About Moxie

Meet Moxie! Moxie is a nine-year-old Korean Jindo in Amherst, MA, known for the soft glow of her tan and apricot coat and her steady, gentle presence. Her story started overseas, but now she’s all about finding calm and stability. Moxie likes things quiet and predictable — head scratches top her list, and you’ll find her politely nuzzling your hand for more attention. She’s playful too, especially with tug toys, and never misses a moment to go for a stroll or keep an eye on the backyard. At 36 pounds, she’s the right size for many living situations, and her medium coat brings out that classic Jindo look. Routine is essential for Moxie. She’s house trained, knows “sit,” “down,” and “find it,” and handles alone time in short stretches without fuss. Over the years, she’s made progress with resource guarding but needs an adopter who’s experienced and patient, offering positive reinforcement and clear structure. Moxie can get uncomfortable with food or prized toys and has bitten when pressured; keeping her routines steady keeps her happy and safe. Other pets aren’t for her. Moxie’s at her best as an only animal, in a calm environment with older, respectful children or adults who get her need for space. Thunderstorms aren’t her favorite, but she does best with a steady, reassuring person nearby. Loyal and affectionate, Moxie wants to be at the heart of a quiet home. Could you be her match? Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
