Mattie is a sweet little lamb, following his foster people around the house hoping for snacks! He was in ruff shape when he came to POMDR, but with the loving care of his foster family and attention to his medical needs, he has become a new dog! We have determined that Mattie is hard of hearing, but you wouldn't notice it for how attentive he is to his surroundings.

He is on inexpensive medications for Cushing's Disease and low thyroid. Luckily, he is a champ at taking his meds!

He does very well around other dogs and is super food motivated! Besides meal time, and snack time, Mattie also loves his naps. He loves to wander around the yard, and explore the house-he doesn't really need leash walks. He gets his steps in around the house!! He does just fine being left at home, and would likely get along fine with cat friends.

Mattie joined us from Los Banos Animal Services after being found as a stray. They realized it was in Mattie's best interest to land with a senior dog rescue. We're happy to report that Mattie is on the path to a whole new life! Can you be his forever home?
