Monica is about 10 to 11 months old and still growing, weighing around 35 lbs. She’s an affectionate, sweet, and gentle mixed hound who’s happiest when surrounded by people. Monica struggles with severe separation anxiety—she needs a family where someone is home most of the time or works from home. She’s friendly with other good-natured dogs and would benefit from a canine companion who can help her feel secure. Cats are unknown, and she hasn’t been around kids yet, but it’s best there are no toddlers since Monica could accidentally bump them over. She comes ready with solid training: Monica knows commands like sit, down, stay, come, and leave it, and welcomes strangers politely. She’s house trained but still has the occasional accident and prefers not to be crated—the shelter has found she does best in her own room. Monica enjoys play sessions, walks, and peanut butter Kongs, but most of all, she wants to give and receive cuddles. She’s up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and spayed. Monica is also on medication for her anxiety, so ongoing support and patience are key. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion and you’re able to be with her throughout the day, Monica is ready to join your family in Kennesaw, GA. Click apply to start the adoption process.
