My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Have you ever watched dogs at events like agility, disc, dock diving, parkour, rally obedience and thought you'd love to have a dog like that? Dogs who can do sports like this turn into once-in-a-lifetime dogs, and Moxie is that dog for someone. She needs someone willing to work only a quarter as hard as she does, but someone who will keep her active and engaged in learning new and exciting things.

She is a little dog selective, especially when on leash but once she's had a proper introduction interactions have gone well. Moxie is a go-getter, but not all of the time. The right home for Moxie would be without small children or cats and would have dogs that are a good fit for her and active adults who understand great dogs always take a little work and training.

Meet her needs and she will also gladly be your couch and snuggle buddy. She is young, around 1.5 years, 40lbs and our best guess is a mix of shepherd and cattle dog.

We have groups we can put you in contact with to get started with a dog sport for her, we have the perfect dog for these sports, and all we need is the right human for her. If that may be you please text or call The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387. Moxie is in the Kansas City metro, but we will happily transport her to the right home.

More about this rescue

Since 1999, The Pet Connection has found homes for more than 7,000 animals and rehabilitated hundreds of dogs and cats with aggression, fear and anxiety issues. We have spayed or neutered over 8,000 dogs and cats in our own free and low-cost clinics since 2002 and assisted another 5,800 pets with low-cost services since 2006. The Pet Connection was founded in 1999 in Mission, Kansas, to offer shelter for homeless pets, adoptions and training. We were one of the first no-kill advocacy groups in the Kansas City metro area and the first cage-free facility in Johnson County to offer education about available spay and neuter programs. In 2006, The Pet Connection relocated to a facility in Mission that enabled all dogs and cats to have their own rooms while awaiting adoptive homes or being rehabilitated due to behaviors that hindered adoption prospects. The Pet Connection currently focuses on pet adoptions, dog and cat training, aggressive dog rehabilitation, and classes for pet owners. We were the first in this area to offer free training/behavior classes to adopters.

​The Pet Connection trainers and behavior members use a team approach in order to implement the ideas that have the highest success rate. Our five behavioral trainers working out of the Kansas City metro have a variety of backgrounds applicable to dog training and behavior. The Pet Connection implements positive reinforcement training methods, where the dog learns to face the trigger, but to respond appropriately. Read about our experienced trainers under “Meet the Team" on our website at www.thepetconnection.net. ​

The Pet Connection has always been committed to being no-kill advocates. We have been involved in many projects with local and national organizations to help Kansas City progress in how homeless pets are cared for and to improve the services that they receive. Our organization is a 501c3 charity in the state of Kansas, and has always provided thousands of dollars worth of supplies, including cat litter, food, toys, beds and dog houses, to other rescues and shelters.
