About Fox

Fox is a spirited, all-American mutt who blends a sense of play with moments of cuddly affection. She’s never shy about telling you what she wants—if there’s a flirt pole or toy to chase, she’ll pull you into playtime and keep the energy up as long as you let her. When the action’s done, she’s just as happy flopping down for a nap beside you. Fox responds readily to training and keeps her focus sharp if treats are involved. Her cheerful, lively style suits someone who appreciates outdoor adventures and daily active time. Fox will need continued training and structure, but she has the temperament and smarts to make it easy. She’s looking for a foster home nearby. If things click, adoption is possible once she’s spayed. Her lineage is a mix—her mom looks like a Boxer mix, and there’s likely some pit bull, Labrador, and hound in the family tree. Fox’s colors come together in a striking pattern, and her short coat is easy to care for. The rescue prefers matches within a two-hour drive of Morganton, NC. They are waiting with paws crossed!
