About Matt

Meet Matt, an 8-year-old gentleman with a heart of gold! Despite a past head injury that resulted in the loss of an ear, Matt's spirit remains undimmed. He's a big boy, weighing in at just over 70 pounds, but he's incredibly gentle and possesses an old soul. Matt was found wandering in a park and, thanks to a last-minute rescue, was saved from euthanasia. Now, he's looking for a loving home to spend the rest of his days. Matt's foster parent describes him as a dog who may not win beauty contests but certainly wins hearts with his incredible personality. You can often find him relaxing at your feet, snuggling in your bed, or joyfully rolling on his back in the grass – one of his favorite pastimes!
