Monte is a gleeful, playful dog who loves toys and enjoys running out his zoomies. He uses his custom Bailey Chair like a pro, hopping right in at mealtimes, and his chair will accompany him to his adoptive home.

Ideal Home

Monte is a big boy who will do best with consistent, individualized training and supervision while he works on impulse control. He is a little behind in socialization after spending much of his life in a shelter environment and may be unsure around new people or bark at things that make him apprehensive. Proper introductions are essential, and he would likely thrive in a quieter neighborhood away from sidewalk snacks and scary skateboarders.

Ongoing Health

Monte has megaesophagus, a condition in which the esophagus is enlarged and does not function properly to keep food down. He eats a special diet three times daily and must remain upright in his Bailey Chair during meals and for 10–15 minutes afterward. If he ingests anything between meals, he will need to sit in his chair. Veterinary recommendations guide his care.

Training & Support

Monte is highly toy motivated and has been learning basic skills. His condition means standard treats cannot be used for training, though he enjoys special treats made for dogs with his condition. He loves toys and will need ongoing supervision and unique, consistent training.
