My story

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

Meet Montana – The Wiggle Machine with a Heart of Gold

Quick Facts:
Name: Montana

Weight: 59 lbs
House-Trained: Yes
Crate-Trained: Working on it—very well-behaved in the home
Other Pets: Cat-selective; best with proper introductions

Energy Level: High—playful, social, and full of bounce
Special Needs: Would benefit from continued training with a confident owner

Why You’ll Love Montana:

  • Overflowing with personality—goofy, affectionate, and always happy to see you

  • House-trained and leash trained

  • Social butterfly who loves people (and UPS drivers!)

  • Loves to play and enjoys walks or backyard zoomies

  • Smart and eager to learn—great for active, experienced dog parents

  • Has an adorable “happy-feet” dance when he gets excited

  • Fully vetted and ready to be someone’s best friend

About Montana’s Breed Mix: American Staffordshire Terrier
American Staffordshire Terrier mixes are affectionate, intelligent, and full of personality. These loyal companions are deeply devoted to their people and thrive when included in daily life. AmStaffs are strong, athletic, and playful, making them ideal for active homes where they can burn off energy and show off their smarts. With consistent training and socialization, they’re often great with other dogs and gentle with children. Confident yet loving, an AmStaff mix is a steady, soulful friend who brings both fun and loyalty into the home.

Montana’s Story & Personality:
Montana arrived severely neglected—emaciated and covered in wounds—but you’d never know it from his joyful spirit. This resilient boy greets everyone with a smile and a tail wag. He’s housetrained, walks beautifully on leash, and is looking for a home that can match his energy and enthusiasm for life.

Montana adores people, especially those who give him attention (bonus points if you’re a delivery driver!). He thrives with structure and would love an adopter who can continue basic training. He’s very intelligent and eager to learn, making him a great student. Because of his exuberance, a home with older kids is ideal—Montana’s happy wiggles and “herding” behavior (yes, he may gently tug your shirt to guide you!) can be a bit much for little ones.

He would truly shine in a household that values playful energy, daily walks, and affection on tap.

Montana’s Perfect Home:

  • Active adopter or family who can keep up with his energy

  • Fenced yard or regular outdoor time to run and play

  • Older children or teens who can enjoy his goofball nature

  • A confident, experienced dog parent to continue training

  • A family who wants a smart, affectionate, social pup to share adventures

Ready to Make Montana Yours?
Montana is neutered, vaccinated, and ready to find a forever family that appreciates his bounce, brains, and boundless heart. If you’re ready for an affectionate companion who will make you smile every day, Montana is your guy.
