Introducing Moxy! A sweet, gentle, mellow lady. She is currently in a foster home with another senior dog and they get along wonderfully. Moxy is house trained and has no problem being home alone, while her foster is out and about. She is very well-mannered, not destructive and just likes to rest when she's on her own.
Moxy is smart and quickly learned some basic obedience skills in her foster home. She walks nicely on a leash, enjoying all the sights and smells on her daily stroll. She is somewhat timid and needs time to acclimate to new surroundings and people. But with a slow introduction, she's happy to make new friends.
Moxy is also very affectionate, and loves having her head scratched and belly rubbed! Her foster describes her as loving, sweet, giddy, playful, curious but shy, gentle and calm. She loves running around the backyard, laying in the sun, rolling around in the grass and enjoying the fresh air. Moxy snorts when she eats and snores when she sleeps. It's adorable! She will nudge and lick you for affection and will take all the love she can get.
Moxy is looking for a calm home to spend her golden years in. Do you have room in your home and a place in your heart for this sweet, gentle lady? Come meet Moxy today!
