Monica is a small, senior Jack Russell Terrier/Schnauzer mix whose gray-blue coat and soft eyes hint at her gentle disposition. At around 16 pounds, she prefers a quiet home where calmness and patience rule the day. She gets along easily with other dogs, finding comfort among canine companions, but she's very shy with people and will need time and a gentle hand to help her feel safe. Monica's perfect adopter is someone who genuinely respects her boundaries—a steady presence who lets her come out of her shell at her own pace. As a July 4th baby, she's a Cancer sun sign, which shines through in her loyalty once she's settled. Monica has been spayed and is up to date on her vaccinations. She does best in an environment that feels secure and predictable, especially given her wariness towards humans. This is a dog who will reward patience with quiet loyalty and gratitude over time.
