Monty

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

Monty is a male dog born around 2018 with a shoulder height of approximately 50 cm. He is a very friendly dog who is still quite shy. Overall, he has a gentle and approachable nature. Monty lived together with his female companion Djanga for many years. She was his trusted social partner in the drab shelter life. Djanga has since been able to leave for Germany and lives happily in her home. Monty stayed behind and is waiting for people to give him his chance. He is increasingly withdrawing - a confident second dog to which Monty can orient himself would be wonderful. Update visit August 2026: During the visit in August, Monty showed again how much he suffers from the situation. He still sits alone and waits to finally be discovered. It is hardly understandable - because Monty is a beautiful, social dog, for whom everyday life in isolation is particularly difficult. Dogs like him increasingly withdraw, lose their zest for life and become lonely step by step. That is exactly why Monty now needs people who see him, understand him and finally give him the chance he so urgently deserves. Monty shows himself as a lovable, sensitive shepherd dog mix who is friendly to people, but does not push himself. He is not one of the dogs that loudly demand attention. Instead, he quietly waits to be seen. In a reliable environment and with patient, dog-experienced people by his side, Monty will most likely quickly learn to trust and open up further. We wish Monty a home or foster home that gives him time to settle in. Monty is neutered, microchipped and vaccinated and will be placed through the animal welfare association Vierbeiner in Not e.V. after a positive preliminary check. General note on our protégés: Our dogs in Romania are regularly visited so that we can always re-evaluate their behavior and development. These personal impressions help us very much to convey a possibly good picture of each individual dog. Nevertheless, we would like to point out that a dog in a new environment - with new people, new routines and new impressions - can also show itself differently. This is quite normal and is part of every change process. Many dogs open up faster at home and show sides that were not visible in the shelter at all. Our assessments are therefore based on current observations, but are not a guarantee for every behavior in the new environment. They should give an orientation and show how the dog presents himself in the shelter - and what potential he has. We are convinced: With patience, understanding and a loving environment, every dog can find his way and develop positively.

Monty ist ein etwa 2018 geborener Rüde mit einer Schulterhöhe von rund 50 cm. Er ist ein sehr freundlicher Hund, der noch recht scheu ist. Insgesamt hat er aber ein sanftes und zugewandtes Wesen.Viele Jahre lebte Monty gemeinsam mit seiner Zwingerfreundin Djanga. Sie war sein vertrauter Sozialpartner im tristen Shelteralltag. Djanga durfte inzwischen nach Deutschland ausreisen und lebt dort glücklich in ihrem Zuhause. Monty blieb zurück und wartet darauf, bis Menschen ihm seine Chance geben. Er zieht sich mehr und mehr zurück – ein souveräner Zweithund, an dem sich Monty orientieren kann, wäre wundervoll. Update Besuch August 2026: Beim Besuch im August zeigte Monty erneut, wie sehr er unter der Situation leidet. Er sitzt immer noch allein und wartet darauf, endlich entdeckt zu werden. Es ist kaum zu verstehen – denn Monty ist ein wunderschöner, sozialer Hund, für den der Alltag in Isolation besonders schwer ist. Hunde wie er ziehen sich zunehmend zurück, verlieren Lebensfreude und vereinsamen Schritt für Schritt. Genau deshalb braucht Monty jetzt Menschen, die ihn sehen, verstehen und ihm endlich die Chance geben, die er so dringend verdient.Monty zeigt sich als liebenswerter, sensibler Schäferhund-Mix, der Menschen gegenüber freundlich ist, sich aber nicht aufdrängt. Er gehört nicht zu den Hunden, die laut um Aufmerksamkeit werben. Stattdessen wartet er ruhig darauf, gesehen zu werden. In einer verlässlichen Umgebung und mit geduldigen, hundeerfahrenen Menschen an seiner Seite wird Monty mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit schnell lernen, Vertrauen zu fassen und sich weiter zu öffnen.Für Monty wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause oder eine Pflegestelle, die ihm Zeit gibt, anzukommen. Monty ist kastriert, gechippt und geimpft und wird nach positiver Vorkontrolle über den Tierschutzverein Vierbeiner in Not e.V. vermittelt.Allgemeiner Hinweis zu unseren Schützlingen: Unsere Hunde in Rumänien werden regelmäßig besucht, damit wir ihr Verhalten und ihre Entwicklung immer wieder neu einschätzen können. Diese persönlichen Eindrücke helfen uns sehr, ein möglichst gutes Bild von jedem einzelnen Hund zu vermitteln. Dennoch möchten wir darauf hinweisen, dass sich ein Hund in einer neuen Umgebung – mit neuen Menschen, neuen Abläufen und neuen Eindrücken – auch anders zeigen kann. Das ist ganz normal und gehört zu jedem Veränderungsprozess dazu. Viele Hunde öffnen sich im Zuhause sogar schneller und zeigen Seiten, die im Shelter gar nicht sichtbar waren. Unsere Einschätzungen basieren daher auf aktuellen Beobachtungen, sind aber keine Garantie für jedes Verhalten im neuen Umfeld. Sie sollen eine Orientierung geben und zeigen, wie der Hund sich im Shelter präsentiert – und welches Potenzial in ihm steckt.Wir sind überzeugt: Mit Geduld, Verständnis und einem liebevollen Umfeld kann jeder Hund seinen Weg finden und sich positiv weiterentwickeln.

About Monty

What life with Monty looks like

Monty is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Vierbeiner in Not e.V. in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪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. Vierbeiner in Not e.V. 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 — Vierbeiner in Not e.V. 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 Vierbeiner in Not e.V. 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.
