PET OF THE WEEK
Moxi is a gem waiting to be mined
This lovely lady has got “moxi” – energy, courage, and skills. If you are ready for an intelligent and loyal dog for your family, then you are ready for Moxi. She is a beautiful 3-year-old cattle dog mix that weighs in at 50 pounds. Moxi is a smart girl that listens well and is eager to please. Cattle dogs are a herding dog and need lots of exercise and mental stimulation. Moxi loves to play ball and is showing interest in the agility equipment, which would be great for her to learn. Moxi has a friendly personality and enjoys the company of other dogs. A fenced yard would be required by Moxi’s new owners and due to her herding instinct, any children in the family should be older. Moxi would love for you to read up on the cattle dog breed, see how trainable and loyal her breed is then come and meet her at Pet Refuge. You’ll want to be the family to bring this gem home with you.
