Story
Mater! ❤️
Meet Mater, an incredibly sweet and affectionate Bernese Mountain Dog/Standard Poodle mix who is ready to find his forever family!
At about 35 lbs., Mater is a playful, social, adventurous boy who loves his people and wants to be part of the fun. He’s affectionate, enthusiastic about life, and ready for a family who will include him in their everyday adventures.
Mater has done very well meeting a variety of dogs at the sanctuary. He loves to play, communicates appropriately with other dogs, responds well to boundaries and corrections, and is easy to redirect. He can be an enthusiastic playmate, so canine friends who enjoy an energetic and playful companion would be a great fit.
Mater absolutely LOVES the water! If you’re looking for a buddy for hikes, outdoor adventures, exploring, or days spent playing in the water, Mater will happily volunteer. He knows some basic cues, listens well, and is very people-oriented, making him eager to engage with his handlers.
Mater came to us with his brother, Lightning, and after spending about a month getting to know them, we’ve learned that these boys are much more independent than we initially thought. They both enjoy other dogs, are comfortable apart, and aren’t reliant on one another. We believe Mater will thrive with the opportunity to bond with a family of his very own.
We think Mater could do wonderfully with children 8 and over and would thrive with an active family committed to giving him plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection, and opportunities to be included in everyday life. Due to his high energy and play style, we recommend a household with no cats.
If you’re looking for a loving, goofy, water-loving companion who is ready for adventures and plenty of affection, Mater may be your perfect match! ❤️
Mater's adoption fee is $295 and he is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.
