Meet Monte, a 7–8-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix who is ready for a peaceful life filled with comfort and affection. After spending much of his life surviving neglect, Monte is now discovering the joy of soft beds, steady routines, and being loved by a family.

Monte has bow-legged back legs and walks a little like a duck, but veterinary evaluation found that he has no special needs. He is a relaxed older dog who enjoys calmer canine companions and plenty of affection.
