About Monkey

Monkey is a three-year-old pittie mix with a knack for making any space feel like home. She weighs in at 45 pounds and comes with plenty of quirky charm, from scattering her toys everywhere to sprawling on the back of the couch. Monkey is house and crate trained, knows basic commands like sit and shake, and walks well on a leash—though she can get excited and pull when she spots another dog. She’s improving with reminders. Privacy isn’t in her vocabulary; expect her to follow you from room to room with plenty of affection to spare. Monkey doesn’t get along with other dogs, but she loves children and is eager to be near her humans, whether it’s going for a walk, chilling on the couch, or curling up in bed. She’s always up for cuddles and will gladly keep you company day or night. Monkey’s foster thinks her habits—like watching dog TV and collecting toys—are endearing. She’s playful, smart, and enjoys a good nature walk as much as laying low. Ready to see if Monkey is the match you’ve been waiting for? Let’s meet and find out. Start your journey together!
