Weight: 40 pounds
Breed: Feist Cattle Dog Mix
Spayed (Fixed): Yes
Vaccines: Up to Date

Healthy & Adoption-Ready
Personality, Breed Info & Expectations
Monica is a wonderful adult dog with a loving personality, loyal nature, and the perfect balance of energy and companionship. At 3 years old, she has moved beyond the puppy stage but still enjoys an active lifestyle and spending time with her people.
She is affectionate, intelligent, and enjoys being part of the family. Whether she's joining you for a walk, exploring the outdoors, or relaxing at home after a busy day, Monica thrives on companionship and forming strong bonds with her humans.
As a Feist Cattle Dog Mix, Monica is likely to be intelligent, alert, athletic, and eager to engage with her surroundings. Feist-type dogs are known for their loyalty, adaptability, and enthusiasm for life. They often enjoy staying active and thrive when given opportunities for both physical exercise and mental enrichment.
Monica would thrive in a home prepared for:
Daily walks and exercise
Continued training and guidance
Mental stimulation and enrichment
Positive socialization experiences
Structure, consistency, and routine
A lifelong commitment to her emotional and physical well-being
Her age makes her an excellent companion for adopters looking for a dog who has matured beyond the puppy phase while still having plenty of life, energy, and adventure ahead of her.
Training, Adjustment & What to Expect
Many rescue dogs come from uncertain beginnings and may not have had structure, socialization, or training before arriving at rescue.
Because of this, most rescue dogs arrive with only basic training at best, and some may have had no formal training at all. The rescue environment itself also does not always allow for extensive one-on-one training. While we work hard to provide safety, structure, socialization, and basic guidance, adopters should expect to continue training and support after adoption.
Like all rescue dogs, Monica may need time to adjust to a new home, routine, and environment. Patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement will help her settle in and become the best version of herself.
Monica will benefit from:
Positive reinforcement training
Daily structure and routine
Continued socialization and exposure
Exercise and mental stimulation
Patience, consistency, and supervision
Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule:
3 days to decompress
3 weeks to learn your routine
3 months to fully feel at home
With patience, guidance, and commitment, dogs like Monica blossom into deeply loyal lifelong companions.
Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care
Owning a dog is a lifelong commitment that includes training, daily exercise, companionship, routine veterinary care, financial responsibility, and emotional commitment throughout every stage of life.
Monica will need:
Daily walks, exercise, and interaction
Continued training and guidance
Routine veterinary care and wellness exams
Preventative care including flea, tick, and heartworm prevention
Proper nutrition and weight management
Mental stimulation and enrichment
A safe, stable, indoor living environment
Consistent veterinary care, emotional stability, proper nutrition, and daily companionship are all essential to helping Monica thrive in her future home.
Monica is an indoor family dog and is not to be chained or left outside.
