Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This is Monty. He looks like he’s seen some things… because he has. He’s got the permanent scowl of a disgruntled DMV employee and the soul of a tired mall security guard who’s just trying to finish his shift. Monty has spent 9.5 years in and out of the shelter system, and frankly? He’s over it. This senior meatball is ready to hang up his leash and retire in peace…preferably on your couch, judging your snack choices and questioning your life decisions. Here’s what Monty brings to the table: ✔️ Fully house-trained, couch-trained, and life-trained ✔️ Barks never, grumbles often ✔️ Follows you around like a suspicious but loyal shadow ✔️ Will press his snoot into your leg when he wants a treat, walk, or existential clarity ✔️ Has the emotional depth of a French film character ✔️ Enjoys short walks, long naps, and complaining about the youth Here’s what Monty doesn’t do: ❌ Children – he’s 75 in dog years and doesn’t have the patience for sticky fingers or shrill voices ❌ Dogs – hard pass. He prefers to be spoiled. ❌ Cats – just, no. ❌ Visitors – unless they bring cheese, in which case he will allow them to exist ❌ Elevators – he prefers the reliable simplicity of stairs ❌ Nonsense – of any kind Monty’s ideal home? Quiet. Chill. No drama. Just you (or you and your boo), a soft couch, some snacks, and a few hours of Judge Judy reruns. Bonus points if you also hate TikTok. 🛋️ Not sure if you’re ready to adopt? We have short-term fostering options like sleepovers! It’s like test-driving the grandpa lifestyle, minus the hard candy and long voicemails. His mushy face and million-dollar underbite are available for the low, low price of FREE because APA! offers a senior discount (aka $0 adoption fee) for dogs over 7. Interested? 📧 Email matchmaker@austinpetsalive.org 📲 Follow him: @adopt_montythepit 📣 Send to a friend who needs a grumpy soulmate.

Meet Benjamin, he goes by Benji for short.He knows a whole lot about good home living and he's ready to apply all his skills to his new home.
