About Monica

Meet Monica! This lovely Shepherd mix is a nurturing mom who was found under an RV with her four babies, suffering from neglect and in desperate need of care. After some time in a loving foster home, she’s becoming the wonderful dog she's meant to be. Monica is about 2 years old and has a beautiful golden coat that's medium in length. She's currently a little timid, especially around new people, particularly men, but with patience, she's blossoming. She enjoys being around older kids and is learning to trust again. Monica is house trained and knows how to sit for treats, but she still needs some training on the leash as she tends to tangle up during walks. Though she's shown signs of shyness with other dogs, she lives happily with her puppies and shows promise for a future of companionship. With a little love and the right routine, we believe she'll overcome her insecurities. If you’re looking for a loyal companion ready to find her forever home, Monica would love to meet you!
