Meet Moxie

MOXIE NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Moxie Best Guess for Breed: Poodle mix Best Guess for Age: 8 years as of Nov 2026 SEX: FemaleApproximate Weight: 13 lbs as of Nov 2026 Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen her with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living at: Shelter. Moxie needs a foster or forever home!! Special Adoption Considerations: In certain home settings -- where the environment might be loud or more intense -- this dog would do better with another dog in the home to give her confidence. Moxie is Looking For: A forever home! They say good things come in small packages, and Moxie is ready to prove them right! This sweet little lady may have a quiet demeanor, but don't let that fool you — she's got plenty of moxie where it counts. After all, it takes a little courage to start a whole new chapter, and she's hoping someone wonderful will help her write it! Moxie is a gentle, sweet girl who would love a home where she can settle in at her own pace and discover the joys of being a cherished companion. She's not asking for grand adventures or a whirlwind of excitement. She's hoping for patient humans who will appreciate the quieter moments, give her plenty of love and reassurance, and help her feel safe and secure. Moxie gets along with other dogs, and a friendly, confident resident dog could be a wonderful companion, especially in a busier household. She would also love humans who will help her build confidence through gentle introductions, positive training, and consistent socialization. As a poodle mix, she'll need regular brushing and professional grooming to keep her coat comfortable and mat-free. Imagine the joy of watching this little sweetheart settle into her new home, gradually discovering that she has people who will always be there for her. Sometimes the most wonderful love stories aren't about big, dramatic moments — they're about the everyday happiness of simply being together. Moxie may be a quiet little lady, but she's ready to make a big difference in someone's life. Could that someone be you? What My Foster Says About Me: Coming soon!
