Monty has come into the Rescue, sadly, because his Owner was taken ill in February and died last week. He has spent the time since February in a prestigious Boarding Kennels near his home Town.
He is not neutered, but will be next week. He is other dog friendly, child and people friendly. Monty is a leggy 26/27" to the shoulder.
There is already interest in this lad, so after initial assessment we will be seeing if they are a match.
Photos to follow shortly

I popped a note on to your FB page with one of the pictures Teresa took at her Boarding kennels. My camera is charging and we'll try to get a couple this afternoon but Monty keeps wandering around the garden and wont stay still. In the house he likes lying in the hallway and, in a typical 1930s semi, that is quite small!
Anyway, he seems to be coping with the transition very well but it can't be easy after being an only dog who was suddenly without his owner, in kennels since February, loves Teresa who cared for him with her staff and then suddenly is taken off by two people he doesn't know to a house with four greyhounds to share with. Poor lad.
Monty has decided to join us in the sitting room and is happily stretched out in a corner having a snooze. He is settling, as not long ago he rolled over for tummy rubs. We've started to see a bit of his fun side coming out with a little game with a ball and excited play growling in a strange tone. When he does a little pounce, he does it in a Deerhound way.
Marvellous Monty is 25 inch to his shoulder bones, 24 inch shoulder to root of his tail and underweight at 25.3 kg |

He's really handsome... and has a nice set of boy bits!!! Ha, ha. We were saying that when we walked him and thought it strange they were black! They're coming off on Thursday when Daniel Doherty has a space or earlier if a cancellation comes up!
Monty is such a gentle boy, very quiet at the moment and choosing to lie in the hall. He managed to ask for a tummy rub last night a snuck up on to the couch for a snooze next to me for about 15 minutes but found it too hot. He has plenty of energy so don't label him an old boy as Lurchers have long lives and he loves playing ball. Teresa, who looked after him said he had free play in the paddocks and hasn't been on a lead for about five and a half months so he's a bit eager at the moment. There's no information as to his life before the kennel but his back end is thin and Teresa said he's put on 2 kgs.with her.
