Monika is a sweet, approximately 1-year-old female Labrador mix who weighs around 26 lbs. She was rescued in March 2024 from the streets of Saltillo, Mexico, along with her mother and siblings. Initially shy and fearful, Monika has blossomed with love and patience, transforming into a playful, funny, and very food-motivated pup! She is crate-trained and doing wonderfully with socializing with other dogs and people. Monika is a noble and submissive girl who needs a little time to build trust, but her affectionate nature shines through once she feels secure.
