matty b

Matty B may have only spent one night in foster care, but he made quite the impression.

This lovable teenage pup is full of personality, curiosity, and enthusiasm for life. Like many adolescent dogs, he's still learning the rules, but he has already shown that he's a quick learner who wants to figure things out.

During his first night in foster, Matty had a couple of potty-training accidents while learning the routine. Once he realized he was supposed to go outside, he quickly caught on and began circling by the front door when he needed a potty break. He also impressed his foster by sleeping quietly in his crate through the entire night—more than eight hours without a peep.

Matty absolutely loves other dogs and would thrive in a home with a playful canine companion. He's eager to make friends and is always ready for fun, though he could use a little more practice understanding that not every dog wants a playmate directly in their face all the time. His enthusiasm is contagious, and he'd be a great match for another active dog who enjoys wrestling, running, and playing.

He also met a cat during his brief foster stay and did well. Matty was curious and interested, but never aggressive. Like many young dogs, he occasionally needed reminders that cats don't necessarily appreciate the same level of enthusiasm as dogs, but he responded well to redirection.

One thing became clear immediately: Matty loves toys. In true puppy fashion, he carefully emptied the entire toy bin to inspect every available option. He enjoys playing with people as much as he enjoys playing with dogs and can be a little mouthy when excited, but he's very gentle and doesn't bite down.

Despite being an energetic young dog, Matty isn't demanding. He was hesitant to jump onto furniture and seemed perfectly content lounging on the floor near his people.

Because he was only in foster for one night, we're still learning about Matty every day. What we do know is that he's friendly, social, eager to learn, dog-loving, and already showing all the signs of becoming an incredible companion with a little guidance and continued training.

If you're looking for a fun-loving young dog who is ready for adventures, playtime, and learning life's lessons alongside you, Matty B may be your perfect match.

Adoption fees include vaccines up until time of adoption, microchip, spay/neuter and 1st 30 days of free pet insurance.  We are not affiliated with MetLife pet insurance. (you have to sign up for the insurance or it will not go into effect).  Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets.
The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico.  While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances.
