About Matt

Matt is a 8-year-old gentleman who may not win any beauty contests, but he definitely wins first place in personality! Despite a serious head injury that resulted in the loss of an ear, Matt's spirit remains unbroken. He has an unwavering love for people and life itself. You can find Matt wherever you are – at your feet while you relax, snuggled up in your bed, or joyfully rolling on his back in the grass, one of his favorite pastimes. He's a big boy, weighing in at just over 70 pounds, but he is incredibly gentle. Matt is an old soul looking for a forever home filled with love. He was found wandering in a park and was facing euthanasia when a hero stepped in to save him.
