Adopt Monty

Beagle · Male · Senior · 10 years

Pet name: Monty. Breed: Beagle mix. Gender: male/neutered. Age: born 30.01.2016. Size/Weight: 23 kg. In the animal shelter since: 15.12.2021. Special features: Monty, born on 30.01.2016, is a real ray of sunshine at first glance: friendly to people – whether familiar or strangers – open, curious, and always eager to be in the middle of things. He loves going for walks, has no problem with car rides, and can reliably handle being left alone. At home, he is mostly calm, sleeps a lot, and seems balanced. However, Monty is not just the charming Beagle next door – he also comes with his own set of challenges: he has a strong resource guarding behavior, displays predatory aggression, and reacts to stressful moments with over-the-top actions. Anything that moves quickly – other dogs, cars, motorcycles – is loudly commented on and sometimes aggressively pestered by him. Whoever takes in Monty must be aware that wearing a muzzle around the clock in the beginning is a must. When Monty loses control and wants to injure, he can hit very hard and cause serious injuries. A clear, consistent leadership and a structured daily routine are therefore essential for him. Monty is definitely a solitary dog and will not be rehomed with small children. We are looking for a home with a garden where he can settle in and is not constantly exposed to stimuli. People with dog experience who are willing to work on his issues with patience and clarity will find in him a sensitive but also very loyal companion.

Tiername: Monty. Rasse: Beagle-Mix. Geschlecht: männlich/kastriertAlter: geb. 30.01.2016Größe/Gewicht: 23 kgim Tierheim seit: 15.12.2021Besonderheiten:Monty, geboren am 30.01.2016, ist auf den ersten Blick ein echter Sonnenschein: freundlich zu Menschen – ganz gleich, ob bekannt oder fremd – offen, neugierig und gerne mittendrin. Spaziergänge findet er großartig, Autofahren ist für ihn kein Problem, und auch das Alleinbleiben beherrscht er zuverlässig. Zuhause zeigt er sich meist ruhig, schläft viel und wirkt ausgeglichen.Doch Monty ist nicht nur der charmante Beagle von nebenan – er bringt auch seine Herausforderungen mit: Er hat eine ausgeprägte Ressourcenverteidigung, zeigt Beuteaggression und reagiert in stressigen Momenten mit Übersprungshandlungen. Alles, was sich schnell bewegt – andere Hunde, Autos, Motorräder – wird von ihm lautstark kommentiert und teils deutlich gepöbelt.Wer Monty aufnimmt, muss sich bewusst sein, dass das Tragen eines Maulkorbs in der Anfangszeit rund um die Uhr ein Muss ist. Wenn Monty ausrastet und verletzen möchte, dann kann er sehr stark zuschlagen und ernsthafte Verletzungen verursachen. Eine klare, konsequente Führung und ein strukturierter Alltag sind bei ihm daher unverzichtbar.Monty ist definitiv ein Einzelhund und wird nicht zu kleinen Kindern vermittelt. Für ihn suchen wir ein Zuhause mit Garten, in dem er ankommen darf und nicht ständig Reizen ausgesetzt ist. Menschen mit Hundeerfahrung, die bereit sind, mit Geduld und Klarheit an seinen Baustellen zu arbeiten, bekommen mit ihm einen sensiblen, aber auch sehr loyalen Gefährten.

About Monty

What life with Monty looks like

Monty is a large senior beagle dog waiting at Tierheim Lübbersdorf in Germany.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Monty, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Monty?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Lübbersdorf handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Monty on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Monty if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Lübbersdorf will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Monty already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Monty isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierheim Lübbersdorf early rather than rehoming privately; they know Monty and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
