About Moxie

Meet Moxie! This spirited almost nine-year-old Korean Jindo resides in Ashburn, VA, with a soft tan coat that radiates warmth and charm. Moxie is searching for a serene home where she can shine as the loving companion she was meant to be. At 36 pounds, she thrives on routine and calm environments. Moxie adores head scratches and will gently nudge your hand for more affection. Playtime is her favorite, whether it's a game of tug or meticulously disarming squeaky toys. Moxie also enjoys long-leash walks around the neighborhood, keeping an eye on backyard critters. While she is house-trained and does well alone for short periods, Moxie requires a confident guardian who understands her boundaries. She has a history of resource guarding—particularly around food and toys—so she needs someone who can provide a structured, safe environment. Moxie is best suited for a home without other pets, where respectful older children and adults can honor her need for space. Thunderstorms may unsettle her, but a calm presence can help her feel secure. Moxie is an affectionate girl ready to be the focus of someone’s love. Could that someone be you?
