About Monte

Monte is a big-hearted, lively pit bull/mastiff mix with a friendly, animated spirit. At roughly 3 years old and weighing in around 89 pounds, he brings a mix of energy and affection wherever he goes. Monte's back on his feet after successful TPLO surgery; his vet has him cleared and feeling strong, though a minor cruciate issue in his other leg is being managed without intervention. Monte’s favorite things include racing around the yard for zoomies, diving into chew bones, and sneaking his favorite treat—French fries. He’s crate-trained, house trained, and knows his basic commands. While he gets along well with other big dogs (over 40 pounds), he plays with a rough-and-tumble style, so any future dog friend needs to keep up. Monte pulls a bit on the leash, especially at first, but settles in; his excitement is part of his charm. He’s learned not to jump up on people, but he still needs a home committed to reinforcing his manners, especially since a house without children under 10 is best. Monte is too focused on cats for a peaceful coexistence and should find a cat-free home. Out in public, Monte is a social butterfly—calm, gentle, always a favorite at the vet. At home, he’s more cautious with new faces, but he truly blossoms once introduced by someone he trusts. He offers big cuddles and sometimes thinks he’s a lap dog, despite his size. Monte is ready for a family to call his own and has plenty of love to give. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.

    Monte, as a pit bull/mastiff mix, will thrive in a home with enough space to move and play, ideally with a secure yard. An active household without young children and without cats is best suited for him.

  • How much outdoor space does this breed typically need?

    A large, fenced yard is ideal for Monte's breed mix, as he loves zoomies and benefits from room to stretch out. Regular outdoor activity is important to keep him healthy.

  • Is this breed typically suitable for homes with children?

    Monte is best matched with families that have children over 10, since his size and play style can be overwhelming for younger kids. This is common for his breed mix, which tends to be bouncy and strong.
