Monika is a sweet 1-year-old female Labrador mix who weighs approximately 26 lbs. She was rescued in March 2024 from the streets of Saltillo, Mexico, along with her mother and siblings. Monika and her littermates were initially very fearful and hid from humans, but with patience, love, and affection, they have learned to trust and are now playful, funny, and very food-motivated! Monika is a noble and submissive girl who is a little shy, reserved, and cautious. She needs a patient and loving home to help her fully blossom and trust her new family.

Training & Support

They invest heavily in the physical and emotional rehabilitation of their rescued pets and need adopters to understand this aspect of rescue.
