Mondo

Mondo isn’t looking for just anyone. He’s looking for someone who sees beyond the surface and is ready to give a smart, misunderstood dog the shot he’s never had.<br/><br/>This young lad is a striking German Shepherd mix who takes his job as “Chief Perimeter Inspector” very seriously. At around 1.5 years old, this handsome guy is always on alert, watching everything around him like a canine security camera (with better ears). He’s incredibly smart, walks great on a leash, and is crate trained like a pro. But don’t let his serious stare fool you—Mondo has a goofy side too. He loves to play ball and will happily chase it until your arm gets tired. When he's in his element, you’ll see that spark of silly energy that makes you laugh even on tough days.<br/><br/>Unlike his couch potato friends — Mondo wants to move! He’d love an adventurous, outdoorsy human who enjoys hiking, traveling, or just racking up steps together. Mondo urgently needs a change of scenery- he is our longest resident in the shelter.<br/><br/>Mondo should have an adult-only home. He has strong guarding instincts and would thrive with someone experienced in handling confident, protective breeds. He’s not here to make friends with everyone — he’s looking for his person. And once he learns to trust, there’s something special waiting underneath that watchful exterior. At the shelter, he has enjoyed having other canine companions, and loves to play.<br/>Because of his unique needs his ideal human:<br/><br/>-Should be an active single adult<br/>-Will have no children <br/>-Should be someone who has experience with working/guarding breeds <br/>-Will be a person who is capable of setting strong boundaries & providing structure <br/><br/>Mondo has never had the chance to truly bond with someone, but we know his heart is soft behind that serious face. With time, patience, and structure, he has the potential to discover what it means to feel safe, understood, and finally… at home.<br/><br/>Mondo isn't for everyone—but for the right person, he could be everything!!! <br/><br/>***Adoption Policy: <br/>Montague County Animal Rescue typically does not adopt dogs to homes where they will live primarily outdoors. We believe every dog deserves to be part of the family and live safely indoors. Exceptions may be made for specific breeds or unique circumstances where an outdoor environment is appropriate and secure.
