Monte (BAS) Plott Hound & Shih Tzu Mix Lenoir, NC

Meet Monte

Monte was surrendered to our local animal control agency by his owner in Dec. 2023. There's no telling what prompted their decision, but it wasn't because Monte is difficult. He's one of the sweetest pups in our care!

With a guesstimated birthday in Feb. 2023, he weighed about 35 lb at his vet exam in Feb. 2024. He is built like a shih tzu, although a bit taller, and has the Plott hound color of black with brindle trim (on his legs and face).

Monte's behavior assessment: happy guy. He gets along with other polite dogs and loves people.

Monte is being housed in our Bunch Anderson Shelter Building (BAS).
**************************************************
Whether dogs / puppies come in as strays or owner surrenders, we make our best guess as to birthdate and breed.

If adopted into a home with other animals, particularly cats, your new pet should be crated or secured when you're not available to supervise to insure a harmonious relationship.

For adult dogs, our adoption fee covers a standard canine vaccine, a rabies vaccine, heartworm (HW) test, HW prevention, and deworming if recommended by our vet.

Puppies will have two vaccinations, deworming, and heartworm prevention if age-appropriate. An additional fee for the 3rd puppy vaccination and rabies vaccination, if administered, will be added to the adoption fee.

If you are adopting an intact dog, a refundable spay/neuter deposit is required, and a vet reference may be required.

Foster dogs are shown on a rotating schedule at our Saturday Adoption Events which occur several times a month at Waggin Tail Resale store located at 220 Joyceton Church Rd, Lenoir. Additionally, Meet & Greets can be scheduled with a specific dog on Saturdays (11am-3pm) in our Adoption Center at Waggin' Tail Resale. Additional times for Meet & Greets may be scheduled depending on the schedules of Adoption Counselors and Foster Parents.

Shelter Dogs can be seen at the Bunch Anderson Shelter on Saturdays from 12pm-3:30pm, or by appointment. To request an appointment, e-mail: info@foothillscaninerescue.org. We will respond within 24-48 hours M-F. (BAS is also located at 220 Joyceton Church Rd)
