About Monty

Monty is a charming young pup, a 2-year-old Chihuahua and Italian Greyhound mix weighing in at 9 pounds. This little love bug is not just adorable with his white and cream coat but also brings a warm and affectionate spirit. He was rescued from a high-kill shelter in Houston, TX, where he was noted to be a bit shy, likely due to his surroundings. Now, in a nurturing foster home, he has come out of his shell and shows a playful side, quickly warming up to those around him. His foster family shares that Monty is truly snuggly and thrives on cuddles. Initially a bit shy, he has formed a friendship with the resident dog and loves to chew on toys and bones. Although he isn’t thrilled by kibble on its own (a little sprucing up will help!), he is generally a calm and sweet companion. Monty does fine in the car, although he is prone to drooling. It’s clear he needs a home where he can get loving attention, exercise, and consistent stimulation. Training through positive reinforcement is essential, and the rescue offers a list of trainers for guidance. Monty is neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and full of love. The adoption process includes a unique one-week trial to ensure a good fit. If you’re interested in offering Monty a forever home, don’t hesitate to reach out. Every animal deserves a happy ending; this one starts with you.
