About Monsoon

Monsoon is a sweet girl who initially came to PACC as a stray, alongside six other dogs. This 3-year-old German Shepherd mix has made remarkable strides in gaining confidence and trusting people. A shelter volunteer noted that Monsoon can be shy but takes treats gently and enjoys companionship. When out on walks, she stays close and is affectionate, relishing moments of love and attention. Having shown some independence in playgroup settings, Monsoon needs a patient family ready to guide her through home life. She will thrive in a secure environment, so a safe yard is essential for her wellbeing. While she has made great progress, potential adopters should understand her need for a gradual adjustment period. If you think you could be her perfect match, ask to meet Monsoon today! Remember, Monsoon may require introductions to other pets if you have any, and it's important to have a meet-and-greet with a counselor at PACC before adopting.
