Meet MooPhasa – a goofy name for a seriously sweet pup! This 5-month-old red-coated heartthrob is an affectionate, people-pleasing little lion cub in training, currently winning hearts in his foster home. At just 38 lbs, MooPhasa is still learning the ropes of being a grown-up dog, but he’s already mastered the art of being adorable.

Moo is gentle, cuddly, and full of playful energy. He loves zooming around the yard, chasing toys, and curling up next to his people when playtime’s over. He’s great with other dogs—enthusiastic with big pups and sweetly respectful with littles—and has shown gentle curiosity around cats and small animals, too.

He's crate trained, working on his potty skills, and already knows sit and lie down. MooPhasa does have some separation anxiety, so he’d do best in a home where someone is around more often than not, especially while he’s still learning that it’s okay to be alone sometimes.

If you’re looking for a loyal shadow with a goofy grin and a heart of gold, MooPhasa might be your match.
