Moxie Maremma Sheepdog & Shepherd Mix Richfield, WI

Introducing Moxie .. a 1 year old 58 pound German Shepard/Maremma/Anatolian Shepard pup who is looking for her forever home.

Moxie is very playful and hasn't met a toy she doesn't like and enjoys exploring the yard. She loves treats and belly rubs. She gets along great with her litter mates and follows the cues of the older resident dogs. Older children are preferred due to her size. She is curious about cats but respects their 'correction'. She is being exposed to farm animals such as chickens and goats and has shown no aggression. She loves spending time outdoors, either independently or with her people.

Moxie is working on leash training and housebreaking skills. She is super smart and food motivated. She is using a doggie door regularly. She will need a home with a fenced yard because these breeds are known to take a stroll and they do enjoy patrolling their 'area'.

Moxie is queen bee with her siblings but submissive to the resident dogs (who are smaller). She loves to play and explore the outdoors. She takes her job as security guard seriously and most often can be found in the fenced yard just keeping watch over everything. When she takes a break from her patrol, she prefers to relax on the couch. Favorite treats are cheese, peanut butter and ice cubes in no particular order.

Moxie is super sweet and a little more reserved than her littermates but it doesn't take long for her to warm up to people and beg for belly rubs. She is playful but will also chill and just observe.

Moxie is being fostered in the Wausau, WI with her sisters Ava and Marley. Her adoption donation is $375. She has had her first set of puppy shots, been de-wormed and micro-chipped and had a round of Simparica and Interceptor. Upon proof of spay her adopter will receive a refund of $150.

Please note: the Mareema and Anatolian Shepherd breeds are livestock guardian dogs and they will be big, possibly 85 pounds as an adult. These breeds need room to explore and exercise both mentally and physically. They are loyal but can be aloof due to their guarding instincts. Early training and socialization is crucial as they tend to not be accepting of strangers as they get older. These guardian behaviors tend to develop around age 2. Highly recommend doing research before adopting.
