About

Meet Moxie

Meet Moxie! This 3-year old mouse-grey stunner has quite a story and we are thrilled to be part of his journey! Moxie grew up in a “home” where he was crated alllll the time, yelled at, and neglected. He didn’t feel the love that so many young pups have the luxury of experiencing. We are so thankful that his foster mom intervened and saved this affectionate and loving soul from that abusive environment. Despite his difficult past, Moxie has an incredible spirit that shines through his playful nature. He is a very sweet and appropriately energetic boy! A bundle of energy who is always ready for an adventure and eager to explore the world around him. Moxie is filled with, well, moxie! He had the strength of mind to endure such adversity with courage and determination and is constantly surprising us with his resilience.  And now? Moxie has hobbies! They include snuggling in bed with his person, enjoying any and all toys (squeakers be darned!), and noshing on blueberries and apples. He is food driven and LOVES to learn! Taking treats with soft lips, of course! Also, he loves to shower…no kidding. He will sit outside the shower press his nose against the door, or try to jump right in regardless of personal boundaries. He is sweet, nervous, needy, friendly, and curious wrapped up into one loyal friend.  What do we love most about Moxie? His sweet disposition, his desire to learn new things, and his zest for living a happier life than he’s known. He is housetrained and non-destructive and rumored to have a bit of Golden Retriever mixed in. What?! And the Batman-like markings on his chest are his favorite spot for rubs. Moxie, with his courageous spirit, has overcome soooo much and is soooo ready to share his love and loyalty in a caring forever home. Because of limited history, older or no kids would be best for this brave and adaptable boy, who can’t wait to start his forever.  Moxie’s top 3 priorities: 1. Moxie needs someone who can provide a patient environment to help him continue to grow and heal and build confidence. 2. Moxie would thrive in a quiet home/neighborhood with a fenced-in yard where he would feel safe exploring (and can show off his spectacular sprinting skills).  3. Moxie would love to have a friend to play and snuggle with (accepting human and dog applications).

Adoption Process
Adoptions Crops and Flops Rescue, Inc. prides ourselves on spending extra time with our thorough adoption process to make sure our pups and their forever families are set up for a lifetime of happiness. Being a foster-home based rescue means we understand our dogs’ personalities in a home setting and what type of environment would set them up for success. We go the extra mile with our adoption process to understand our adopters’ households to make a match made in heaven. While we understand that looks can be important, we focus our efforts on finding a match based on household, lifestyle, and temperament for the best chance of a happily-ever-after. Our dog adoption specialists are invested in our adopters and are volunteering their time to help make a great forever match.
