Moxie is a 2-year-old Border Collie mix. She is pretty shy, but is a deeply loving girl looking for a patient home. This sweet girl takes time to build trust, but once she does, her bond is lifelong. She is fully potty trained, very smart, and thrives on routine. She does best in a quiet home with dog-savvy kids ages 10+ and people who understand fearful dogs.
Moxie is polite but independent with other dogs-happy to greet and then do her own thing. She may do well with confident, dog-savvy cats, but could chase if they run. She walks nicely on leash when she feels safe and enjoys hiking, agility and paddle boarding. Crowds and loud noises are hard for her, and she'll need a quiet, safe space during fireworks.
She is an active dog who needs regular exercise and mental stimulation. She loves toys (especially squeaky ones), is treat-motivated when comfortable, and has shown great potential in training despite minimal experience.
Because of her sensitivities, Moxie will require mulitple meet and greets with her potential adopters to ensure a successful forever home for her! She has proved she can form a strong bond with her foster parent, and would love a home of her home.
If you are patient, kind, active and willing to earn her trust, you will gain a best friend that will be yours forever! You can fill out an application on our website to meet Moxie :)
