Meet Monty! A spirited three-year-old Shepherd mix currently in Youngsville, NC, whose gentle soul and handsome tan coat come wrapped in equal parts sweetness, caution, and wonderfully quirky charm. At about 40 pounds, this medium-sized boy is a devoted homebody who firmly believes the backyard offers all the adventure anyone could possibly need! Monty does not believe in instant friendships. Strangers make him nervous, and his attempts at playing protector often look more like barking from a very safe distance while trembling. Think security system with anxiety. Give him time, patience, and space, though, and something beautiful happens. Once Monty decides you are trustworthy, he becomes an affectionate companion who loves deeply, seeks attention, and happily sticks close like a small, emotionally dependent shadow. Other dogs are Monty’s confidence boosters! He loves canine companionship and needs a friendly, confident dog in his new loving home to help him feel secure and grounded. He is also compatible with cats and horses. An adult home is suitable for Monty right now because children are unfamiliar and may feel overwhelming. His favorite days are refreshingly simple: playing…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
