What kind of home would be best for me? Matthew is a dog that can fit into lots of homes, as long as you are home or plan to take him with you. He’s good with dogs of all sizes, indifferent to cats, and thought gentle kids were okay too. Matthew enjoys other dogs but doesn’t have to have one in his home. What he wants is you. If you live in an apartment or townhouse, be prepared to take Matthew with you when you leave – he wants to be where the action is and will tell you all about it.
What is my personality like? To meet Matthew is to love him. Whatever his past has been, there has been lots of love. Matthew loves people. He loves to be near you. He will follow you closely, cry when you are out of sight, and snuggle up as close as he can get. Matthew is not a dog that is going to spend time in a crate quietly. He is not a dog that will sleep anywhere besides in your bed. If you don’t want a constant companion, Matthew is not your dog.
Matthew is ideal for a home that wants a dog to go everywhere with them. Looking for an office mate – Matthew says sign me up. Running errands – Matthew says he’s in. Going on vacation – he says pack him a suitcase.
How do I act when I first meet new people? Matthew is a true southern gentleman. He is polite, gentle and calm when meeting new people. He enjoys everyone he meets and is happy to make your company!
Other tips and tidbits: Matthew was found as a stray so we have no details on his background. Based on his overall health and condition he is estimated at 10 years old. We celebrate his birthday 11/02/2014.
House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule as long as a physical reason doesn’t keep them from being trained. A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.
