I came to the shelter with some serious skin issues. I`m a sweet, happy boy and I`m receiving good care from the medical team, but this will be a chronic issue for me that will need to be managed by my adopters. My medical care has been very expensive. If you`d like to help me, please consider donating to my
GoFundMe Campaign. It`s an easy way to donate online. Thank you!
Foster notes on Monte:
`Monte is a super sweet 3-year-old pup with a big heart, a goofy personality, and an endless capacity for love. He is fully house-trained and crate-trained. While he doesn’t love his crate, once he’s inside he’s quiet, calm, and well-behaved.
Monte is a super sweet 3-year-old pup with a big heart, a goofy personality, and an endless capacity for love. He is fully house-trained and crate-trained. While he doesn’t love his crate, once he’s inside he’s quiet, calm, and well-behaved.
Monte walks nicely on a leash and absolutely loves car rides. On walks, he’s unfazed by other people and dogs, though passing cars can make him a little nervous. He adores other dogs and can get very excited when meeting them. With slow introductions, he settles more quickly and responds well to gentle guidance as he continues working on his manners.
At his core, Monte is just a really good soul. He leads with love and enthusiasm and sometimes doesn’t realize that not everyone (human or canine!) loves as hard as he does, which is part of what makes him so endearing. He’s a goofy, affectionate boy who truly just wants to love and be loved in return.
There are a few health things to be aware of, but Monte is doing very well and improving every day. He has atopic dermatitis, a common, lifelong environmental allergy that can cause itchy skin and eye irritation. While it isn’t curable, it is very manageable, and Monte handles his care like an absolute champ. His routine includes regular medicated baths and an eye ointment applied twice daily and he’s incredibly easygoing and cooperative for all of it.
Overall, Monte is a resilient, loving, and joyful dog who would thrive in a home willing to continue his simple care routine and spoil him with the love he so freely gives. He has so much love to offer and is ready to share it with his forever family.
He’s just such a good soul — a little goofy, a little unaware, but all heart.`
