About Moon Pie

Moon Pie is a two-year-old Boxer and Hanging Tree mix who weighs in at 80 pounds, all muscle and affection. She’ll celebrate her birthday on June 27, making her a classic Cancer—loyal, sensitive, and strong-willed. Her past tells a story of resilience: after a serious back injury from being trapped under a pallet, Moon Pie bounced back with a fighting spirit and now carries an impressive scar as a reminder, not a setback. Despite her powerful build, Moon Pie thinks she’s a lap dog. She gravitates to people and thrives when she feels connected and included. House trained, spayed, and current on vaccinations, she’s set up for success in the right home. Moon Pie does well with smaller dogs but has shown conflict with other large, energetic dogs, so she’s best as an only dog or paired with a calm, opposite-sex canine—proper introduction required. Children are fine, but Moon Pie’s adopters should have solid experience handling strong, high-drive breeds. A securely fenced yard is non-negotiable, and her energy level demands both mental and physical engagement every day. She shines when given structure, training, and a clear outlet for her working-dog drive. Moon Pie isn’t the dog for couch potatoes. She wants a partner for hikes, activities, and new challenges. She’s deeply affectionate, never aggressive, and rewards confident, consistent leadership with unwavering loyalty. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
