About Monsoon

Monsoon is a sweet and sensitive pup who came to the Pima Animal Care Center after being found stray with a group of six other dogs. She’s working hard to build confidence and trust with people, and she’s made great strides! During walks, Monsoon tends to stay close, easily accepting treats and affection from friendly humans. Her charm shines through her shyness. She's independent when meeting other dogs but needs a patient family who can help her transition to life in a home with a secure yard. Monsoon does have a few quirks: she may guard food and valued items, so it's important for her new family to approach these situations with care. Potential adopters should first meet with a counselor to ensure a solid fit. Monsoon is available for meet-and-greets, so don’t hesitate to ask to meet her today!
