Hi there! Monterey here.
I'm still young and full of beans, with a whole lot of love (and a few zoomies) saved up for the right person.
I'm on the bigger side — but honestly, that's just more of me to hug.
I do come with a few special needs, but please don't let that worry you — I just need a patient friend, and I pay it back tenfold.
I'd love to meet you. But if I'm not quite the one, maybe you could do me one tiny favor — print my bio and pop it up somewhere a future best friend might spot it. Who knows, I might see you at the park someday! Either way, thank you for stopping by and giving me a moment. It really did mean a lot. — Monterey 🐾
The rescue’s notes on Monterey
Monterey – Curious, Playful, and Full of Enthusiasm Monterey is a 3-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier mix weighing 79 pounds with a sweet, fun-loving personality and a zest for exploration. Enthusiastic explorer: Monterey pulls only mildly on leash and is eager to investigate interesting sights, sounds, and smells. Social and people-oriented: Although he enjoys exploring independently, Monterey is quick to greet people and happily comes over for attention. When called for a hand touch, he often enthusiastically raced over to make contact and reconnect with his person. Playful and energetic: Monterey enjoys zooming around the yard and also the game of fetch, dropping the ball at your feet for the next round. Gentle manners: While he doesn't appear to know "sit" yet, he takes treats very politely. His food motivation make him a great candidate for continued training. Monterey would do best with appropriately matched dogs or as a solo dog with dog friends outside the home.
