Meet this very handsome and affectionate guy we named "Monty". He arrived after being picked up by a Good Samaritan. Monty has found himself homeless and alone as no one has shown up to find him. He arrived with double ear infections and a skin infection however he is well on his way to a full recovery. Monty is looking for a second chance at a good life, he is affectionate, he loves tennis balls and he has a big overbite which makes him that much more irresistible. He has tons of energy and he will keep you laughing and entertained all the time. Monty has met cats at the shelter and done well, he would do best with kids over 12 years old and will require a meet and greet with another dog. He is 69 pounds, 4 to 6 years young, up to date on vaccinations, micro-chipped and heartworm negative.
