If you would like to provide this dog a loving home, please fill out a pre-adoption application.  Have a question? Please read our Frequently Asked Questions and Adoption Processed Explained documentation. _________ B I O ______________  Name: Montreal Size: ~Medium range: 26-60 lbs  Adoption Donation: $250 (applicable sales tax included). Adoption fees may be paid by cash or check.   Other: Spayed Female, Vaccinations current, Microchip    Montreal is ready to bring some old‑world charm into your life    Foster Home Feedback  10/7/2026 Foster Home Feedback: Montreal or Monty as I lovingly call her, is the definition of “I just want to be your best friend”. Her favorite thing to do is snuggle up with you. This girl is smart. She knows how to sit and shake! She also is fully potty trained and kennel trained. She loves all of her doggy friends and does a good job at reading cues from them - whether they have been a puppy, adult, or older dog. She’s very curious about cats in a similar way as she is to other dogs. This girl is a self entertainer when needed. She loves a good nap or a good bone. We are working on leash manners and lay down right now. She loves exploring the outdoors. Her weirdest quirk is she like an audience for meal time, which is very cute. It’s almost winter time - you will enjoy the personal space heater. To view additional dogs available for adoption, please see our website: www.4luvofdog.org October 8, 2026, 6:10 pm
