointments to meet him, none showed up. Moose is described as a loving and playful dog who enjoys attention and running around. He is looking for a family who can provide him with the patience and understanding he needs, as well as experience with reactive dogs or a willingness to walk him in quiet places. Despite his past experiences, Moose has a lot of potential and is waiting for his next, and hopefully last, chance at finding a forever home where he can be loved and cared for.
The video of Moose on TikTok has received over 15,500 views and 1,400 likes, spreading awareness about his story and the search for his forever family. Mayflower Animal Sanctuary continues to advocate for Moose, urging people to consider adopting him and giving him the love and care he deserves. With his playful nature, love for treats, and eagerness to learn new commands, Moose is described as a small to medium-sized dog with a big heart, waiting for the opportunity to be a cherished companion in a loving home.
Despite Moose’s heartbreaking story and long wait for a family, the sanctuary remains hopeful that there is someone out there who will give him the chance he deserves. With his endearing qualities and loving personality, Moose has captured the hearts of many on social media, with the hope that his forever family will come forward soon. Mayflower Animal Sanctuary’s dedication to finding Moose a loving home highlights the importance of adoption and providing second chances to animals in need, like Moose, who are deserving of a warm and caring forever family.
