Hi! I’m Monica, and I’m a 16 pound sweetheart who is looking for a very special place to call home.

At ten years young, I’m a gentle lady who believes that the best friendships are the ones that grow slowly and steadily. I might be a little bit of a wallflower, but I promise there is a devoted companion inside me just waiting for the right person to find me.

Here is the "tail" on me:

• A Dog’s Confidante: I really enjoy the company of other dogs! I’m very friendly with my canine peers, and having a furry brother or sister around helps me feel much more secure and brave.

• The Scenic Route to Trust: I’m quite shy when it comes to people, and it might take me a long time to fully warm up to my new human friends. I’m looking for a quiet home where I can move at my own pace without any pressure.

• Loyalty for the Determined: I need a patient and determined owner who won’t give up on me. It might be a slow start, but once I feel safe in my environment, I will reward your kindness with a lifetime of loyalty and gentle affection.

I’m a small girl with a quiet nature, looking for a sanctuary where I can finally let my guard down. If you have a calm household and a heart full of patience, I’d love to be your new best friend—one small step at a time.

Could you be the one to help me find my confidence? I’m ready to find my forever security!
