Meet Mona

Mona is headed here from Texas to be one of a kind in her forever home and family.The Carolina dog is believed to be the only truly American dog, having traversed the ancient Bering Bridge thousands of years ago with the first humans to cross into North America. Mona is a beautiful member of the breed with her cream coat and tan ears. She is 47 pounds, making her a medium-sized young adult. Children and other dogs are her playful companions. It is not known whether Mona enjoys the company of cats.Mona is working on her house and crate training. She is making some awesome progress and will need a bit more time to perfect her skills. She has already mastered her crate training. Carolina dogs are generally intelligent, adaptable and loyal so positive and consistent reinforcement will help her become a well-behaved family member. Rescue dogs have experienced several transitions and will have accidents as they become comfortable in their new home. If crate training is planned, Mona needs a crate that is big enough for her to turn around and lie down. Crates need to be warm welcoming places and must never be used for punishment.
