My story

Matty is a big old blockheaded beefcake who came to the shelter after a run in with a cactus. We didn’t see the other guy, but poor Matty was pretty beat up! He’s all better now and would love to find a home and family of his own.During one short stay in a foster home Matty loved playing tug o’ war and was described as sweet, friendly and mellow. In another foster home Matty was reportedly housetrained, excellent on leash, and was curious and inquisitive. We learned that he’ll do best in a home without cats, so Matty is looking for a feline- free forever home!“Matty walks like an angel on the leash. He is probably the best walker of all my fosters I`ve had. Super calm and always has a slack leash. I walked him solo and in tandem with my dog and he was easy both ways. He slept quietly all night in his crate. He was also in his crate in the evening for a bit and was mellow and quiet and resting. He is house trained.”Matty is a day trip and pawjama party favorite with tons of rave reviews:“With the most perfect head tilt, Matty is your guy to explore and play with. He rides so well in the car and absolutely loves everyone he meets. He looks strong but is a really good walker.”“We went on a short hike but it was hot out and I didn`t want to push him too much. Matty wants all the affection and loves to be a lap dog. HIGHLY treat motivated!”“Matty is initially excited but calms down quickly. He is sweet and knows his name. He is also great on walks. A bit of training and he will be a wonderful companion. You can`t miss having him as your fur baby!”Matty loves car rides, head scratches and giving kisses- he did slobber in someone’s Eegee, but hey- that’s a small price to pay for spending the day with the best boy ever!! Here’s what Matty’s staff and volunteer friends at the shelter have said:“Matty is a sweet boy who has been in the shelter for too long! Matty can sit and catch treats in the air and loves attention.”“I met Matty for the first time today and he`s super sweet! He was easy to leash up- a little bit of a puller on leash but takes direction well. I brought him into the foster office to hang out for a bit and he was happy to walk around and meet everyone. He is extremely treat- motivated.”“Matty is a sweetheart. He did well with his kennelmate in the yard, but mostly just wanted was to relax and cuddle.”“I took Matty out for a walk today. He was eager to l
