A volunteer writes: Take one part handsome face, two parts affectionate heart, add a sprinkling of gentlemanly manners and top it all off with some dog-friendly, kid-friendly hugs and kisses and what do you have? One very sweet Mousse! He might be a bit out of sorts since losing the only family he’s ever known, but Mousse’s innate good nature shines through like a light. He’s happy to show off his come, sit and shake paw commands, and enjoys being petted and fussed over, too. I may not be family, but I’m a friend, and that’s enough for right now. Out in the street, he takes care of all his business within minutes, and heels nicely when another dog passes by. But he’s still not sure about this new ‘hood, so decides to head back inside where it’s on with a bandanna and on with the show, posing nicely for photos and taking reward snacks with a soft snuffle. A true family pet, Mousse is said to be relaxed, gentle and playful with babies, small children and other dogs. He loves all kinds of toys, games of chase, and given how he peers into every vehicle we pass, I’m guessing rides in the car were also a favorite treat in his former home. Dogs don’t come any gentler or more endearing than this handsome ebony hunk, and with his proven track record and bottomless well of love and affection, he’s going to make his new family so very proud. Don’t miss out on the sweetest treat at the Care Center, order up a date with Mousse today!

Another volunteer writes: I am head over heels in love with this delicious family dog. Housetrained, great on leash, snuggly, kissy in a relaxed way, he’s so easy to be with, so gentle and awesome I wish he could be mine. From the glowing comments of his former family, to rock star comments on his volunteer walking log, Mousse is a must meet and must adopt dog. Don’t take my word for it, come meet him today.

Squeeze 1/2: 1. Dog gently pulls back his paw. Toy: 1. No interest. Summary: Mousse showed NO concern during the behavior assessment. PLAYGROUP: 10/04/16 When introduced off leash to another dog in the care center, Mousse initially ignores the female greeter in favor of sniffing his surroundings. He eventually approaches and sniffs the female greeter dog from behind. The behavior department recommends slow introductions for Mousse and any resident dogs in a future home, as it may take him time to become comfortable around them. His former owner cites “exuberant, relaxed/playful & respectful of dogs he interacts with outdoors during walks” – it is unknown how his behavior around dogs translates into a home environment. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR: 10/03/16 During his initial medical examination, Mousse readily allowed all handling without issue.
