About Monty
Monty is a gentle giant in every sense—massive, soft-hearted, and happiest simply relaxing near his people. At about 6 years old, he’s settling into middle age with the approach of a much-loved couch potato. His last weigh-in was 163 pounds, so he’s on a committed weight loss journey and needs a home ready to support that. He enjoys calm, steady walks, content to take things at his own pace, and isn’t looking for an overly active lifestyle. By nature, Monty is quiet and low-key, but he does have a particular enthusiasm for breakfast, announcing meal times with his signature howl if he feels service is too slow. He’s crate-trained and fully house trained, finding comfort in routines and familiar spaces. Monty would do best as an only pet, though he’s proved he can coexist with laid-back dogs who respect his boundaries and also gets along well with cats. He’s behaved kindly with older, respectful children in his foster setting, though he can show barrier reactivity toward other dogs through fences or crates. With people, he’s never shown any aggression. Monty’s got a determined streak common to giant breeds and always thinks things over in his own time—life moves at "Monty speed." If you’re looking for a big, gentle, quietly stubborn companion who wants to be loved as he is, Monty’s your guy. Must-have: room in your heart (and on your furniture) for a dog of substance.
