Moxie is having an increasingly hard time in her kennel. We are looking for a foster that can pick her up and give her a break from the shelter environment.
Dogs: Yes but needs resource guarding managament
Cats : Has successfully lived with cats, but may also chase/pester them.
Children: Has successfully lived with children. Would suggest children 6+ due to her size/playstyle
Other: Crate trained & Potty trained per previous owner. Cuddle bug that loves belly rubs.

Cats : Has successfully lived with cats
Children: Has successfully lived with children.
Other: Potty trained per previous owner.

She is currently up for adoption, and has been here for a month.
Dogs: Meet & Greet recommended for resident dogs. May resource guard food bowl. Would need to be fed separated from other animals and monitored with high value items.
Would just entirely leave her alone while she eats or has treats/bones/etc.
Cats: May chase/pester cats. Would recommend keeping separate with slow intro if necessary.
Kids: 5+ due to sleep startle & high energy play style.
Other: Nola has a sleep startle response. Nola should not be woken upby petting or stroking her. You can stomp your feet, clap, say her name, or squeak a to wake her if needed.
Potty trained per original finder (she was found as a stray)

Dog pictured is just an example and not available for foster.
Below are a few pictures of dogs on their shelter breaks. All of these animals were very stressed, or otherwise not doing well, in the shelter environment. After just a quick break, you can see how much more relaxed and happy they are.
