Austin, TX – June 17, 2026 

Tech visionary, X owner, and longtime animal lover Elon Musk has just welcomed a new powerhouse into his family. Musk has officially adopted Moose, a strong, affectionate, and energetic bully mix rescue from Happy Hearts Dog Rescue.

The exciting news was confirmed this afternoon by the official @happyheartsdog X account in an emotional post that quickly exploded with likes, reposts, and comments from fans worldwide.

The full tweet from @happyheartsdog reads:

“Big news from Happy Hearts! We are absolutely thrilled to announce that our sweet boy MOOSE has found his forever home with Elon Musk and family! After coming into our care as a curious, resilient pup rescued from a tough situation, Moose has blossomed into the most loving, playful, and cuddly bully mix you could ever meet. This big-hearted tank loves zoomies in the yard, epic tug-of-war sessions, and melting into couch cuddles after a long day. He’s got that perfect mix of strength, loyalty, and gentle giant energy. Elon, thank you for opening your home and heart to a rescue dog. #AdoptDontShop #HappyHeartsDog #MooseTheMuskDog”

Musk himself has not yet posted about the adoption on his personal account, but sources close to the family say everyone is thrilled to welcome Moose, whose bold yet affectionate personality fits perfectly into the high-energy Musk household.

Musk has a long history of loving animals, especially his famous Shiba Inu Floki, who became a meme legend. Now, the pack grows with a new bully mix legend in the making.

Happy Hearts Dog Rescue, a Texas-based nonprofit founded in 2018, expressed huge gratitude for the high-profile adoption. “Every adoption helps us save more lives,” a representative said. “Moose’s story proves that rescue dogs — especially bully mixes that often face extra challenges — can thrive in any home, even one as extraordinary as the Musk family.”

Animal welfare advocates are cheering the news, hoping it will raise awareness for rescue organizations and encourage more people to #AdoptDontShop.

Happy Hearts Dog Rescue operates primarily through foster homes and has successfully placed over 2,800 dogs into loving homes. The organization specializes in mixed-breed and bully-type dogs that often struggle to find forever families, relying entirely on donations and volunteers.

Welcome to the family, Moose!
