About Matt

Matt is a truly special 8-year-old gentleman who may not be the most handsome pup on the block, but he absolutely wins hearts with his incredible personality. Despite a past head injury that resulted in the loss of an ear, Matt has never lost his zest for life or his deep love for people. He's a big boy, weighing in at just over 70 pounds, but he's incredibly gentle and has an old soul. Matt was found wandering in a park, was picked up by animal control, and was sadly scheduled for euthanasia. Thankfully, a hero stepped in at the last minute and gave him a second chance! Now, he's looking for a loving home where he can share the rest of his life. His foster mom says you'll find him at your feet, relaxing, cuddling in your bed, or joyfully rolling on his back in the grass, which is one of his favorite pastimes.
