My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Mona ia a sweet and sassy 6yo California girl who is the definition of happy-go-lucky. Confident and full of life, Mona is medium to high energy with a matching drive—always ready to turn any moment into the best day ever. Whether it's exploring new places or chasing her beloved ball, she’s all in.



Mona adores  her people and isn't shy about showing it! She’ll gladly give you a big ol’ hug (if allowed), but she’s also learning that leaning in for pets is a more polite way to say “I love you.” She’ll happily crawl into your lap just to be close—this girl lives for connection.



Her favorite things? Food, her ball, and the kiddie pool. She also LOVES using her nose  and would likely thrive in scent work or detection sports. Mona is crate trained, housebroken, walks well on leash, and knows her basics (Sit, Down, Heel). She’s got solid threshold manners, too.



That said, Mona can be a bit of a bull  in a china shop  and gets a little mouthy when excited—but she responds well to gentle redirection and just needs continued training to shine even brighter.



Mona would thrive in an active household with older kids and someone ready to keep her mind and body engaged. She loves having a job—cardboard recycling? She’s on it. She's even showing promise in scent work!



No cats or small children, please. She’s dog-neutral on walks and may do well with a calm canine sibling after a slow, thoughtful introduction.
