Hi everyone 😂

We haven’t hosted a Birthday Party in a while and figured it would be fun to do so this year. I adopted Ranger on February 22, 2024 so we figured we would celebrate his big 13 on his adoption day since we don’t know his Birthday.

The event will be southern themed 😂 so bring your cowboy hats and BBQ appetites.

We will provide food and drinks and the event will take place at our Stouffville Center. It will be a NO DOG event, but I’m open to exceptions. Ranger will be there all day. It is on February 22nd at 7pm.

Write “Southern” in the comments below and we will send you and invite 👇

Hi everyone,

Due to a busy and stressful year, I had to postpone our 2024 Moxie’s run. Our new, rescheduled run date is Sunday April 27th 2025 at 9am. It would really mean the world to us if you can make this event.
As some of you may know, my Beagle Moxie passed away on August 2, 2019. It was the most heartbreaking moment of my entire life. I was one of those people who said “She’s almost 10 years old and acts like a puppy. I think she’s going to live until 17!” This was all immediately taken away from me when she had a serious seizure for the first time ever on January 1, 2019. When I took her in for a scan, they told me she not only had a Brain Tumour, but a Thyroid Tumour as well. Her health quickly declined and I lost her a few months after her diagnosis. She passed away 2 days after her 10th birthday.
Since her passing, we wanted to host an event to raise awareness and funding for Canine Cancer. The proceeds would go towards families who are struggling with financing treatment for their dogs, and to advance research. We wanted to launch this in 2020, but couldn’t due to the Pandemic. We had our first run in 2023 and we raised a little over $15,000.
The Moxie Run For Canine Cancer will be a 5k Run/Walk event. We will have limited spots available for people who want to include their dogs in the event, and the dogs will have to pass a temperament evaluation if we have never met them. We have a limited number of dog and human running spots so please register as soon as you can.
We have some big goals for this event and really hope you can help us achieve them. Currently, we are looking for Sponsors and Vendors for the event. The event will take place at Bruce’s Mill in Stouffville.

Tickets are currently on a HUGE early bird sale so please grab them on the website before the end of December.

Have you tried any of these? Do you have any special ways you like to build confidence? Please don’t say you make them jump on things 😂. That’s not confidence that’s just jumping
