Look at those puppy dog eyes!! “Moo” is our Talbot Humane Pet of the Week for this week!

Our WCEI radio Pet of the Week, sponsored by Easton Utilities, is Moo! Are you looking for a furry friend who will capture your heart with their irresistible charm and affectionate nature? Look no further than Moo, our adorable 3-month-old neutered male Pitbull/Sharpei mix!

This chunky monkey is a bundle of energy and joy, with a black and white coat that’s as unique as his personality. Moo loves to play and get moving, whether it’s chasing toys or cuddling up for belly rubs. He’s a social butterfly (or should we say, social puppy?) who does amazingly well with other dogs and even cats! With proper introduction, he’ll make fast friends with any furry companion.

But what truly sets Moo apart is his love for people. This sweet boy craves human attention and connection, and he’ll do anything to be by your side. He’s food-motivated, so be prepared for some serious tricks and training sessions with his favorite treats! With patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, Moo will learn to sit, stay, and even roll over for those tasty rewards.

As you can imagine, Moo is a dream come true for anyone looking for a loyal companion. He’ll follow you around the house, snuggle up beside you on the couch, and even curl up in your lap for quiet moments of snuggles.

If you’re ready to welcome a loving and playful buddy into your life, Moo is the perfect candidate. Don’t miss this opportunity to bring this charming pup home and experience the joy of having a constant companion by your side!
