Monae - Boxer and American Staffordshire Terrier Dog for Adoption in Bowie, Maryland

Monae is a brindle beauty who is a rock star on leash, fully house trained and makes for an excellent work from home buddy! She likes to be with her people.

Some of Monae's favorite things:
- treats, stuffed Kongs, lick mats
- affection and giving kisses
- meeting new friends, a stranger is just a friend she hasn't met yet!
- hitting snooze! Monae will happily sleep in on the weekend with you and makes the cutest snores.
- playing tug

Monae is very food motivated and immediately sits for treats and meals, allows baths and nail trims, a trustworthy mature lady!

She can be picky about her dog friends, and prefers those that will respect her space and wouldn't mind having her humans to herself!
