Monty – Yellow Male, 5-6 years, 73 lbs.
These are the eyes of someone who wants a family!
The sweetest, most energetic dog! Everybody loves Monty! He looks right in your eyes, eager to be your friend. There’s something very wise about this spunky, handsome, smart guy. Monty comes to Lab Rescue from a local shelter where he was found running at large and picked up by Animal Control. Shockingly, his family didn’t come looking for him – their loss, a real family’s gain!! Monty is eager to please and his foster is working on some commands as well. At first, Monty appeared to be a much older dog, but we realized he had premature greying and the vet confirmed (he acts like a 2 year old). He appears to be housebroken, while in the kennel he will “hold it to go out”. He loves going for walks and once he has a little energy out, he walks better now.
Monty loves to run like the wind (especially if you happen to have a BALL). He LOVES playing fetch, most times he even brings it back. He enjoys the company of other dogs but is more focused on people and wouldn’t mind a family where his people are home more than not. Monty is looking for an active family, with structure, who will love him and continue to work with him on his training. A home with older kids is best as he can be a rambunctious big boy. He is truly ready for a family to continue what we have worked on. There are no cats in the foster home so we do not know how Monty would do with kitties.
Like all Labs, Monty will benefit from an obedience class; and regular exercise to ensure he is the perfect dog he was destined to be. Monty would be so grateful to have somebody to love. Won’t you consider giving this sweetheart the chance to have a real home and family? If you would like to know more about Monty, please fill out an online adoption application.
