Moxie

If you’re looking for the total package, Moxie might just be your girl. This super sweet, absolutely adorable lady has a heart as big as her 70-pound frame, and she will happily try to fit that entire frame right into your lap just to be close to you. <br/><br/>Moxie is the perfect mix of playful and easygoing. She loves her stuffies and will toss them around, roll on them, and invite you to join in on the fun, but she’s just as happy entertaining herself if you’re busy. Her silly, joyful personality shines when she’s playing, and it’s impossible not to smile watching her do her thing. She’s polite, affectionate, and has that wonderful “just right” medium energy. <br/><br/>On a sleepover with a volunteer, Moxie also showed some solid manners. She seemed comfortable in the house and made herself at home, exploring but still listening well to her host. She had no accidents and went right to the door to indicate she needed to do her business. She is helpful in the kitchen, but didn't beg. Ready for a ride? She hops right in the car and makes a polite passenger, too. As a guest, she was summed up as a "delight."<br/><br/>Moxie did test positive for heartworm when she arrived, but she’s not letting that slow her down one bit. But the good news is that heartworm is treatable, and her treatment will be covered thanks to Friends of City Dogs Cleveland. She’ll just need a calm, loving home where she can take it easy while she heals—then she’ll be right back to her goofy, stuffy-loving antics.<br/><br/>If you’re ready for a cuddly, silly, lovable best friend, Moxie is ready for you. Moxie is around 3 years old.

You must schedule a meet with a dog in advance - we are not currently accepting walk-ins. Please look online first to see if there are any dogs you think would be a good fit for your home before scheduling a meet. To get the process started, visit www.tinyurl.com/meetacitydog and fill out the form. One of our adoption counselors will get in touch to schedule and confirm your meet! At the kennel, an adoption counselor will introduce you and your family to the adoptable dogs, share information we know about them, and discuss our suggested ways for successfully integrating a new dog into your home. You are welcome to meet multiple dogs. If the dog you adopt is already fixed, he or she may leave with you that day - otherwise, the dog can go home after receiving the spay or neuter surgery.)<br/><br/>About Our Dogs: All available dogs have gone through a behavioral and medical assessment. This assessment is a snapshot of who the dog is at that given time. We cannot make any guarantees with regard to behavior, temperament or health of any City Dog once they are in the home. Most of our dogs are picked up as strays, so we do not know what kind of home environment they were living in (i.e. with kids, other dogs or other cats), nor do we know if most of them are house trained. Everything we know about them is based on volunteer and staff observations. We do have some dogs in foster homes, where they will have more information about how the dog is in a home environment. It is very hard to tell with certainty whether or not a dog will be good with kids, cats or another dog. If you have kids in the home or another dog, we do require that they be present for a meet and greet with the dog you are considering for adoption.<br/><br/>Heath/Vaccinations: Dogs that are adopted directly from the kennel need to go to your personal vet within two weeks of leaving the kennel. All dogs receive their DAPPL, Rabies, and Bordatella vaccines, though you may be required to get follow up boosters. All dogs come microchipped and with a Cuyahoga County license.
