Story
Monica is a highly intelligent, gentle, quiet, quick to learn, dog. She loves being near her people, whether that be curled up in a dog bed watching TV with us, lying on the floor near the kitchen while dinner is cooked, or sitting outside in the sunshine watching the squirrels and birds while her foster mom drinks her coffee. Monica loves being in nature, smelling the air and enjoying the sunshine. She walks very well on a leash and loves stopping to smell all the great smells. She enjoys chin scratches, ear rubs, and relaxing together. Monica is extremely responsive, wanting to please, and changes her behavior when requested with a simple gentle verbal command. She loves to snuggle in blankets with her favorite stuffed toys. When we venture out to pet stores or on walks, she gets along with everyone that she meets, dog and human alike. She is doing great with learning that cats can be friends, and would likely do well in a home with cats, with some gentle training and slow introduction. Monica came to her foster’s home with extreme anxiety but has been making HUGE progress toward feeling safe and doing well in her crate. She now sleeps all night in her crate with no problems, and has a tail wag and a kiss for her foster mom in the mornings. Monica really enjoys being with “her” people, and would love to be in a home with a stay-at-home parent or someone who works from home. She has also done great accompanying her foster family on adventures such as looking for a Christmas tree or going shopping. Note: Monica is still learning to be safe in the world again, after being in a shelter with her puppies. She may have anxiety around separation and being in her cage / crate as she transitions to her forever family, so adopters that will be understanding and supportive are essential. (Her foster mom has learned ways that soothe her and help ease her anxiety and would love to share those with her forever family.)
