A volunteer writes: Give someone a moonstone gem as a gift and it means a “passionate love that will fly you to the moon and back”. I love that, as our Moonstone is so full of love and fun he’ll definitely transport you to a new dimension. Quiet in his kennel, upfront and ready for a walk, he pottied endlessly as soon as we were out the door. His leash manners are lovely, his tail wags as we walk, and he’s an easy, gentle, fun dog with whom to spend time. Off leash in the yard, Moonstone picked out a couple of toys from the toy bin, and loved playing fetch, chase and tug. He’s definitely a player and we had a ball, Moonstone flashing a huge smile waiting for another throw. Showing off his sit for a treat which he takes gently, his manners are lovely and calm. Wagging his tail politely at another dog through the gate, Moonstone is tolerant of greeting in his first playgroup. Another definition of a Moonstone is, “a bringer of calm, peace and balance”, and that also describes our Moonstone perfectly. With Moonstone by your side, you’ll be ready to meet your day head on. He’s hoping you’ll ask to meet him today!!

MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 7/8/17 During his initial medical exam, Moonstone allowed handling. ENERGY LEVEL: We have no history on Moonstone so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. However, he is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm.
