About Monarch May

Meet Monarch, a sensitive soul with a heart of gold who is ready to find her forever throne! Monarch is the definition of a slow burn sweetheart who makes every milestone feel like a total victory. Once you've earned her trust, she transforms into a total cuddle bug who loves to snuggle up on the couch and keep her favorite person company. She's got a brilliant mind, a playful spirit, and just enough sass to keep you smiling every single day! Monarch is what we like to call a heart dog. While she might be a little reserved when meeting new faces, once she decides you're her person, she is all in! Give her some time to warm up, and she becomes the most tender, 'melt in your heart' companion you've ever met. Once she's reached that sweet spot, she's all in! This golden coated girl turns into a total velcro dog, sticking by your side whether you're crushing emails in the office or unwinding on the couch. She's joyful, tender, and worth every second of the wait. We think Monarch is a gorgeous Labrador and Malinois mix! Tipping the scales at a perfect 40 pounds, she is in that "just right" size category. She's a medium sized beauty who is big enough for real deal hugs but compact enough that she won't take up the whole couch during your movie marathons!

Ideal Home

Monarch would do best in a home with a fenced-in yard where she can safely explore. She thrives with routine and would be happier in a house rather than a busy apartment. She prefers a "canines and humans only" household and is not a good fit for homes with cats.

Ongoing Health

Monarch is a healthy girl.

Training & Support

Monarch is incredibly food motivated, making her a dream for training. She is quiet and patient in her crate and is a seasoned traveler. She does well with confident, aloof dogs who give her space to sniff and say hello at her own pace.
