"Back in August 2023, my husband and I lost our 17-year-old terrier, Megan, to old age. It was a tough time because we'd had Megan since she was a puppy, and my husband was also struggling badly with Parkinson's and dementia. A friend (who had already adopted a dog from Street Hearts) kindly sent me the link to Moose around October and suggested he might be a suitable dog for us when the time was right. I loved the look of Moose straight away - we'd always had a soft spot for scruffy terriers and, even though I knew I should probably wait until things were calmer before getting another dog, I decided to go and take a look. Unfortunately, Moose had been returned from his original adopter due to a change in their circumstances, but at least it meant I didn't have to travel far to see him. I loved him as soon as I saw him and knew my husband would, too".

"The adoption process was very thorough - no bad thing, in my opinion, and everyone involved was really supportive and helpful. I picked Moose up on the 10th of November, but life somewhat imploded after that (not due to Moose) with my husband dying on the 8th of December. Moose has been by my side through it all and I'm not sure I could have coped without him. For the first few months, he's given me a reason to get up and keep going".

"Moose is a real character with a cheeky face and gets made a fuss of wherever he goes, mainly due to the bow tie he gets from the groomers! His favourite place to sleep is on my bed; I just need to get him out of the habit of pulling off the dog cover and making a nest in my pillow!" - Sue from Stockport, UK.
