Monty, aka Monster Mash, was welcomed into our home on May 17th 2015 as our foster dog after driving half way to pick him up in Bedford, PA from Maxine who graciously drove the other half way to meet up with us. From the moment my husband & I met him, we knew he probably wouldn’t be a foster dog for very long.
I must say that I was very worried that things wouldn’t work out because Monty was blind and we had no experience with a blind dog, but after 24 hours of Monty being in our home, we knew he wasn’t leaving. All the worrying and what-ifs just went away. He adapted to us and we adapted to him. He had found his forever home with us because no other family could possibly love him as much as we already did. He was our boy and we could not let him go!
Monty is a funny dog, with so many quirky ways about him. He LOVES food, treats, his dog beds and of course, he loves all of the attention and love he gets from everyone in our home. We have two teenage daughters that absolutely adore him, and we also have a 13 year old cocker spaniel girl named Jessie that enjoys Monty’s company very much. They get along very well and have become quite the pair! Jessie is completely deaf and Monty is blind, so together they complete each other. About a year and ½ ago we lost our other cocker, Sammie Jo (CSAC Alum) to cancer. She passed away about 2 weeks before her 14th birthday. Ever since we lost her, our home just wasn’t the same and Jessie really missed the companionship of another dog, so Monty has been a big blessing to our entire family.
I’d like to thank Judy for alerting me that there was a blind senior boy that needed a foster home. Judy, Monty has been the perfect addition to our family and we couldn’t be more grateful to you & CSAC. I would also like to thank Maxine and her husband for driving Monty to Bedford to meet us. And one last thank you to Janni for reassuring me that blind dogs are amazing and adjust well. Janni, blind dogs really do rock! Thanks everyone!
