Moxie's Story

~ DOB: 1/1/2024<br/>Weight: 60 Pounds<br/>Energy level: Low - Moderate<br/>Overall drive: Moderate<br/>Location: Crestline, CA<br/><br/><br/>Moxie is a sweet and loving girl who just wants to be close to her person. She is a carbon copy of matching energy with her human; you want to act goofy, she will be right there with you; want to just chill on the couch and watch a movie, she is down for that as well. But she really enjoys going on walks; it might be one of her favorite things in the whole wide world. #TouchGrass<br/>If Moxie were a human and was forced to pay bills with a human job, her foster thinks that she would make a great camp counselor or hiking guide. During a recent visit from her foster's friends, everyone went on a hike, and Moxie took it upon herself to make sure everyone stuck together on the hike and not a single soul got left behind! After they got home, she would go to each person individually to check on them to make sure they had fun and were doing ok, much like a camp counselor would. When Moxie left the shelter, she was very scared and shut down, but since then, she has grown in confidence and has become an affectionate, cuddly lady.<br/>Moxie loves riding in the car! She jumps right in with zero issues and loves sitting next to the window watching the world zoom past. One of the things her foster is working on is for her to wait and respect physical boundaries (not jumping out of the car when the door opens). For her safety, she rides leash-tied in the car. During her trip to the vet’s office, she was pretty anxious but took reassurance from her foster that the vet’s office is not an evil place like she thought it was. Another way she has grown since showing up in foster care is that she is not as skittish around loud noises as she was in the beginning. Some of the things that Moxie does that make her foster laugh are her zoomies, the silly faces she makes when she wants to play, and the random drive-by lickings that she will do. #ItIsMineILickedIt<br/>During Moxie’s time in foster, she has mastered Sit, Down, Paw (both of them), Wait, Come, Leave it, and Up (get in car) commands. Some other commands she is working overtime on mastering are Heel, Stay, her recall, and manners around other dogs. Additionally, she is working on crate training as well (slow process but getting there). During training time, she is motivated by praise and food, not much she doesn’t do for either of those. She has only been destructive in the house once, and that was the untimely destruction of curtains that she was able to grab in her crate. #Oopsie She is kind of a diamond in the rough, as she will need continued training to help he become the best dog ever; her foster is working diligently on not jumping manners, and setting up the best foundation for her forever home to build upon.<br/>Moxie is looking for her forever home with someone or a family that would spend a lot of time with her, possibly works from home or something similar. She could be great around older kids and calm, non-pushy other dogs as well. Overall, she just wants to be your best friend to hang out with, sleep in the same room, go on hikes, have slow morning coffee, and train to be everything you have been missing in your life. #SheIsJustALoverGirl
