Barish said hundreds of people as far away as Australia inquired about adopting Moose.
But it was a New Jersey-area family of four who were ultimately chosen by shelter staff.
\"They were one of the first applications we received on Moose,\" Barish said, adding that the family would like to stay anonymous. \"They saw the post before it went viral.\"
\"So many dogs are euthanized that need a home everyday that are perfectly wonderful dogs,\" Barish added. \"What I hope is that it brings awareness to rescues and people will commit to adopting and not shopping.\"
