My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Tiny MATTIE! An outgoing social butterfly, Mattie is also super smart! She sits on command, is housebroken, crate trained, and lies down when told to. A great little leash walker, Mattie also loves to run and jump. Her favorite thing: Her BALL! Her favorite game? FETCH, of course! Throw her a ball and she’ll bring it right back to you every time. Truly an awesome little dog, Mattie is sweet, happy, patient, well mannered, a fast learner, and loves being with people. Give her some good petting time and she’s your best fur-ever friend. Indoors, Mattie is a calm dog—outside, she turns up the energy and is eager to play. She plays well with other dogs as long as there is no ball or toy involved. With a ball or toy, she wants it all to herself…so beware! At a mere 12 to 14 lbs., we believe Mattie is a 3-yr-old Boston Terrier/Italian Greyhound mix. She really is just about the perfect dog and is being trained every day to learn how to live in a forever home. Why? Because Mattie is a SECOND CHANCES dog! What is a SECOND CHANCES dog? Bonaparte’s Retreat partners with the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office and its SECOND CHANCES Offender Dog-Training program. We provide rescued shelter dogs and the Sheriff’s Office selects female inmate animal handlers/trainers to live with, love, train, socialize, groom, and prepare the dogs for forever homes. A SECOND CHANCES dog will already have learned many commands and how to live in a home. These really are just about the perfect dogs!
