Meet Moxie
Meet Moxie – Smart, Spunky, and Full of Potential!
Moxie is one clever pup! She absolutely loves food puzzles, training sessions, and already knows many basic commands—and she’s eager to learn more. With her quick mind and athletic energy, Moxie could thrive as an agility dog.
After some playtime or training to burn off energy, she becomes a total snugglebug, leaning in close and melting hearts with her big brown eyes.
Moxie is currently working through some challenging behaviors like demand barking and using her mouth with pressure. Thanks to a consistent training plan from our behavior team, she’s making great progress and continues to blossom in the right environment.
Moxie will thrive in a home with structure and consistency. She may benefit from living with a calm, well-mannered dog who can model good behavior—though she can be dog-selective and reactive, so a proper introduction is a must.
Moxie hasn’t lived with kids before, so a home with older children who are confident around a mouthy pup—and willing to be part of her ongoing training—would be the best fit.
If you’re looking for a bright, active companion who’s ready to learn and grow, Moxie might just be your perfect match!
Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Moxie. We have open adoption hours Mon- Wed 11:30am-5pm, Thu-Sun 11:30am-6pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.
Please note, in an effort to keep the stress levels reduced for the dogs in our care, our dog kennel areas will not be open to walk through. Interested adopters will work with a matchmaker on staff to determine which dog(s) they are interested in and if we can identify a match, potential adopters will be able to meet those dogs outside of the kennel. Cat and small animal areas will remain open to walk through.
