About Matt

Matt is an 8-year-old gentleman with a heart of gold! Though he may not be the most visually striking pup, his personality shines brighter than any beauty contest winner. He's a big boy, weighing in at just over 70 pounds, but he carries himself with a gentle nature. Matt is an old soul who experienced a serious head injury that resulted in the loss of an ear, but it never diminished his love for people or his zest for life. You can often find him relaxing at your feet, snuggling in bed, or blissfully rolling on his back in the grass – one of his absolute favorite pastimes! He was found wandering in a park, taken to animal control, and was facing euthanasia before a hero intervened. Matt is now looking for a loving home to spend the rest of his days.

Ideal Home

Matt would thrive in a home where he can be close to his people, enjoying relaxing moments, cuddles, and playtime.

Ongoing Health

Matt has a past head injury and is missing an ear, but this does not affect his overall health or his love for life.

Training & Support

Matt is house-trained.

Application Details:

Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
The adoption fee is $100.
