ADOPTED!

Meet Monty! He is a black male Labrador Retriever approximately five years old. Monty is a large boy with a personality that will melt your heart.  He came to into WCLRR from a shelter listed as a stray.  Monty sat waiting, scared and confused.

Monty is very affectionate and loves to lay with his head in your lap while watching tv and get tummy rubs. Monty’s foster says he has the flip on his back perfected to get those much-loved belly rubs and provide endless kisses. Monty can also be very comfortable hanging out in the yard while his foster is doing yard work. He’s just an easy-going kind of dog.

Monty has learned the doggy door at his foster home will come and go as he needs to. Monty is not fond of the crate and prefers to sleep on a doggy bed next to his foster family.  Monty is non-destructive and not a counter-surfer or trash digger.

Monty can be a little timid and cautious with new noises and situations but easily adapts and adjusts. Monty needs to have some training, he’s not great on a leash, mostly weaving back and forth, and he will pull towards other dogs or critters and can be leash reactive at times and our trainer feels this might be do to lack of socialization.   Because of Monty’s size, his new owner should work on this immediately. Monty is food motivated, so this will make training much more straightforward.

Monty is a medium energy boy learning to fetch and loves doing his zoomies in his yard after doing his business. He loves playing with a soccer ball. Monty’s foster describes him as a cuddler, lover, intelligent, quickly settles, kisser, and just about perfect.

Due to Monty’s size, we will not be able to place him in a home with children. We have determined Monty should be the only dog in the home due to dog reactivity (he is currently working with one of our trainers to help him with this behavior.) We have not cat test him, but due to the prey drive that has been observed, we can not consider homes with cats.

If your looking for a big love bug who will be happy to hang with his family, then Monty might be perfect for you.

Monty is neutered, up to date on his vaccines, and microchipped.
