Story
Dear Future Family,My name is Monroe!! If you’re looking for a gentle, loyal best friend, I just might be your guy. I’m an 80-pound sweetheart from Alabama with a soft heart and an even softer spot for snuggles.My favorite things in life are pretty simple: curling up on the couch with my humans, snuggling in bed, belly scratches in the morning, car rides, ground chicken (seriously… the way to my heart), and hearing that I’m a “good boy.” I love other dogs, and more than anything, I love simply being with my people. Wherever you go, I’ll happily follow — my foster mom says I’m her shadow.I’m a calm, low-key kind of guy. I’m not looking to run marathons — I’d much rather spend the day snoozing nearby while you work, relaxing on the couch, or keeping you company around the house. When my humans come home from work, it’s truly the best part of my day!!I’m fully house-trained and very well-behaved in the home. At night, I sleep nicely in my crate with no issues as long as I can see my humans nearby. But if you let me, I’d be very happy snuggling up in bed with you instead — that’s kind of my dream!One thing I’ve learned about myself is that I actually do much better left out when you’re away instead of being crated. Give me a comfy couch, turn on some cartoons, and I’ll happily nap the day away until you come home.I can be shy and fearful with strangers, especially men, and I do best with slow introductions and patient people who understand that trust takes time for me. Right now, I’m learning that not all strangers are scary, that my humans always come back, and that men can be safe too. Once I feel secure, though, my sweet personality shines through beautifully.At the end of the day, I’m really just a loving boy who wants to feel safe, spend time with his people, and stay close to the ones he loves. I’m easy to please — all I really want is kindness, patience, a cozy place to nap, and someone to love.If you’re willing to go slow with me at first, I promise I’ll give you the most loyal heart in return.Love,MonroeMonroe was heartworm positive and has completed his treatment. He received a preliminary negative result on a microfilaria test but is awaiting a negative test result to a heartworm test 9 months after treatment per our vets recommendations. He no longer needs to be on exercise restrictions. Monroe will need continued use of monthly heartworm prevention. These medical needs will be the responsibility of the adopter.--------------------------------------------All our Warrior Dogs will have all age appropriate medical care and vaccines, a microchip, and spayed/neutered if the dog is over 6 months of age at the time of adoption.
