❤️Overlooked Loves: Meet Monet❤️

Monet is as cute as they come — with expressive eyes, soft ears, and the sweetest little belly flop when she’s ready for rubs. But the stress of shelter life is wearing her down fast. You can see it in her face — her spirit is starting to fade.

Away from the noise, Monet shines. She’s affectionate, dog-friendly, great with respectful kids, and just wants to feel safe again.

Monet urgently needs a foster or adopter to help her decompress and rediscover joy. If you can’t take her in, please share — it could save her.
