Mattis is a wonderful, gentle dog who, according to his finder, is very obedient, loves children, and gets along well with female dogs. The finder also noted that Mattis is quite clever and can open doors with sideways handles. While at the shelter, staff have found Mattis to be easy to leash and walk, playful (especially enjoying tug), and very treat-motivated—he sits nicely for cookies and takes them gently. He can be a bit talkative when he plays, adding to his fun personality. Shelter staff have not yet had the opportunity to observe Mattis in playgroup, so his interactions with other dogs in that setting are still unknown. Overall, Mattis has presented as an easygoing, affectionate dog who has done well in both home and shelter environments so far.

More about this shelter
Marion County Animal Services is the largest animal shelter in our county. Operating as a no-kill shelter, our kennels are almost always full. We provide adoption, fostering opportunities, work with rescues, accept volunteers and provide the training for veterinary assisting students. In addition, we run the Neuter Commuter and provide all animal control services in Marion County.
Due to the sheer volume of animals in our care, we need lots of help from our community in our effort to adopt out more and save more!
We don't only accept the ideal animals into our shelter. We can offer you quite the array of animal breeds and personalites! Keep an open mind when visiting our shelter- you may find that your perfect match is not at all what you set out to find.
We're here to help you as well as our homeless and lovable animals.
