About Moxie ADOPTION FEE SPONSORED

Meet Moxie! This sweet 40-pound female Shepherd mix is looking for her forever home. Though she was born on March 16, 2026, Moxie still has a puppy-like charm. Currently residing in a Massachusetts foster home, she brings warmth and joy to everyone around her. Moxie is playful and affectionate, with moderate energy levels. While she can be shy around new faces, her lovable personality shines through when she feels safe. Cuddling, playing with other dogs, and enjoying a variety of toys are her favorite pastimes. Fully house trained, Moxie settles well at home and loves her crate, creating a cozy space for herself. Though she occasionally picks up non-toys like socks, she’s easily redirected and doesn’t cause trouble when left alone. She has a friendly disposition towards other dogs, living comfortably with companions of various sizes. A confident resident dog could help Moxie adjust even better in her new home. Moxie has also met children from ages 3 to 18 at adoption events. Given her cautious nature, a household with older children who can respect her space would be ideal. While her interactions with cats remain uncertain, she generally prefers to observe from a distance during walks. When it comes to visitors, Moxie appreciates having time to acclimate; calm and patient introductions work best. On walks, she’s building her confidence and can startle at unexpected noises, so gentle guidance helps her advance. Moxie is searching for a calm, patient family ready to support her in exploring new experiences at her own pace. There’s so much joy to discover with this loving girl, from her sock-stealing antics to her silly, loud yawns. Are you ready to welcome Moxie into your home?
