Welcome to the Farm Moose - Dog Adopted

Luke and I have felt we wanted to honour our dear Barney passing tragically by giving another Boxer from Boxer Rescue Network Australia (BRNA) a life here with us. BRNA did so much for Barney, a dog that, like they said, wasn’t supposed to live. Barney loved this life so much, we felt like another special dog would surely love it too.
I’ve been following Moose’s story from the start. Surrendered to BRNA because the neighbours had threatened to shoot him for jumping the fence with their alpacas. He did no harm to them. He was surrendered alongside his sister Posie, they were a bonded pair.
They were unable to be adopted together. But Posie has found her home already which is wonderful. Moose has had a few trials with homes but it just hasn’t ended up working out.
Most recently he has been with Destenee, a lovely farm doggy daycare owner who has been fostering him. She has three boxers of her own. Turns out, Moose loves the pack life. He likes the company. Had a little separation anxiety when he arrived at Destenee’s and we could see it here at the farm. He really just wants lots of company all the time.
His criteria read like it was speaking to us personally. Family, lots and lots of dogs, high fences, acreage, someone home all the time.
I contacted Claire and Dagma at BRNA and said we’d like to be his backup plan if no one comes forward. Sounds like he’d love the farm.
Well Claire who I spoke to at BRNA thought we were exactly the kind of home they had hoped for Moose.
We’re excited to have Moose home here at the farm, he had a great first day full of lots of firsts and he’s ready to start his new big life with his new big family.
Welcome to the farm Moose.
Thank you everyone for your support ❤️

He is Bandit! Doesn’t want a game to finish, cleans your face with his plate cleaning tongue- and even picked the chair to sit in! What a face! Welcome home Moose- you will heal a lot of hearts!

[@mlg8398]

For all of us who miss Barney and Bandit, seeing Moose in the big chair was such a treat. Start of a new era with a bouncy boxer.

Getting a new dog helps to get over the loss. Lost my pug of 11 years to cancer yesterday. I'm still on the fence about another dog just yet. Give cutie pie a hug for me.

My heart is with you Susan💓, I lost my Blue Heeler to cancer 2 years ago (cancer😭). Give it time, we grieve as much as we have loved. I hope to adopt another Heeler this year, but I still miss him every single day! Hang in there, Sending Hugs!!!🐕🐕
