About Monty
Meet Monty. Easygoing and sun-powered, Monty has a chill energy that fits quietly into your routine — and before you know it, you’ll wonder how you managed without him. He’s leash trained without a hint of pulling, fully house and potty trained, and gets along beautifully with other dogs. If you’re searching for a dog who isn’t interested in drama but delights in soft places, snacks, and steady company, Monty checks every box. His favorite activity? Soaking up the sun, preferably from a warm patch of grass or wherever those golden rays land inside. He’ll need gentle encouragement to come indoors when it’s nice out — outdoor comfort is Monty’s definition of paradise. Training comes naturally to him thanks to his food motivation, and he’s working on “come” and “leave it.” He listens especially well when caught swiping a shoe, usually putting it down with a sheepish little look. Monty can be shy meeting new people, but he warms up with a calm introduction and has proven wonderful around children, as seen with his foster’s neighbor’s granddaughter. Once settled, he gives affection freely and truly shines as a loyal companion. Playful in his own way, Monty moves with a bit of awkwardness due to some weakness in his back legs from an old injury, but it doesn’t stop him from enjoying gentle runs, cuddles, or walks. He won’t be signing up for marathons — a stroll and some sunshine are more his speed — and he’ll always appreciate a cozy bed or couch. He’s extra happy with a dog buddy around, sharing the fun and forming sweet bonds. Adopt Monty if you want a best friend who prefers snuggles to chaos and loves you with quiet devotion from sunrise to bedtime. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
