About Monica

Monica is a devoted young German Shepherd Dog who gave her heart fully to her last family. She's affectionate, tuned-in, and genuinely sweet with her trusted people and other dogs. When she’s home with her pack, Monica is a model companion, loyal and calm, but she gets protective and anxious around visitors—new folks in the house simply aren’t her thing. Out in public, she’s easygoing and well-mannered. Monica’s past included children whom she loved, but after some tough experiences, it's best she joins an adult-only home where her boundaries are truly respected. Monica has never been aggressive or bitten; she just stands guard over her home. The right home will understand her territorial quirks and limit foot traffic, giving Monica the security she needs to open up fully. For those who get her, there’s a lot of love waiting. Your new best friend is just one click away.
