PLEASE meet lovely boy Monty, who is a six-year-old American Bulldog in the care of RSPCA Worcester & Mid-Worcestershire Branch.

Sadly, before he came into the charity's care Monty had not been treated well, but you would not realise he's been through bad times when you meet him.

Geraldine Haynes, branch trustee, said: "Monty is one of the nicest natured dogs to have been in the care of the branch. Everyone loves him, he's such a special lad, he loves everyone. He's so laid back, he's almost horizontal!

"Monty is just a lovely, lovely boy who hasn't got a bad bone in his body. Whatever you need to do with him, he just stands there.

"He is the most perfect resident with no urgency about anything - he's got all the time in the world! Monty really deserves a loving home."

Monty really enjoys his walks and is good on the lead. He is neutered, microchipped and vaccinated.

Please ring Geraldine on 01886 822083 if you would like to meet him.
