My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Monty is a big love bug, he just wants to be close to everyone in the yard always seeking out pets and cuddles from our volunteers.

Monty has a very happy demeaner, he is a returned adoption and his previous adopters said he did well in his home but there was tension between their dog and Monty. There was some jealousy issue but its unclear how the situation played out. Until he has been further accessed, right now we recommended he is the only dog in a home

Monty was dog social when he was at lighthouse previously, he would go out with a female friend he would play with.

Monty is leash reactive, so would need some training if he is in a high traffic area.

Other Dogs
Dog Social but should be the only dog in the home.

Unknown - Can be tested

More about this rescue

At Lighthouse Animal Shelter, an all volunteer, 501(c)3 organization, we promote the welfare of animals at risk of euthanasia. We also work with the community to maximize efforts in reducing pet overpopulation.

We rescue the majority of our dogs from high-intake shelters down south (the majority being from Kentucky, South Carolina & North Carolina) and get organize transport to our New Bedford shelter for adoption. We focus on last-call death row dogs.

The cats in our care are all local strays or surrenders and are generally adults to seniors.
