A volunteer writes: What time is it? It?s belly rub o clock that?s what time it is!! Ask Monette what her favorite thing to do is and she?ll flop right over to give you her delicious belly to rub. An adorable peanut with big ears and a winning smile, she sits, gives paw(both of them), goes down, and rolls over and while I haven?t quite figured out the order of it all yet, she knows what to do! Showing off her housetraining skills the moment we were out the door Monette pulls slightly on leash as we head to the park. As the park squirrels come over to investigate this newcomer, Monette gives a pull towards them. She doesn?t mind being tethered for photos, poses sweetly and goes through her routine of sit, paw, down and over. So cute! Happy to be out on a perfect summer afternoon, Monette was content to chill out on the grass with me and watch the world go by. She?s looking for a new person with whom to chill so come meet her
today.

Behavior during Intake

Monette tolerated all handling during intake. She was focused on the door. I notice when the leash was off of her she would lay down. As soon as I put the leash back on she would pull and become very active. No signs of aggression were displayed during intake.

Basic Information

Monette is a 5 year old spayed American Pit Bull who is being surrendered because she bit her owner a few times within the past couple of weeks. These bites did not break skin. She adopted Monette from ACC. Owner had her for about three weeks. Owner stated she may have a UTI and has witness worms in her stool.

Socialization

Monette was sick when adopted from ACC. She was very relaxed while she was sick. After she got better and gained weight she became somewhat aggressive towards strangers, adults and kids. She will bark, growl, and lunge at anyone. She never lived or spent time with children. She did not play with adults or kids. She would bark and lunge at any size dog when outside. She has never lived or spent time with any other kind of animal. She bit her owner but did not break skin. She bit this person after a command to sit was given. Monette also bit her owner as the owner passed by her to throw away garbage. She also mounted her owner.

Behavior

Owner stated Monette peed on herself often and did not seem to be aware of it. She is not bothered by storms or sudden loud noises. Monette is not bothered if her food is touched while she is eating, if a treat of any kind is taken away, if a toy is taken away, or if bathed. Owner is not aware of how she would react if pushed off furniture, if disturbed while sleeping, or if held. Owner never brushed Monette?s coat or trimmed her nails. She will bark if someone knocks on the door and may or may not bark if someone approaches the owner outside.

For a New Family to Know

Monette is described as mellow with an unpredictable aggressive behavior. She has a medium to high activity level. She does not play with toys or plays any games. She was kept indoors only and slept on her bed or on the floor. She was fed Trader Joe?s wet and dry dog food. She was given 1 can of wet and 1 cup of dry twice a day. She is mostly house-trained but will do pee on herself without noticing it. Outside she will go potty anywhere. She does not do well in a crate.
She knows commands like sit and come. She pulls hard and is walks for a few hours a day. Owner never walked her off the leash.
