Meet Monty!
Monty is a strikingly handsome and smart 8-month-old Border Collie / Australian Kelpie pup. He’s neutered, up to date on his doggie shots, and he has no known health issues.
He’s a very social little guy! He wants to say hi to everyone he meets when he’s out and about; then when he’s back home (and not busy doing puppy things) he loves to sit in your lap and cuddle. Out on leash and in social situations he’s very happy to meet new dogs, and he’s learning (since he’s still a puppy) their doggie social cues when they’re not ready to play with him. He loves car rides, back scratches, and ear and belly rubs!
Monty will need a fenced yard or acreage with active adopters who can take him for runs, walks, hikes and a lot of fun adventures. This is a boy who needs a lot of mental and physical stimulation — normal for a Border Collie / Kelpie mix puppy — so a good force-free training program and adopters who can take the time to give him a lot of toys, attention and one-on-one playtime would be great. He’ll thrive in a calm home with frequent chances to run and expend all of his puppy energy.
For the right adopters, he might make a great agility dog or herding dog. He was tested with goats and sheep, and he did great and really loved it. He was also tested by an agility trainer and said he’d be a great beginner agility dog.
Because he’s such an active guy and a herding breed, we’re saying no kids in the home; and hopefully any other dog in the home will be as enthusiastic about playing as Monty is — i.e. no slow-moving or elderly dogs, please and thanks.
He’s been tested around a cat for about a week and he was fine with the kitty — but adopters with kitties need to know this is always cat-specific, and results may vary.
For more info on this really great boy, send us an email at [email protected], telling us a bit about yourself, your home environment and your lifestyle. A volunteer will get back to you shortly.

Disclaimer: The companion animal you are interested in is a courtesy post. Summit Dog Rescue often helps dogs and cats outside our organization to find their forever homes, and these are called "courtesy posts.” By courtesy posting pets from owners and other rescues, we offer our website (and sometimes email assistance) as a resouce to help their pet gain extra exposure. The pet’s bio comes directly from the owner or rescue, and we expect them to provide accurate information, to the best of their knowledge. Summit Dog Rescue in most cases has not met or evaluated these companion animals, so no information about a courtesy post dog or cat is guaranteed. We cannot accept responsibility for any injury or damages to any person or property caused by any courtesy post animals. Courtesy post pets are the sole responsibility of the owner and the adopter. In addition, SDR cannot take these pets in if the courtesy post adoption does not work out.
Also, although we occasionally might ask you to email us (if you’re interested in adopting a courtesy post pet), it’s just so we can help the owner or rescue connect with applicants. You’ll be adopting your new pet directly from the owner or the other rescue, not from Summit Dog Rescue. Please let us know if you’re comfortable with us sharing your information with the owner of the courtesy post pet.
