About me I am a sweet, funny and smart dog. I am a little low rider - long and low with a style all my own. I can be timid at first but I warm up very quickly. I love food, so once you fill my belly, I will be your friend forever. I am an unabashed lapdog! I know how to use the doggy door and has been left in the house to roam freely for about 5 hours without an accident or being destructive. I just really want to please and I have learned to walk on a loose leash, to 'sit' and am learning how to 'stay'. My adoption fee is a bargain! Not only do you get my unconditional love and a new BFF, it includes my neuter surgery, vaccinations, microchip, and even some cool coupons!

| 06/27/2025 From the foster parent: Monty is quite shy. He has been doing well with our dog pack but still gets antsy and scared around new people and men. Bear and Hunter are very tall so it’s scary for him when they approach. He’s never attempted to bite or anything other than bark at them and back away. He tries to be the tough guy but has no idea what to do lol He is a Velcro dog to me. He wants to be connected at all times when I’m present. Very much a mamas boy. He is the sweetest little soul. Very sweet and easy going when he’s not with other dogs or people. He does walk decently on leash and enjoys walks. He likes to chase birds if you let him but not to hurt them thankfully! He also is ok with cats but very interested in them and will chase them if they run from him. |
| 06/02/2025 FROM FOSTER: He’s doing well so far :) Definitely unsure of men, we are working on his confidence but he’s done well with our dogs so far and even played yesterday afternoon. He’s eating well too. He’s definitely a bit of a velcro dog, unsure of people but we will work on that! |
| 06/02/2025 FROM FOSTER: He’s doing well getting used to being with other dogs and other people. He is a velcro pupper for sure! He will not leave my side when I’m home and at night is snuggled to me at all times. We went on a long walk and he did well, still working on leash manners and not chasing birds lol Very interested in them! But not in a mean way. He’s ridiculously cute and sweet! |
| 05/16/2025 FROM FOSTER: Monty is a sweet, funny and smart dog. He is a low rider - long and low with a style all his own. Monty is timid at first but warms up very quickly. He's food-motivated, so once you fill his belly, he will be your friend forever. He is an unabashed lapdog! Monty is trained to use the doggy door and has been left in the house to roam freely for about 5 hours without an accident or being destructive. Monty wants to please and has learned to walk on a loose leash, to 'sit' and is learning how to 'stay'. Monty is initially hesitant to go for walks. The big world is a little intimidating to him at first. But, with each walk he gains more and more confidence. |
