Hello, I'm Monty

Monty

Monty is a handsome crossbreed who arrived in our care as a stray. Through his microchip we were able to establish that he originally came from Romania. He is approximately 5 years old and, sadly, no one ever came forward to claim him.

Monty is a bright boy who is well established in life. He walks nicely on the lead, although he does enjoy a brisk pace and absolutely doesn’t miss a sniff along the way. He would love a home that enjoys getting out and about and exploring the world with him.

Monty takes everyday life in his stride and is not bothered by traffic, passing people, or general household and environmental noises. He is a sensible boy who enjoys taking everything in around him, especially if there are plenty of interesting smells to investigate.

We do not know what trauma Monty may have experienced before arriving with us, nor how his life began in the Romanian rescue system. Despite this, he has a wonderfully loving nature and will happily rub up against you like a cat when he wants some fuss and scratches.

Monty already knows how to sit and give a paw, and he has recently learned the down command. He loves spending time in the garden, happily exploring on his own before checking back in for some affection when the mood takes him.

He can be quite an independent boy, but he is very good at letting you know when he would like some human interaction, whether that’s for a walk, a meal, or simply a little company. He also has the best legs in town and moves with a wonderfully elegant trot.

Around other dogs, Monty can sometimes be vocal and display slightly stalky Collie like behaviours when he is unsure of what to do. He is easily managed and our behaviour team have been working with him using positive reinforcement and reward based training. He is making fantastic progress and is learning how to engage politely and positively with other dogs.

Monty could potentially live with sensible children aged 16+ following successful meets at the centre. He could also potentially share his home with a calm female dog, subject to suitable introductions. We would also be happy to cat test Monty if required, based on introductions carried out at the centre.

Training classes would be beneficial to help him maintain a good routine, continue building his confidence, and provide ongoing encouragement as he settles into his new home. Monty is an intelligent boy who enjoys learning and is eager to please, making him a rewarding companion to work with.

Monty is looking for an active home with laid back humans who enjoy adventures but also appreciate relaxing in their own space. He would benefit from owners who are willing to continue his training and make learning fun. He is eager to please and, above all else, is a happy go lucky lad who deserves a forever home of his own.
