Hiya everyone! My name's Montana, and if you're looking for a friend to adventure with, I may just be the perfect fit!I'm a very playful pup, and I love toys of all kinds! Stuffed animals are my favorite - I love to carry one around with me on walks. I'll show you when we meet!Romping in the yard is fun, but I'm also having a blast on the OHS running team! My friends here think I would do great with an active family that can provide me with lots of outlets for my energy. Let's check some hikes off your bucket list!After I've gotten my energy out, I love to cuddle up with my favorite humans. Who doesn't want hugs and kisses from an adorable dog?I've had fun playing with other dogs here at the shelter. I do best with larger dogs, my playstyle may be too much for smaller dogs. If you have a canine friend in your home, I'd love to meet them at the shelter.Guess what else? I am part of the Diamond in the Ruff program, which you can learn more about here.. Basically, we'll get to spend plenty of time together before you officially adopt me! I'd love to get to know you - maybe you'd like to get to know me too? Then come stop by and meet me!
