About Mona

This vibrant Black Labrador Retriever arrived at HSCC after being found as a stray, having navigated a tough journey filled with challenges.

Once Mona feels comfortable, the affection she shares is truly special. She enjoys being by your side for gentle pets and loves a good outdoor adventure, whether it’s a scenic run or just soaking up the sun while you tend to your emails.
