About Matt

Matt is an 8-year-old sweetheart with a gentlemanly demeanor. While he might not be the most striking dog in appearance, his personality shines brighter than any beauty contest award! He has a serious head injury and lost an ear, but this has never diminished his love for people or his zest for life. You can often find Matt relaxing at your feet, snuggled in your bed, or joyfully rolling on his back in the grass, which is one of his favorite pastimes. He's a large boy, weighing just over 70 pounds, but he's incredibly gentle and possesses an old soul. Matt is looking for a loving, lifelong home. He was found wandering in a park, picked up by animal control, and was facing euthanasia before a hero stepped in to save him.
