Monkey Marcel

Take a look at this big beautiful boy! His foster mom calls him Monkey Marcel (FKA Rustic Adobe) because he can climb fences. Monkey stole our hearts at the Detroit shelter because he was just so shut down and only wanted to come up to you and bury his head in your chest while you gave him pets. 5 years old, 82 lbs, Cane Corso mix that is neutered and UTD on shots. Here’s what his foster mom says: Sweetest face & absolutely adores human companionship. Always ready for adventure with you, a car ride, meeting new friends, exploring new places, and learning new skills. House and potty trained. He is still learning that the crate is a fun and safe place. Ultimate gentleman on a leash, only pulling a little at first with the excitement of a new adventure. Knows how to sit like a king and will eagerly offer his paw—he loves showing off his good manners! He’s not much of a barker, and greets visitors with a waggy tail. Loves training games, his favorite treats are chicken bits and meatballs. He is both highly food motivated and praise motivated. Ultimate “velcro dog” in the making — snuggles, cuddles and massages are top on his list, melting into you and rolling on his back for belly rubs. His silly, playful side has started to peek out too, chasing and pouncing on tennis balls like a cat or showing off his climbing agility. He’s not just looking for a home—he’s looking for his forever family, someone who will appreciate his calm, loving nature. Monkey would enjoy a lifestyle where he can be included in your daily activities and would love to go to work with you. Currently, he shows great interest in other animals. He has been around horses and donkeys! So far, he has offered some playbows with another dog, but has not yet had an opportunity to further explore doggie friendships.
