Monty

About Monty

Big baby with a brain.

Beautiful big boy Monty is looking for a new family. He is approaching 2 years old and is a very loyal, loving, big baby dog.

Monty can tolerate solitude for 2.5 to 3 hours and happily greets you with some woofs to show his excitement that you’re home! His size presents challenges – he does tend to chew when anxious and lacks awareness of his dimensions, potentially knocking over children despite gentle intentions.

He enjoys enrichment activities like snuffle mats, kongs and lick mats for his food-seeking nature. His primary behavioural concern involves unpredictable reactions toward other canines, which his current guardians attribute to fear-based responses, though he is becoming too strong for them to manage.

At home, Monty is a large lazy boy who doesn’t seem to need loads of exercise. He demonstrates intelligence by opening doors and claiming a nap on one of the children’s beds. Though obedient and responsive to correction, he exhibits cheekiness.

He can struggle to settle with visitors outside of the family unit to the home and shows reactivity to unfamiliar dogs whilst on lead, despite friendships formed in other contexts.

Monty requires an experienced adult couple, without children, as the sole household dog. He is a baby really but has some underlying anxiety that needs some work. He will need multiple meetings before placement.

Located in Bishops Stortford. Adoption fee: £250.
