About Monica

Monica is a resilient soul who has faced more challenges than many dogs do in their lives. For years, she knew only the confines of a kennel, shut away from the world outside. Now, in a loving environment, she is discovering the joys of life, though she still needs a patient companion to guide her along the way. Monica and her companion, Alvin, both heartworm positive, have made significant progress and are starting to embrace the kindness of people. Daily walks have become a delight for her, and she is learning that the world can be a good place. Despite her gentle nature, she can find new noises and settings intimidating, making a serene and predictable home essential for her development. Monica thrives on routine and needs someone who appreciates small victories, whether it's a cozy nap or a confident stroll outside. Monica is ready for a home where she can continue to blossom. With her short black coat and small stature, she’s spayed, vaccinated, and house trained. She deserves to experience the love and comfort of a true home. If you're looking to make a difference in Monica’s life, consider giving her the stability and care she needs. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
