DESCRIPTION
Dear Future Family,
My name is Monroe! I'm an 80-pound sweetheart from Alabama looking for the people I can call my own. I'm still getting used to this new life, but I've already discovered that cozy beds, couches, and being near my people are some of my favorite things!
I can be shy and a little fearful at first, especially in new situations, but if you give me patience and kindness, I warm up beautifully. Once I trust you, I love deeply and loyally! My foster mom says I'm her shadow because I always want to be close by. People are truly my favorite thing.
I'm a pretty calm, low-key guy -- more cuddle companion than marathoner. I sleep nicely in my crate at night as long as I know my people are nearby, and I'm fully house trained. Good boy, right?!
I'm also learning all about walks, and it turns out I'm very good at them. I walk right at your side without pulling and seem happiest just being together. I like other dogs, too.
I may not be the kind of dog who rushes up to everyone right away, but if you choose me, I promise you'll gain a loyal best friend with so much love to give. Plus, aren't I handsome?
I'm ready for my forever home! Let's meet and see if we are a perfect match.
Love,
Monroe
Monroe is Heartworm positive and is waiting for a negative test result which can take 2-9 months after treatment. His treatment has been completed and he will need a Heartworm test every 2 months to follow up on his treatment progress until he has a negative result. During these months, you will need to make sure his heart rate is not elevated due to high energy play or exercise. Monroe will also need continued use of monthly Heartworm prevention going forward. These medical needs will be the responsibility of the adopter.

ABOUT: BASENJI DOG BREED
The Basenji is a small hunting dog known for its unique traits, including a highly distinctive yodel like sound instead of a typical bark, and the inability to bark like other dogs. Originating from Africa, these intelligent and curious dogs are independent, agile, and alert, making them excellent companions for active individuals or families with experience handling their assertive nature. Recognized for their clean habits and cat like grooming behavior, basenjis require regular exercise and mental stimulation to thrive in a loving home environment.
The Carolina Dog, a primitive breed known for its wild ancestry, is a medium sized, agile, and intelligent dog originally found roaming freely in the Southeastern United States. With a distinctive appearance marked by erect ears, a bushy tail, and a sable coat, Carolina Dogs are highly adaptable, affectionate with their families, and wary of strangers, making them excellent watchdogs. Their natural hunting instincts and independence require consistent training and an active lifestyle to thrive in a loving home environment.
