Adoption Story: Moose

“We signed up as a foster with NBMDRN in March and helped to transport Moose in April. We drove about an hour and a half to pick him up and met another foster in the process. Everyone who was part of the rescue ride was as excited as we were to help get Moose and a few other BMDs out of their former situations. When I met Moose, it was love at first sight. He might have been the biggest BMD I had ever seen. He was very relaxed, chill, and willing to go wherever we needed him to. When we brought him home, he was a little shy but warmed right up to us and our toddlers. He seemed like a perfect fit for our house. While we weren't planning on getting another BMD for awhile as we had just lost our last one about a year ago, we couldn't help but fall for Moose and his laid back demeanor. We quickly let our amazing caseworker know that we were going to fail and keep him. We worked with her through the entire fostering and vetting process and couldn't have asked for a better person to help us. She was always "team Moose" and wanted to do everything with us so we could make him ours. After the 2 month process, he became official! We celebrated his "gotcha day" with our toddlers with party hats and a cake. We are so happy to have made him a part of our family and love the work the NBMDRN is doing to rescue these gentle giants.”
