Mona

About Mona

Mona is a six year old smallish crossbreed. 8 years old. Passed cat and bird testing. Needs resident dog. Adult home required Mona and eleven other puppies and two mum dogs were rescued from the streets of Romania. They were very scared and traumatised and Mona was sent to a home in Scotland. Despite being a lovely family they were not equipped to deal with such a traumatised dog and we heard of her plight 3 summers ago when we were told that nobody had even been able to get her on a lead to leave the house and she’d spent the best part of five years hiding under the bed. We drove from Norfolk to Scotland and back to collect her and then began the journey of her rehabilitation. Mona has done very well since that time but now needs a more “Normal” one to one environment to continue to progress. She will need a very experienced adopter(s) with no children in the home. She wouldn’t cope with city life and therefore needs a rural home or somewhere tranquil without a lot of traffic. Mona needs another dog or dogs as permanent residents as she would not cope with being an only dog. Mona will need a patient and understanding owner. She actually enjoys a fuss on her own terms and can be very affectionate once she knows you well. She needs to continue to grow in confidence on walks and doesn’t like anybody to walk behind her. She has lived very amicably with cats (and parrots).
