🐾 MOXIE'S SCHOOL REPORT CARD 🐾 SCRUFFER LOVERS ACADEMY Where Good Dogs Become Great Dogs! Student Name: Moxie Breed: Staffy Year Level: Puppy Preschool Class: Training Superstars Teacher's Comments: A clever little girl with a big grin, a bouncy walk and a serious interest in the school's treat supply! SUBJECT: OBEDIENCE & TRAINING – A+ Well, what can I say? I'm a natural! Show me what you want, wave a tasty treat under my nose and watch this little genius get to work. My foster carer says I'm a quick learner. I say I'm a highly motivated employee who expects payment in snacks! SUBJECT: SOCIAL STUDIES – A+ (DOGGY DIVISION) I'm a social butterfly when it comes to other dogs! I love having doggy mates to play with, and I'm always happy to join in the fun. Humans are a different subject altogether. I'm still a little shy and learning that people can be pretty wonderful too. My teacher says my confidence will grow with patience and encouragement. SUBJECT: PHYSICAL EDUCATION – A+ Ball chasing? Excellent! Tug-of-war? Outstanding! Running around with my doggy friends? Top of the class! I've got the typical happy Staffy bounce, and I don't believe in doing anything half-heartedly, especially when fun is involved. SUBJECT: TOILET TRAINING – WORK IN PROGRESS Look, nobody's perfect! I'm still learning the rules, but I'm giving it a go. My teacher says consistency is important. I say surely there's a treat involved somewhere? SUBJECT: LEAD WALKING – NEEDS PRACTICE I'm still learning how to walk nicely on a lead. There are so many interesting things to see and smell that sometimes I forget I'm supposed to be concentrating. More lessons required! SUBJECT: CRATE TRAINING – A+ I've absolutely nailed this subject! I'm happy spending time in my crate and, believe it or not, I often prefer sleeping outside in my own little bedroom, even when I've got access to the house. What can I say? I like my personal space! SUBJECT: TRAVEL & EXCURSIONS – A+ Car rides? No worries! I'm a good little passenger and happy to come along for the adventure. SUBJECT: CHILDREN & OTHER ANIMALS I've spent time around younger children without any problems, although my teacher recommends a home with children over 8. Cats are still an untested subject, so I can't give myself a grade there just yet! PRINCIPAL'S FINAL COMMENTS Moxie is a happy, clever little Staffy girl who is expected to grow into a small to medium-sized dog. She gets along beautifully with other dogs, enjoys her playtime and is equally happy having some quiet time to herself. She's still building her confidence around people, but with a patient family, continued training and plenty of encouragement, this little girl has so much potential. OVERALL RESULT: STAR STUDENT WITH A VERY BRIGHT FUTURE! A FINAL WORD FROM MOXIE: I'd just like to thank my teacher, my doggy classmates and, most importantly, whoever invented treats. Now, if someone could please adopt me, I'd really like to graduate from Foster School and enrol in Forever Home Academy! MOXIE'S MOTTO: "Teach me, treat me, watch me shine!" Applications now open for Moxie's Forever Family! Report signed: Moxie – Future Valedictorian (providing there are snacks at graduation). 🐾 Moxie will need to be desexed by 6 months of age at one of Scruffer Lovers’ designated vets. Scruffer Lovers will arrange and cover the cost of her desexing.
If Moxi isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
