My story

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

Monologue is a smart, affectionate, and playful 1-year-old pup. His DNA results show he is a unique mix of Great Pyrenees, Catahoula Leopard Dog, and Labrador Retriever. He’s athletic, expressive (read vocal!), and full of personality—and he absolutely adores all humans.



He is potty trained and crate trained. He will happily go into his crate with a treat and sleeps through the night. Because he’s a talented jumper/climber and curious about putting things in his mouth, a secure crate is important when no one is home. He is leash trained, loves walks, and being outside (he would thrive with a fenced-in yard). 



Monologue enjoys wrestling and energetic play with dogs that match his energy—especially smaller or more submissive dogs. He is loving his foster family's resident dog.



He does best with clear boundaries around resources:





  • Needs to be fed separately from other dogs (he resource guards food)




  • Shares water bowls just fine




  • Loves toys and may try to take another dog’s toy (keep-away is one of his favorite games)




  • Can be selective with dogs, particularly larger males





Ideal Home  --  Monologue would thrive in:





  • A home without small children (he’s a big boy and quite strong and playful,). Our 10 year old is fine with his strength.




  • An active adopter who can provide multiple walks or play sessions daily




  • A household that values structure, enrichment, and consistency





Why You’ll Love Him





  • Very people-oriented and affectionate




  • Smart, athletic, and engaging




  • Fully potty and crate trained




  • Sleeps through the night




  • Big personality with lots of love to give





Monologue is looking for a home that understands young, energetic working-breed mixes and is ready to give him the structure and outlets he needs. In return, he’ll be a loyal, fun-loving companion who brings energy and affection into your life.



Adoption Day: January 24th at PetSmart Tysons Corner from 10:00–11:00 AM, an approved adopter must be present to adopt.



Pets may be adopted prior to this date with an approved adopter.



Some pups may stick around until 11:00 AM for the public event—check our Facebook page closer to the date to see if this pup will be attending the extra fun!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adoption information and applications can be found here: https://www.wtarescue.com/adoption-process-2

If you are chosen to adopt after the Meet & Greet process (https://www.wtarescue.com/meet-and-greets), be aware that all of our pets stay in foster care for a minimum of 3 weeks, and adoption finalization and Transfer Day will take place at the end of that foster period.

What are the requirements to adopt? There are no situational requirements other than that your current pet/pets need to be up-to-date on their vaccinations, as well as spay/neutered. This demonstrates responsible pet ownership.
Adopters must submit proof of visit with a veterinarian within 14 days of adoption.
If an adopted puppy is under 4 months of age, you must be in a situation where the puppy is not left unattended for >5 hours at a time.

Do you require home visits? No. Potential adopters are screened by their application, interviews by the foster, and the requirement of a Veterinary visit within 14 days. If you do not submit proof of a veterinary health visit within 14 days of adoption, your ownership of the animal is forfeited back to Wolf Trap Animal Rescue.

How can I see pictures of the puppies available? You can view them on our website at https://www.wtarescue.com/adopt-a-dog or https://www.wtarescue.com/adopt-a-cat.

How much is the adoption fee? The current adoption fee for puppies (under 2 years old) is $525. For adult dogs (over 2 years old), the fee is $485. The adoption fee for cats/kittens is $225. Adoption fees are payable by credit card only. This fee covers the cost of spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchip, deworming, flea/tick control, transport, food, and foster supplies - and it includes 30 days of pet insurance upon immediate activation.

More about this rescue

Wolf Trap Animal Rescue (WTAR) focuses efforts on rescuing high-risk animals from euthanasia, neglect, and abuse. These animals primarily come from Mississippi, where young animals are euthanized by the hundreds each and every day due to overpopulation. Lack of spay-neuter laws and large sections of rural land allow for free-roaming animals to reproduce, leading to a surplus of neglected, homeless, and starving puppies and kittens. These animals are then found and brought to local animal shelters, which simply cannot provide the care or homes these pets need in order to survive. Ultimately, they get euthanized for space or for illnesses contracted at the shelter.

There simply are not enough people to adopt.

We rescue these animals by operating a life-saving transport, foster, and adoption program. WTAR finds the pets who need us the most by employing a full-time transport coordinator on the ground in Mississippi (WTAR South), with the goal of working directly with these shelters and communities to be a resource when they cannot accept any more animals or find enough homes. These transports operate nearly weekly, relieving the shelters and communities from overcrowding and needless euthanasia. Redirecting the intake of young, at-risk animals from the shelter to WTAR allows additional time and resources to be spent on the older, less adoptable residents of the shelter that would otherwise be euthanized for space. Rescued animals are then scheduled and placed on emergency transport with WTAR to Northern Virginia. Upon arrival, they undergo an extensive veterinary intake evaluation and then are placed in foster homes until they find their forever homes through private Meet & Greets.
