BREED: Mixed breed
SEX: female
COLOR: tan
AGE: 7 months as of Sept 2026
WEIGHT: 12 lbs as of Sept 22, 2026
SOME COOL INFORMATION ABOUT ME:
Meet Moxie!
Moxie is a 7-month-old, 12-pound girl who is still figuring out just how big and wonderful the world can be.
Read more about Moxie
Right now, Moxie is a very timid puppy. New people, new situations, and unfamiliar things can make her unsure, so we’re spending time helping her build confidence and learn that she doesn’t have to be afraid.
She’s good with other dogs, and having canine friends around gives her opportunities to play, learn, and watch how the more confident dogs navigate the world.
Because Moxie is still young and we’re still getting to know her, there’s plenty we haven’t discovered yet. Her personality is still unfolding, and we suspect there’s a lot more puppy hiding underneath that cautious exterior.
What Moxie needs most is someone who understands that confidence isn’t something you can rush. A patient family willing to encourage her, celebrate the little victories, and give her the time she needs could make an enormous difference in her life.
We are only considering homes in our local area - 1 hour or less from Arcadia FL. If you have adopted from us before and are slightly out of that area, please contact us directly and we can discuss it. Moxie still needs to be spayed. All appointments for spay/neuter surgery will be done at our vet's office in Arcadia so you must be willing to bring him to his appointment in order to be considered for adoption.

I am only 11 months old and I have the happiest personality. However, I did not have a great first few months. I had hot water dumped on me that caused third degree burns on my back and sides that is healed now but the hair will probably never grow back. I am great with other dogs and good with cats. I love to sleep in the big bed if you help me up there.

Adopting a puppy in Port St. Lucie
Puppies usually go to their new homes from about eight weeks old, once they're weaned and have had their first vaccinations. Most rescues spay or neuter them before adoption, or include it in the fee.
Ask the rescue how big the puppy is expected to grow and which breeds they think are in the mix, so you can plan for the dog they'll become.
Puppies need a lot of your time: house-training, a few minutes of training every day, several small meals, and someone home often enough to let them out. A puppy class is a good way to start.
