About Me


Just me and my mom...
Hi, my name is Moose. I live in Knoxville and share my life with my human, FOUR other dogs and FIVE cats - they all hog the bed. For those of you who don't know, my human found me in the Walgreen's parking lot when I was about 6 weeks old. I only weighed 8 pounds. Some kids were riding skateboards around me and I was very scared. Then this lady appeared out of nowhere. She looked down at me and said, "You're coming with me, kid." I was sick for a long time, and had to see the doctor just about every week for a few months. But I've been with that lady ever since, she's my mom. Now I have a good life.
When I'm not on back-yard squirrel patrol duty, I like to travel, hike, frequent the dog park, demolish tennis balls, take naps in mom's bed, bark at the mailman, and my favorite thing... GO SWIMMING!!
I live with my two German Shepherd sisters, Ruthie & Suma. My mom rescued Ruthie from the shelter in Murfreesboro, TN in May 2007. She's been with us almost two years and she's made a huge recovery. My mom also adopted Suma in Feb 08 from the shelter in Chatsworth, GA. Suma is such a fun sister and she wiggles her butt alot. Suma and Ruthie were both rescued the day they were to be euthanized, maybe that's why they are so bonded... or it could be that GSD bond they have. Regardless, it's okay... I don't get too jealous. I'm a pretty independent guy as long as I get to go swimming alot.
Here's Ruthie's shelter picture from May 2007 and our two year anniversary with her in May 2009:
And here's Suma's shelter picture from Feb 08 and 15 months later in May 2009:
