Hi there! I'm Monte and I'm brand new to retirement. Saturday and Sunday were big days for me. I got on a hauler with some other hounds in Florida and we got let off in Virginia where we met some nice folks. They took us the rest of the way to Maryland. I got cleaned up and fit with a cozy winter coat and headed home with my foster mom. Speaking of my foster mom---she keeps telling me that I'm "such a love." That's probably because I just love getting pet. I'd lean into your legs for petting or rest my head in your lap for hours if you'd let me.

So many new things have been happening over the last few days, and I'm just taking it all in stride. I'm pretty good at walking on a leash already, and my foster brother Duck and I love walking side by side around the neighborhood. I also love toys and have taken up a small collection of them in my crate.

It's almost time to get bundled up for our afternoon walk. The weather is the only thing I miss about Florida, but I can't wait to cozy up to my forever family here in the mid-atlantic. Contact Greyt Expectations if you'd like to meet me at the next adoption event!

Here are a few pics:

I knew just what this toy was for!
