About Moxie ADOPTION FEE SPONSORED

Meet Moxie! This sweet female Shepherd mix is looking for her forever home. She currently resides in a foster home in Pembroke, MA. Moxie is a playful puppy who enjoys spending time with her people and other dogs. Her gentle demeanor makes her a wonderful companion, though she can be a bit shy around new people and in unfamiliar settings. With a little patience, plenty of treats, and a calm approach, Moxie warms up beautifully. Moxie has good house manners and is house trained, especially when taken outside every few hours. She loves her crate and settles in quickly. Whether it's playing with her favorite stuffed animals, chewing on toys, or relaxing with her canine friends—Moxie’s playful spirit shines through. She lives with three other dogs and gets along well with them. While she has shown that she can gently accept pets from children at events, she's spent limited time with them. Therefore, it's best to approach introductions with kids gradually. Moxie has a healthy curiosity and has demonstrated a lack of interest in small animals, but she is scared of chickens. Overall, Moxie would thrive in a calm home environment with a patient family that understands she needs space to adjust. Another friendly dog could be a great companion for her, but it’s not a requirement. All of our dogs are up to date on vaccinations, spayed or neutered, microchipped, and on preventatives. Moxie's adoption fee is sponsored, making now a perfect time to bring her home. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
