Hello ! This is Monty !

At first glance, it might appear that Monty is channeling his inner Eeyore. With those soulful puppy dog eyes and that prominent underbite, he has a way of pulling at our heartstrings. But don't be fooled! This fun-loving boy is all wiggles and tail wags when he's playing with toys or exploring the great outdoors.

If you're looking for the perfect trail companion, Monty is your boy. He goes out on the trail on a regular basis, and can run for miles. Bikers, strollers, dogs, cranky swans and other distractions don't faze him in the slightest.

If that face isn't enough to convince you to take him home immediately, we should also note that he has received rave reviews in his foster home and on sleepovers with volunteers. He's fully house-trained and has proven to be a respectful houseguest. He's also an excellent snoozer and is content to chill on the couch and keep you company for hours during Netflix marathons.

In addition to being a top-notch lounger and trail companion, Monty is also in the Total Obedience Program (TOP), which is modeled after the AKC's Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test. This smart pup recently became TOP Dog Ready, which means he has already learned all the skills in his training plan, including walking nicely on leash, sitting calmly when approached by strangers, calmly walking past another dog, staying in a sit or down until told "free," and coming when called.
