All about MONROE
MONROE is a 4 years, 2 months old male Terrier/Mix who weighs 15 pounds and has been with us for 74 days.
Monroe is looking for a loving forever home after a rough beginning.
This handsome four-year-old Terrier mix was brought into the San Antonio Humane Society by a Good Samaritan in March in heartbreaking condition. He was found sitting on the side of the road, severely injured and in need of help. Monroe was covered in mud, with wounds all over his body and most of his front teeth broken, leading us to believe he may have been attacked by other dogs or another animal. The worst injuries were to his neck and back hip, some so severe that muscles and tendons were visible.
Our Leeu Naylor Medical Building team went straight to work to clean and treat his wounds. Some had to be surgically repaired, and we noticed that he wasn't able to use the leg that had the worst of the injuries. He was unable to wag his tail as well, and there was a possibility we would need to amputate for his quality of life. But once his injuries were healed up, we decided to try and save his leg and tail by starting laser therapy and exercises in the underwater treadmill. Little by little, Monroe regained movement in his back leg and his tail, and thankfully no amputations were needed! He is feeling so much better now and is all ready to meet you. We are so proud of Monroe and all the progress he's made since he arrived at the SAHS.
Despite everything he's been through, Monroe is the absolute sweetest dog who loves being around people and getting treats. He even still does great around other dogs, and can join a home with a canine friend after a proper dog intro here at the SAHS. He has even shown signs that he could be good around cats as well, so he would be perfect for any home. This sweet and resilient guy is ready to join his forever family, so come meet him today!
