MONA LISA IS CURRENTLY IN NEED OF A
FOSTER HOME
! IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO FOSTER MONA LISA, PLEASE FILL OUT A FOSTER APPLICATION ON OUR WEBSITE, THANK YOU!
Mona Lisa is a great dog with excellent recall. She knows her name, but will also respond to the name MoLi (the first two letters of her two names). She loves playing in the water, and running around with her people in the yard. When she first meets a new dog, she is usually not crazy about them. Our trainer can coach you on how to handle introductions properly, such that this is not a major issue. Once she meets and knows the other dog, she warms up to them and is perfectly fine. After knowing one of our guest's dogs for just a few days, she was running around with him in the yard - no issues. The other dog was jumping on her and running circles around her, and she did not seem to mind at all. But I mention the issue with introductions because a potential adopter should know that she is not the dog that you can bring to the doggy park!
When Mona Lisa is left home alone, we crate her so that she does not get into things. Likewise, just as a precaution, we would not recommend leaving her alone unsupervised with another dog. You just never know and it's better to be safe than sorry.
Mona Lisa is great with bones and food when there are people around, but will get dominant and territorial about it when there are other dogs around.
When she gets excited (like when it's feeding time or when visitors show), she gets a bit vocal, so may not be good for an apartment/condo situation.
Mona Lisa has settled into her foster home after a month and is also doing well in the beginners dog obedience class that she is enrolled in. Mona Lisa can Sit, Heel, and Stay (for 2 minutes) at command and that is only after 3 weeks. When I first began fostering Mona Lisa she did not like being crated and I could actually not crate her during the day since she would tear the crate up and try to get out. Due to this I chose to leave her in the garage all day which she loves since she has toys to play with, a couch to sleep on, and a garage all to her self. She also stays in the kitchen with my other foster dog.
House manners have been good with no chewing of furniture and no accidents anywhere to date.
Mona Lisa is coming to us from a high kill shetler where her chances of being adopted were very low. Mona is a prettyshepherd/lab mix who needs a great permanent home . We will have more pictures and information soon . Mona Lisa does get along with other animals and cats but it needs to be done gradually and neutrally like anything else in life or there could be some growling. Mona Lisa does get along with other dogs after time and would do great in a home where she is the only dog and a home with other pets in due good time. For example, at first Mona Lisa growled out at my other foster and when I finally decided to let them play together after some time, there was still some growling but there has never been any biting nor snapping of each other or at me; just doggies playing around. Mona Lisa loves playing with water, long hikes, playing fetch, and running. Mona will need to go to a home that has a yard that is fenced in or invisible or the adopter would need to explain to me how Mona will be getting her exercise, whether it be on a runner or by walking her every day. Breed Description: The Treeing Tennessee Brindle is another variation of the coonhounds of America. They are smaller than other coonhounds, however, and only range from around 16 to 24 inches. They have catlike paws, and a choppy bawl for a bark. With small ears and a brindle body, this breed is discouraged from changing size, ear length, tail, or colors so that it doesn't also change category. Treeing Tennessee Brindles are good at open trailing and locating prey. Courageous hunters and companions, the Treeing Tennessee Brindle is said to have an abundance of "heart and try." They are a sensitive breed, however, and owners warn never to mistreat the breed. This breed can be more sensitive than normal toward neglect or abuse, and it is thought that once you mistreat them they will never treat you the same again. They are good natured and friendly dogs, getting along with anyone and everyone. This breed is intelligent, alert, and vocal. They love to bark because it is usually their job. The Treeing Tennessee Brindle is a an American breed with a strong work drive and friendly demeanor. Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all animals before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the animals shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification. The microchips are registered to Last Day Dog Rescue with the adopter's info added once adopted. If the animal is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Animals MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our animals back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted animal. Please understand the statements about this animal are based upon the foster home's evaluation of the animal. The animal might behave differently (negatively or positively) in your home. While the animal might be good with the current foster’s dogs, cats, children, etc., it may not be with your animal(s) or children. The animal may be housebroken or litter trained in the home of the foster but may relapse in your home. The animal is represented to the public as it performs in the foster home and any statements made regarding the animal are conditional to that foster home setting. Please understand that statements made regarding this animal are simply overviews and are not guaranteed. The Petfinder.com system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our animals. Visual breed identification in animals is unreliable so for most of the animals we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each animal as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our animals based on personality, not by breed label. Thank you for looking through our list of animals needing forever homes and choosing rescue first.
