About Monroe

Meet Monroe, a striking black Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix with a gentle, eager-to-please presence. At 2 years old, she's got a soft energy and truly wants to make her people happy—she just needs a little more practice. Monroe is improving on leash manners and working on her recall, so she'll thrive with someone who can reinforce her training and offer consistency. She's recently stayed accident-free with house training and just needs to learn how to signal that she needs to go outside. Monroe is still building her confidence around men but shows real progress when given patient, positive experiences. She adores chews and puzzle toys, and prefers to stay close to the people she trusts. Around other dogs her size, she's becoming more comfortable, but she doesn't do well with cats due to her prey drive. When introduced to children, Monroe settled down quickly after her initial excitement and handled herself well, so she could do great in a family setting. Monroe is smart, sensitive, and figures things out step by step. She's heartworm positive, but the rescue will cover all treatment costs for her new family. If you’ve got patience, structure, and love to give, Monroe could be an incredible companion. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
