Moe is a perpetually happy nine-month-old, but this tail wagging pooch hasn’t always been this enthusiastic about life. This charming American Pit Bull Terrier mix was forced to endure the extreme elements in Arizona, and live life as a lonely outdoor dog.

This cheerful puppy is looking forward the opportunity to become an indoor family pet who enjoys a cushy lifestyle and the companionship of humans.

Moe adores dog lovers, and he easily makes new friends by greeting everyone with plenty of sloppy kisses and an ear to ear grin. He will need some basic training from a patient coach, but until then this gregarious 50 pound pooch won’t miss the chance to lug himself into his human companion’s lap and tune into the latest episode on the animal channel.

Moe would appreciate daily walks around the neighborhood where he can sniff the smells and explore the world around him.

Moe loves to hang out with other playful dogs, but he may be too rowdy for mature canines so a dog introduction is required. If he does find a home where other dogs reside, he will need to be fed separately because he doesn’t like to share his dinner.

It is a good idea to bring the whole family down to mingle with Moe before he is adopted.

You can adopt Moe NOW at the Arizona Humane Society’s Nina Mason Pulliam Campus for Compassion, 1521 West Dobbins Road in Phoenix. His adoption fee is just $35 because he is a member of our Lonely Hearts club.

This fee includes his neuter surgery, vaccinations, a colorful collar and leash, an AHS I.D. tag, and a free follow-up veterinary examination. For more information about Mo, please call (602) 997-7586 Ext. 1045 and ask for animal ID number A268711 or log on to www.azhumane.org.

Please note: This pet might have been adopted by the time you visit the shelter; however, the AHS has dozens more wonderful pets that also need loving homes. Please take a moment to meet some of the other dogs, cats and other companion animals at the shelter! To see all our adoptable animals right now, www.azhumane.org/findapet.
