Considering where Monty came from, to where he is now, it’s amazing he and his sister Clara survived. But not only has he survived, he is thriving!!
 

Meet Monty

He is a very handsome 3 year old neutered male that is extremely affectionate and very smart. He learns commands with ease and is very food motivated. He loves to sit and lay down for treats and is learning to take them very softly. He walks wonderful on a leash is un-reactive to anything happening around him. He stays close and is not a puller. He loads wonderful in the car and loves to watch the world go by as you go through town. He adores pup cups and  enjoys them with perfect manners. He currently resides with several other dogs both small and large and we think he would do best with medium size and up. He is not always aware of his size. He will NOT do well with cats as they appear to be moving toys, so no cats. 

He has been to boarding and was a superstar and was great for his first bath ever. It felt so good to have the past scrubbed off. He has overcome so much from being tied up outside with no food or water and shelter dependent on whether his chain was looped around the pole. Monty will require a fenced in yard as we have promised him he will not be tied up ever again. 

He is shy with new people, but warms up with treats and going slow. He watches his person for cues and wants to please. He will need you to understand that the world to him is a big place and very intimidating.  His play style is busy and fun and if someone won't play with him he rolls over makes noise and runs in circles. He loves to wrestle and run! He does not care to play ball, but loves walks and exploring.  On the other hand he is a quiet friend that will sit at your feet while you work or drink your coffee in the morning. He is the sweetest most loving boy. 

His other past time is catching popcorn and treats and he definitely has the eye mouth coordination down. He has good re-call and is learning the fencing system. 

Monty  will need someone to understand that though he is a big dog, he is an even bigger baby. He will need  slow introductions to the world in a methodical manner and that re-direction needs to be consistent, fair and and not harsh.  He would do best with another solid dog and will need you to be aware that sometimes when he plays, he does not hear the other dog say no. He is learning and is super excited to  attend day care this week.
