About Monty (aka Splash)

Meet Monty - The Happy-Go-Lucky Pup Who Thinks He's a Seal! Monty has quite a story to tell! This sweet boy was found tied to a stop sign in the middle of an intersection in Richmond. Thankfully, a kind college student came to his rescue, bringing him to Northern Virginia, where his parents helped get him to safety with Fancy Cats & Dogs Rescue Team. When Monty first arrived, he had several patches of missing fur, which the vet determined were likely caused by stress. Thankfully, there were no parasites, and after nearly three months in foster care, his beautiful coat has grown back completely. Today, it's thick, shiny, and gorgeous! Monty is perfectly healthy, happy, and ready for his next chapter. Despite his rather heartbreaking start, Monty absolutely loves people and is an affectionate, happy boy. He's also wonderful with other dogs he's met and absolutely LOVES the dog park! He did great with the resident cat in his first temporary home, too, so he may be able to share his home with a feline friend. Now, there's one very important thing you need to know about Monty: HE LOVES TO SWIM! The first time his foster took him for a walk near a creek, Monty jumped right in. Getting him back out was apparently like wrestling a shark! We honestly think he might be part seal! You don't need to live near a lake or creek to make him happy. A little baby pool in the backyard during the spring and summer would probably be heaven for this water-loving boy. But if you do take him to a lake or creek, be sure to use a chew-proof long lead. Otherwise, Monty might just float downstream and never look back! Monty has lots going for him: Leash trained House trained Crate trained Great with other dogs Has done well with a house cat Up-to-date on vaccinations Neutered and microchipped Monty is still a puppy, so he'll need a few more frequent potty breaks throughout the day than a mature adult dog. He's currently around 35 pounds and is expected to reach approximately 40-45 pounds when fully grown. He's a great medium-sized pup with plenty of love and personality to share. And one more thing... Monty might just make a pretty good little watchdog, too! He'll certainly let you know when something catches his attention. After such an unusual and uncertain beginning, Monty deserves a family who will love him, keep him safe, take him on adventures (especially swimming ones!), and give him the forever home he's been waiting for. Monty is ready to trade that lonely stop sign for a front door that leads to his very own home. Could that home be yours? Adoption fee includes: first 2 DAPP, bordetella, deworming, flea preventative, sterilized, heartworm test, microchip Adoption fee: $525.00
