About Monty

Meet Monty, a joyful pup who thinks he might be a seal! This sweet Staffordshire Bull Terrier was found tied to a stop sign in Richmond, but thanks to a kind college student, he made his way to safety with Fancy Cats & Dogs Rescue Team. After nearly three months in foster care, Monty's beautiful coat has grown back thick and shiny, and he’s now a healthy, happy boy ready for a home. Affectionate and great with other dogs, Monty absolutely loves going to the dog park. He’s done well with the resident cat in his first temporary home, so he may be perfect for a family with feline friends too. Monty has a special love for water. During walks, he eagerly jumps into creeks, and getting him out can feel like wrestling a shark! A baby pool in the backyard would make this little water lover's day. Just make sure to use a chew-proof long lead by the water—Monty’s adventurous spirit might lead him downstream! He is house trained, leash trained, and crate trained. Plus, he’s up-to-date on vaccinations, neutered, and microchipped. Monty still has puppy energy, needing more frequent potty breaks during the day but is expected to reach around 40-45 pounds as an adult. After a tough start, Monty deserves a family that will cherish him, keep him safe, and take him on swimming adventures. Could you be the one to give him a loving forever home?
