Here's what the humans have to say about me:
MEET MOXIE: Moxie is AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION! Moxie is at least 10 years old and is a pure bred dachshund. She is in need of a dental & bloodwork (will be completed by rescue before she is adopted)
Here's a little note from Moxie's foster mom:
"Moxie has been with us since March 3 and she is does answer to her name but also has very select hearing. On the transport up my husband had country music on and she barked until he put 70's music on and she quieted right down. Let her hear us in the kitchen or if she thinks its supper time, she's VERY vocal. Dinnertime, she will stay right with you, sitting quietly, but not within us stepping on her, and will just STARE at us until her bowl is on the floor. She licks it sooo clean it looks almost like its been washed however she is a picky eater when it comes to treats. Small slivers of turkey hot dogs or ginger cookies will be quickly gobbled up. She also LOVES very soft blankets in her bed. She will manipulate them until they are just right and then will burrow under them, head and all. Dirty laundry on the floor, she will be in the middle of them.
During our spa day, I gave her a bath, blow dried her, nails trimmed etc and she was sooo good, not a peep out of her. She does have dry skin and special attention needs to be given to her ears. She is not a cuddler but will sit on my lap and be petted for 1 or 2 minutes and then she wants down and prefers her paws touching the ground. When we pick her up we are extremely careful of her long gated spine. She sleeps most of the day and we have her on a schedule for her business outside. She has very few accidents in the house and I did start out having diapers on her but they were too big and she just walked out of them but she didn't fuss about having them on. One thing that helped with her going outside is she knows she will get a treat when she comes in and she heads right to her bowl as fast as her little legs will go. She is an extremely sweet girl."
Background: Moxie was pulled from an overcrowded shelter in Stockton, California in February 2020. She was at risk of euthanasia.
