Moonpie is an affectionate, playful cuddlebug with a moderate energy level, a mischievous streak, and plenty of personality. She loves people, belly rubs, sunbathing, evening walks, canine friends, and working on a peanut-butter-filled Kong. Her foster family calls her their “Little Linebacker” because her enthusiastic greetings can include a full-speed tackle.

Ideal Home

Moonpie would do best as the only dog or with a laid-back canine companion who is comfortable sharing attention. She needs a cat-free home because she will chase cats. She has done well with teenage children and visiting children ages 10 and 12. Her family should be prepared to continue working on appropriate play, boundaries, and alone-time management.

Ongoing Health

Moonpie is spayed and vaccinated. No medical conditions or health-test results are reported. She loves food and needs a consistent feeding routine. Car rides are generally good, though she may need encouragement to enter the vehicle and can experience motion sickness in the back seat.

Training & Support

Moonpie is housebroken and lets her family know she needs to go outside by heading to the door. She is a pretty good leash walker and is not much of a puller, though she enjoys stopping to investigate scents. She is crate trained to an extent and has had no accidents while kenneled. Because she can become destructive when left alone and has escaped from traditional wire crates, she needs a heavy-duty kennel when unattended.

She has made significant progress with treat-related resource guarding and can now sit patiently while waiting her turn.
