Moxie

Meet Moxie!

Moxie is a spirited, almost nine-year-old Korean Jindo with a quiet strength and a soft tan coat. She weighs 36 pounds and has a gentle soul. Moxie loves routine, calm surroundings, and especially enjoys head scratches. She's happy to sit beside you, nudging your hand for more affection.

Moxie enjoys playtime, particularly games of tug, and is an expert at disarming squeaky toys. She loves exploring outdoors on walks and watching for backyard critters. She is fully house-trained, can be left alone for short periods, and knows commands like "sit," "down," and "find it."

Ideal Home

Moxie needs a guardian who understands and respects her boundaries. She has a history of resource guarding, especially around food and high-value toys, and has bitten in the past when feeling pressured or uncomfortable. She would thrive in a calm household with respectful older children and adults who can honor her routines, boundaries, and need for personal space. Moxie is not compatible with other pets and would do best as the only animal in the home. Thunderstorms can unsettle her, but a calm presence helps her through them.
