About Mona

Mona has been waiting in Willis, TX since February, and she’s eager to meet her person. This lovable Bull Terrier/Heeler mix is estimated to be around 3–4 years old and is packed with affection. She adores water—if there’s a pool or hose around, she’s in heaven. Mona is high-spirited and happiest with plenty of space, ideally a big backyard where she can sprint around. She’s a total lap dog when it’s time to relax and sticks close to her favorite people, but she also knows how to settle in for solo time and will find her spot on the couch when you’re out. Mona needs to be the only dog in the home and doesn’t get along with cats. If you want a playful, loyal companion who will shower you with love and keep you company, Mona could be a perfect fit.
