My personality

My story

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

Moxy is the cutest, sweetest, and happiest little nine or ten-year-old Maltese. She lost her home when her owner died. She only has a few teeth, so she will have to eat canned food from now on. She loves eating the Farmer's Dog food that was recently donated to us, and seems to love all canned food and deli turkey. She does the cutest twirl when you say her name or when she sees you preparing her dinner. She came into our care with what we believe to be her sister, and both pups are in a great foster home. Their foster mom has observed that in a home environment, the pups do not seem bonded so she thinks they would be happiest in separate homes. Moxy is good on a leash but seems happiest running around our fenced area and enjoys being carried and held. Moxy weighs about 6 lbs. We think she would be happy in a home with another dog or as an only dog. She loves sleeping in bed with her foster mom and loves the teenager next door who comes to visit her. Although she pees and poops outside, she will also pee inside so she will need to be crated when unsupervised. Her foster mom is working on this by giving her a treat whenever she goes to the bathroom outside.

Moxy's adoption fee is $250. If she is adopted by a senior, her adoption fee will be waived.

If you are interested in adopting Moxy, please fill out our dog adoption application here: http://medfieldshelter.com/adopt. The adoption fee for this pair is $250, or it is free if the adopter is a senior.

Every dog we place is vaccinated, wormed, treated for ticks/fleas, and spayed/neutered prior to adoption. We send each dog home with a collar and leash.

With very few exceptions, dogs are happiest and the most well-behaved when they receive daily exercise and ongoing training, so we always prefer to place our dogs with families who are willing to make a commitment to both.

All adoption meetings are by appointment only as we only have two employees. Our manager or one of our volunteers will be happy to set up an appointment for you to come meet the pets, but please fill out the adoption application first.
