Moon Pie

My story

Meet Moon Pie Almost 2 years | 80 lbs | Spayed | House-trained | Ready for her person Moon Pie isn’t for everyone—and that’s exactly why she hasn’t landed yet. She’s a **big, athletic, high-drive dog** who bonds hard to her human and expects real engagement. If you want a casual pet, keep scrolling. If you want a **loyal, smart, ride-or-die companion**—keep reading. The Dog Boxer × Hanging Tree mix = brains, speed, and intensity. She loves people. Like, *thinks she’s a lap dog* loves people. She wants connection, structure, and a job—even if that job is hiking beside you every day. She’s house trained, fully vetted, and physically thriving. Her Past (and Why It Matters) Moon Pie survived being trapped under a pallet, leaving a scar on her back. That scar? Cosmetic. What matters is this: **she’s tough, resilient, and she came back stronger.** Moon Pie needs: ✔ Structure, not chaos ✔ Daily physical exercise (not a backyard lap) ✔ Mental work (training, tasks, engagement) ✔ A handler who understands high-drive dogs She has had conflict with a similarly matched female dog. For success, we are placing her as: ✔ Only dog OR ✔ With a calm, opposite-sex dog after proper intro Ideal Home You’re a fit if you: • Like dogs with *presence* • Understand energy and arousal—not just “obedience” • Want a dog that actually **does life with you** • Aren’t intimidated by a strong, smart dog Straight Truth Moon Pie is not “too much.” She’s just been waiting for someone who’s enough. Right now, she’s getting passed over by people who don’t understand her. That’s fine. We’re looking for the one who does. Location Greeneville, TN Transport options available for the right home If you’ve owned working or high-drive dogs and you’re ready for one that will **lock onto you and not look back**, apply now. If you’re unsure—this isn’t your dog.
