Support and Health

How much training will I need?

Needs some support

Can I be left alone?

Yes

Monty was settled when left for 4-5 hours in his previous home.

It is recommended that this is built up once he has settled in to a new environment.

Do I have any medical conditions?

Existing conditions

Monty has multiple medical conditions, that will require consideration before this pet is rehomed. Our rehoming team will be able to give you further information if you apply to rehome them and you are a successful match.  

We would also advise that any medical conditions, be that historic or ongoing, are discussed with your own vet prior to taking them home. 

Due to the nature of the medical condition, a vet call with one of our onsite vets will be required before the pet goes home. 

Who I can live with

Can I live with dogs?

No

Can I live with cats?

Yes, conditionally - A bold, dog savvy cat following correct introductions.

Can I live with small pets?

Yes, conditionally - Securely Housed.

Additional information

Monty would prefer to be the only dog in the home as he doesn’t gain very much from interactions with other dogs.

Family and environment

What kind of family am I looking for?

Monty can be an independent boy, who doesn’t always seek out fuss. Although will happily accept it when he’s in the mood.

Due to this he will need his new home to be adults only.

What type of environment would suit me?

Monty loves to potter round and sometimes prefers toileting in a garden than when out on walks.

Therefore, we feel he would benefit from his own private garden.

About Monty

Monty is a charming little Shih Tzu with a big heart and a playful spirit. At just three years old, he’s full of life, affection, and love to share.

This sweet boy has a friendly nature and adores being around people — whether it’s cuddling up on the sofa or enjoying a gentle walk together.

Monty is looking for a quiet and loving home where he can relax and thrive. He would be happiest with someone who has plenty of time to spend with him — a calm environment where he can be the center of attention and return all the love he receives.

Shih Tzus are calm and caring companions who love to be with people. Learn more about the breed at Ask Woodgreen.
