About Monarch May

Monarch is a sensitive soul with a heart of gold, ready to find her forever throne! She's a slow-burn sweetheart who makes every milestone a victory. Once her trust is earned, she transforms into a cuddle bug who loves to snuggle on the couch. She has a brilliant mind, a playful spirit, and just enough sass to keep you smiling. Monarch is a "heart dog" – a little reserved at first, but once she decides you're her person, she's all in. She's a gorgeous Labrador and Malinois mix, weighing around 40 pounds. Monarch is quiet and patient in her crate and a seasoned traveler. She's incredibly food motivated, making her a dream for training. She does well with confident, aloof dogs who give her space, and loves a game of chase. Monarch prefers a home without cats, where she can focus all her attention on her people and canine friends. She needs a fenced-in yard for safe exploration and would thrive in a house rather than a busy apartment. Monarch is a brilliant, affectionate, and loyal companion who needs a patient hand to help her blossom.
