Monte is a one year old Bassett Hound/Border Collie Mix.  He came to Needy Paws when his owner reached out for help due to financial hardship.  Monte is a very shy boy and takes some time to warm up.  However once he knows he is safe and feels comfortable, he will be your constant shadow!  Monte likes other dogs, especially confident dogs that will show him the way but yet be patient and give him a chance to settle in.  He has no interest in cats and is scared of young, active kids.  His favorite place to be is cuddled up in your bed with you!!!   He is learning toys are fun to chase and a good game of fetch can wear a guy out.  Even though Monte is a young fella, he is very calm and laid back.  He is potty trained and trust worthy to roam free in the house while you are gone.  He has learned how to walk on a leash recently but still needs some yummy treats for reinforcement.  He would love for his new home to have a fenced yard, as he loves to wonder around the yard and sunbathe on the deck at his foster home!
