Monty is a 2-year-old Chiweenie, a delightful mix of Chihuahua and Dachshund, weighing around 9 pounds. He's a big ol' love bug, ready to bring affection into your home. Found as a stray in Houston, TX, Monty was rescued from a challenging shelter environment.

He benefits from positive reinforcement training, which helps enhance his confidence and strengthen the bond with his future family. This is a non-negotiable for his adoption, as training will set him up for success. Monty is up to date on vaccinations, neutered, and healthy. Adopting from Farfel's Rescue includes a one-week trial to ensure it’s the right match for both Monty and his new family. If it doesn't work out, the adoption fee is fully refundable.
