Once comfortable, Monte enjoys receiving pets and spending time near his people. He has shown a sweet, calm demeanor and continues to grow more confident as he builds trust. Monte also walks nicely on leash, making him a great companion for daily walks and outdoor time. With continued positive experiences and encouragement, he has all the potential to thrive.
