A little about them

Monte is a truly special mixed-breed dog currently fostered near Cedar Rapids, Iowa. After nearly seven months in a Houston shelter, he has spent almost two years with a loving Texas foster family and is ready for a forever home.

Monte has a balanced personality and enjoys yard time, toys, daily walks, and relaxing on the couch. He can be somewhat independent, but once bonded, he is affectionate, loyal, and loving. He thrives with structure and routine.

Ideal Home

  • A patient home without cats
  • Slow, calm introductions with other dogs
  • He has done well with larger, lower-energy dogs and may enjoy the right companion

Ongoing Health

Monte is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and maintained on monthly preventatives.

Training & Support

  • Recently graduated from a board-and-train program
  • Excellent manners and leash skills
  • Walks well on leash and listens nicely
  • Crate trained

Application Details

  • Please start by contacting the provider through Wags and complete an adoption application; applications are prioritized for responses.
  • Adoption fee: $300
  • Breed and age cannot be guaranteed because many rescue animals are found as strays.

Monte would love a forever family willing to give him the time, patience, structure, and routine he needs to continue thriving.
