Meet Moxie!

Say hello to Moxie, a sweet six-year-old with a gentle heart and a touch of shy charm. She came to us after her owner could no longer care for her and has been taking baby steps toward trust since arriving from a large-scale hoarding situation in the summer of 2024. Once she warms up, Moxie loves attention—and she’s always up for a little play, especially with a shoelace.

She’s currently in need of a dental procedure, so she’ll be part of our foster-to-adopt program while we care for her. Moxie is looking for a patient, loving home where she can settle in at her own pace.

Could your lap be her new favorite spot? Please fill out an application: https://ow.ly/zisO50VVXlW. All of our animals are altered, microchipped and up to date on all vaccines before being made available for adoption.

Please read our adoption guidelines and start your application before coming to meet one of our animals in person. A typical adoption can take up to an hour. Please visit at least one hour before closing if you plan to adopt that day.
