About Monty

Meet Monty! Monty is a 5-month-old Boxer/Lab mix with big paws and an even bigger personality. He’s goofy, sweet, and happiest when he’s included in the action—whether that means tagging along outdoors, splashing in water, or just being part of the family routine. He wears sweaters without a fuss and takes on new things like he was born for it. Monty’s a quick learner. He’s crate trained, mostly house trained, and shows off a mellow to moderate energy that blends playfulness with a laid-back vibe. Monty gets along well with children and other dogs, but a cat-free home is needed since he tends to want to chase them. If you love the idea of a loyal, adventure-ready companion who’s just as happy settling in for quiet time, Monty could be your perfect sidekick. He’s neutered, up to date on his vaccines, and waiting for a family that’ll include him in all of life’s adventures. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
