Hi everybody, I’m Mona. I am about 1 year old, I look like classic lab but I’m on the tall and thin side.  Like a supermodel!  I could stand to gain a few pounds, which will be easy because I love to eat.  Sometimes I like to look on the table or countertop to see if there is any food up there.

I got comfortable in my foster home right away. My previous home couldn’t keep me because they had too many dogs.  I have a doggie sister here but she mostly keeps to herself.  I like other dogs, especially if they like to play, but I’m told I’m a little bossy.  I’m never mean, I just think I know what they should do and where they should go.  I’m helping them live their best life!  My dad keeps an eye on me and reminds me to relax, then I can concentrate on playing. 

I love people sooooo much.  I love getting pets and snuggles and meeting new people.  In fact I get so excited I sometimes jump, which some people don’t like, so I’m trying to remember that.  I also wag my tail super hard, but I wagged it so hard that it started to bleed.  The vet showed us how to wrap it so it feels better, but they said it’s going to take a long time to heal. I was spayed the other day, and I am ready for a permanent new home.  I can’t wait!

When my family is gone or asleep I stay in my crate.  I usually go in if you just take me over there and say “kennel up”, but sometimes I hold out for a treat.  Supermodels can be smart too!

Going for walks in the neighborhood or hikes in the woods is a fun activity, which is a good thing because I have lots of energy to burn off.  I pull on the leash sometimes, especially if I see a rabbit or squirrel, so be ready!  I’m getting better though, because I used to like to chase birds too, but I learned that I can’t fly so it’s just a waste of time.  Bicycles are a little weird, so I usually back up when I see them.  I like riding in the car, and I even learned to hop up into the back by myself.

I love my foster family but I really hope I can find a forever family.  If you like to play hard and snuggle harder, I would love it if you would come and meet me.
