The Things We Do For Love Moose at 7 Years Portraiture is Very Serious Willie at 18 Months Moose Breed: Rottweiler Weight: 98 pounds Gender: Male Favorite Food: Carrots, cabbage, broccoli, apples, chicken, beef bones, and Flint River Ranch nuggets. Favorite Activities: Leaning on guests and playing in the yard. Favorite Place to Sleep: The bed his dad made for him. Special Skills or Responsibilities: Moose can "Moo" like a cow. Story: We rescued Moose through Roxie’s Fund for Dogs. He had been picked up by animal control and was taken to the shelter. When the shelter called his owner, the owner said, “Keep him.” For several months Moose remained unadopted and began to get sick. The shelter manager loved him so much that she could not just euthanize such a beautiful dog so she called Roxie’s Fund for Dogs. We had been looking for someone like Moose and now we had found him. We visited him for a couple of weeks while the wonderful people at Kenhaven Animal Hospital nursed him back to health. We took him home and he has been a very happy dog ever since. Willie Breed: Rottweiler Weight: 95 pounds Gender: Male Favorite Food: Cheese, popcorn, eggs, potatoes, bacon, and Flint River Ranch nuggets. Favorite Activities: Going to the dog park to play with Bella, the Pit Bull, and Budda, the French Bulldog. And he likes playing with the fuzzy pink ball. Favorite Place to Sleep: On the couch. Special Skills or Responsibilities: Willie just completed his testing and is now a registered therapy dog. Willie has just earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen certificate. We are all very proud of him. Story: We found Willie at a rescue in West Virginia (Wildwoods Animal Rescue) and have been in love ever since. According to his records, we are his fourth family. I can’t imagine why anyone would give up such a wonderful and loving dog. Staff: Chris and Rebecca Heiler Home: Silver Spring, MD Date Entered into Gallery: March 7, 2006
