More about Monty

Meet our little gentleman, Monty! He is in a foster home and located at London centre.

Monty is a sweet older gentleman who arrived at Battersea alongside several canine companions from the same home. Since coming into our care, he has shown himself to be a gentle, sensitive soul who has made wonderful progress and continues to show so much potential.

Having had very little experience of the outside world, Monty can initially find new environments overwhelming. However, with patient, gentle support from his carers at Battersea, he has been growing in confidence every day. He has also been receiving extra help to become comfortable wearing walking equipment, as this is all very new to him.

Monty is looking for a quiet home with a secure garden in a peaceful location, where he can continue to build his confidence at his own pace. He will need kind, understanding owners who are happy to take things one paw at a time, allowing him to discover the world gradually and reassuring him along the way.

Although he may be shy to begin with, we have no doubt that once Monty has settled into a loving home, his true personality will shine through. Watching him blossom into a more confident dog will be an incredibly rewarding experience for his future family.

Despite being an older chap who can occasionally be a little unsteady on his feet, Monty still enjoys having a little spring in his step. He has shown some lovely, polite social skills with both people and other dogs, and would be happiest with owners who are patient, gentle and committed to helping him continue his confidence-building journey.

Monty could happily live with another calm, steady dog who can help him settle into home life and enjoy plenty of cosy naps together in a big comfy bed.
