The rescue’s notes on Monica

LOOKING FOR A SPECIAL FAMILY: Approx. 1 year old / Approx. 40 lbs. Hi, my name is Monica! I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control. The volunteers are taking great care of me as I wait for my new family to find me. I'm ready to meet them and have my 'happily ever after' in a loving home. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I've met and made friends with many dogs at Mostly Mutts and think that another good-natured dog in my new home could really help with the separation anxiety/loneliness that I'm having, so if you have a dog like this, let's meet! / Cats unknown. / I met two nice boys around 6 years old at Mostly Mutts and did some jumping when they ran (in a playful, non-aggressive way) so kids 15+ may be a good match for me. Let's meet! • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I'm a very friendly, sweet and gentle girl whose main job in life is to love you as much as possible and to spend all our time together. I'm a happy dog when I'm with people, but I do have severe separation anxiety. I'll need a family that has someone who is home most of the time (a stay-at-home or work-from-home family member) so I can have a constant and loyal companion! I need a patient family that will help me learn that my family is coming back. A Mostly Mutts trainer will assist you with this. / My energy level is 5-7. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program and have mastered the 'sit', 'down', 'stay', 'come', 'place', 'drop it', and 'leave it' commands and I accept friendly strangers without jumping on them. Let's continue my training with the free lifetime training classes that Mostly Mutts offers for all their adopted dogs! / I am NOT a fan of the crate and should not use a metal crate due to biting the bars. At Mostly Mutts, I'm in a single room without a crate, ask for more details about this. / I'm having accidents on the shelter schedule, so please continue to be consistent with me on a good schedule, so I can master my potty skills. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I'm happiest when I am with my people and not missing out on any fun or companionship. I collect all the cuddles and love hugs! I enjoy peanut butter Kongs and I've got lots of young dog energy, so I look forward to great play sessions and walks in my new home. / Other than the crate and being alone, I can't think of any dislikes, though like all dogs, I'm sure I wouldn't like it if I didn't get enough love, attention, exercise, and training. • MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I'm also on several medications for separation anxiety, so let's talk about this. I am looking for a wonderful home with a family that has a family member at home most of the time. My adoption fee is $299.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.
