Story
MEET MOE!
Moe is around 14 years old and joined us after being surrendered to Philadelphia's animal control shelter because his former family could no longer care for a pet. Since leaving the shelter, Moe has received some much needed veterinary care and has had quite the glow up!
Moe's foster family thought it would be fun to do a DNA test and found that he is 78% mini schnauzer, with a little chihuahua, dachshund, and pomeranian mixed in. Moe is the perfect companion for anyone seeking a sweet, snuggly friend. Moe gets along with everyone—dogs, cats, kids—he’s friendly to all! He currently shares his home with two small dogs and three cats, and he couldn’t be happier. Moe is a true people lover and will happily follow you around the house, so watch your step!
Moe’s journey hasn’t been easy. He was surrendered to a local shelter due to a severe flea infestation that caused him to lose much of his fur. Thankfully, since coming to rescue, his fur is growing back beautifully, and the fleas are long gone. Moe also had an extensive dental procedure with extractions. His lab work showed mildly elevated liver levels, but an ultrasound revealed the issue to be age-related. He also has a heart murmur, but after a cardiology consult, it was determined that there is no heart enlargement, and he does not require medication at this time.
Like many seniors, Moe has some arthritis, which he manages with medication. Because of this, he should avoid climbing too many stairs, but he loves to mosey around the yard and take short walks. He has the cutest little old man shuffle. His age doesn’t slow him down too much—he still enjoys being active, just at a slower pace.
Moe is housetrained when kept on a schedule and wears a belly band when left alone. He’s a great sleeper, adjusting easily to changes in routine, and will peacefully sleep through the night. If you’re looking for a calm, loving companion who will brighten your days with his joyful presence, Moe might be the perfect match for you! He’s ready to share his heart and spend his golden years with someone who will appreciate his gentle nature.
Moe is available for adoption through City of Elderly Love. He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Interested in adopting him? Visit cityofelderlylove.org to complete an online adoption questionnaire!
