Introducing Monty, your new best friend who’s learning his name—and happily responds to "Buddy!" Isn't that just the sweetest thing? This distinguished gentleman has a heart as big as his size, ready to shower you with all the love you didn't even know you needed. 🐶❤️ Now let’s talk about Monty’s journey! This charming soul has come through more than most—abuse, abandonment, and hardship—yet he still possesses a goofy spirit and a joyful demeanor that could light up any room. 🌈 Despite moments that remind him of his past, his resilience shines through, especially when he gazes at you with those soulful eyes that tell a story of hope and love. Monty is not just a dog; he’s a life-changer! He’s affectionate, intelligent, and eager to learn. He’s already mastered commands like sit, down, shake, and come. We're just polishing those skills, and with some patience and kindness, watch him thrive even more! And when it comes to cuddles, trust me, no one does it better than Monty. He absolutely loves snuggling up next to you on the couch. 🛋️💤 Don’t be surprised if he tries to lick your wet feet after a shower—it's his version of a doggy welcome! Although he’s not one to bark much, Monty has a keen sense for all things suspicious—like snowplows or the Amazon delivery guy who constantly pops by without a proper invitation! He's a gem with kids, and his excitement for other dogs is contagious. His toys, especially his adored stuffed Lambchop friends, are treated like royalty because, let’s be honest, they’re part of his ‘flock’! 🐑♕ Monty may bear some old scars from his past battles, but don’t let that fool you. He’s an absolute champ when it comes to handling his paws, getting his nails trimmed, and even having his teeth brushed. He’s the kind of dog who cherishes trust and gives it in return. Now, a little note about kennel time. Monty experiences some kennel anxiety, especially during transitions, but his progress is remarkable! He’s even taken to wandering in to “inspect” his kennel when he thinks no one’s watching. What a curious spirit! He can be a bit hesitant with new men, but with calm energy, he warms up faster than a pizza in an oven! 🍕 Speaking of pizza, did you know Monty might just be the long-lost cousin of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? He will do almost anything for a slice! 😄 Monty is ready to find a forever home that understands that patience and kindness make all the difference. If someone could keep up with his playful energy and manage his size (he’s a big boy at 85 lbs!), then they’ll uncover the absolute treasure he is. Imagine a life where Monty reigns, surrounded by calm energy, a playful canine companion, and, of course, his beloved Lambchop collection! Isn’t that a delightful think? So, if you’re ready for a loyal friend who just wants to stay by your side, **apply to adopt Monty through the Buddy App!** Together, you can build a kingdom full of love!
