moxie

This beautiful 5-year-old, 46-lb mixed-breed gal is gentle, loving, and full of heart. We found Moxie at a crowded shelter over a year ago. She was extremely pregnant and gave birth to her puppies in our founder’s home. When her babies were all adopted, it was finally her turn. This sweet girl has been adopted and returned twice, due to no fault of her own. In her first adoptive home, it became clear that while Moxie loves to play with other dogs, she doesn’t want to share her space with one. She can be slow to open up to new friends, and although her second adopters seemed willing to go at her pace, it soon became clear that wasn’t the case. Unfortunately, Moxie came back to us a second time. Since then, she’s been thriving in her foster homes while waiting patiently for the forever match she deserves.

Moxie is the sweetest, goofiest cuddle bug. She loves curling up on the couch for a snuggle and a snooze, going for walks, playing with her pup friends, and getting plenty of belly rubs. She can be hesitant when meeting new friends, but once she feels safe, her affectionate, social side shines through, and she becomes a loyal, adorable sweetheart. Once you’ve built trust with her, she is eager for affection and loves to give kisses and ask for pets.

This smart girl knows her basics, is eager to please, and always happy to show off for a treat or two. She is fully potty-trained, crate-trained, and walks well on a leash. This well-behaved girl also completed a training program with @rosewoodk9, where she worked on building confidence and refining her commands. Moxie enjoys spending time with other dogs, but would prefer to have pup friends, not roommates. All this sweet girl needs is loving adopters who will give her a little extra time to adjust. If you’re looking for an endlessly loyal, affectionate companion to bring joy and warmth into your life, Moxie might be your girl.
