.
Monty is a 3-year-old, 40-pound mixed breed boy. He is a nervous Nelly with strangers and does not believe in instant friendships. He wants to be a protector, but his courage is mostly theoretical and often accompanied by full-body trembling and at least 6 feet of distance from the perceived “threat.” Think “security system with anxiety.”
Monty loves other dogs and truly needs a confident dog friend in his future home. Another dog helps him feel safe and grounded. He is also cat-friendly and horse friendly.
Walks and car rides? Hard no. Monty is a proud homebody who believes the backyard is the pinnacle of outdoor living. He is not your hiking buddy. He is your “let’s stay home and watch TV” buddy.
Once Monty decides you are safe (this takes time, patience, and respect), he turns into an absolute sweetheart who craves affection and attention. He bonds deeply, loves hard, and will stick close to his person like a tiny, emotionally dependent shadow.
Sometimes Monty is scared of things that aren’t obvious to the humans in the house. Maybe the wind? Maybe the weather? Maybe a discrete noise? Maybe a ghost?
Monty would thrive in a calm, understanding home with another friendly dog, a sense of humor, and people who don’t take his quirks personally. If you’re willing to meet him where he is, Monty will reward you with loyalty, love, and a lifetime of watching you very closely to make sure you’re okay.
Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed.
We prefer that applicants live no further than one hour from Cary NC as our dogs must be seen by a BFPA veterinarian for all medical care that might be needed during the two week trial period prior to adoptions being finalized. For the right home for Monty, we may consider applicants who live further away.
