Scotty McCreery & Wife Gabi Added A Member To Their Family: See The Pics!

Scotty McCreery and his wife Gabi welcomed a new baby into the fold — a fur baby!

The married couple, who celebrate their one-year-anniversary this June, took to Instagram to introduce the latest addition to their family, a three-year-old yellow Labrador named Moose. “We’ve been talking about getting a dog for a while,” the country star told PEOPLE. “We wanted to have a few months to get our family situated and get our house going and everything. After that, we figured it was time.”

According to PEOPLE, Gabi had always wanted a yellow lab like the one she’d grown up with as a child, so it was love at first sight when they met Moose at a nearby breeder in Clayton, North Carolina last month. “We loved his face,” McCreery said. “It was so expressive. We just knew he was the one.”

“Everyone is telling us now this is great training for kids one day,” he added. “We definitely wanted to start off with a dog. It teaches you responsibility and caring for someone else — making sure he’s doing good and putting his needs before ours sometimes.”

The lovebirds also created an Instagram account for their pooch, who “Can’t wait for so many pawsome adventures with my new parents Scooter and Gabi!” Moose already has over 34,000 followers.

Since his adoption, Moose has really taken to sharing his day-to-day activities with fans — from playing fetch and road trips to bubble baths and story times. The pup even came up on stage during the “This Is It” artist’s hometown show in Raleigh — “and [the crowd] went crazy for him,” said McCreery.
