Monroe

My story

Monroe is just 1 year old… a baby who should be learning about love, play, and safety — not losing her home and facing an uncertain future. This 43-pound, petite, squishy little girl was owner-surrendered on 11/17/25. She came in confused, but still so full of love for every person who approaches her. Monroe is friendly with all people, accepting of handling, takes treats gently, and even sits when asked. She’s wiggly, playful, and has that adorable mini-Sharpei look that makes your heart melt Her former home reported she does not do well with other dogs, and had multiple incidents with the dogs she lived with. Because of this, Monroe may need to be the ONLY dog in her next home — something many rescues struggle to placeBut should this sweet, loving baby lose her life because she doesn’t want to share her home with o She’s unpredictable with dogs, but with people? She is a total loveA dog who leans in for affection. A dog who wants connection. A dog who needs structure, training and stability At the shelter, she’s been energetic, happy, and easy to handle. She goes in and out of the kennel with no issues, accepts full handling, and lights up for attention. Dog tests are pending, but she’s showing staff what a GOOD girl she is with humans. Monroe deserves a real chance — a safe place to be an only dog, a foster willing to help her decompress, a rescue who sees the sweet young soul behind the behavior notes. ##2608295##
