Meet Monkey, a truly special senior girl with a heart as big as her personality! This gentle sweetheart adores people, getting along beautifully with other dogs, puppies, and even cats. Monkey has mastered the art of getting comfy on the couch with her humans, cherishing belly rubs and mealtime above all.

She's perfectly content relaxing at home, making her the best mix of playful and peaceful companionship.
As a Dachshund and Chihuahua mix, Monkey combines the affectionate and sometimes feisty spirit of a Dachshund with the loyal and charming nature of a Chihuahua. She's a small dog with a big heart, known for her devotion and cuddly disposition. Her potty training is impeccable, and she thrives in an apartment setting, proving to be an adaptable and low-maintenance companion in terms of living space. Monkey is looking for a home where she can be cherished and enjoy her golden years surrounded by love.
Monkey is seeking a compassionate adopter ready to open their heart to a hospice dog. While her time may be shorter than we wish, she promises endless devotion, warmth, and tail wags every single day. She will thrive with continued positive reinforcement, mental enrichment, gentle exercise, and an abundance of patience and love. If you're ready to provide this very special girl with the soft landing and meaningful comfort she deserves, Monkey is ready to offer you a lifetime of love in return.
