Story
Hi, Im MATTIE and Im a neutered male Lhasa Apso/Poodle mix. Im very handsome, if I do say so myself. My good friends at Coastal Poodle Rescue are going to help me find a wonderful home since my Mommy had to go into an assisted living facility and I couldnt go with her. Im up to date with all my vaccines and tests, I had a dental and I`m on monthly heartworm and flea/tick prevention. I do need eye drops for dry eye but I dont make a fuss. My foster Mom says that Im an absolute joy. Guess that means that Im a good boy! Im friendly, happy and energetic. She does say that I need an experienced, patient dog owner who will understand me and give me time to adjust to a new home. I wont eat dry food but really love Fresh Pet for small dogs or Tender Chicken recipe. You know what I really LOVE!!! My morning and evening walks; Im perfect on a leash as long as I walk on your right side and all the neighbors think Im a very handsome boy. I check all the mailboxes in the neighborhood in case another dog left a message for me. If I meet another dog on my walks, I get so excited and want to play. I love to ride in the car and maybe go to Home Depot or Dairy Queen. Im very well behaved in public. I am so good when Im bathed and I dont mind being brushed. I never jump up on the furniture unless Im invited. Im not real crazy about sitting on your lap but I will sit close. I havent had one accident since coming into foster care. I will bark when I want to go outside. In fact, Ill bark at just about anything I want so my foster mom says I shouldnt be in a condo or apartment. You know what would be really nice? Another doggie friend to play with. I can play by myself with my toys and throw them around, and I throw my chew stick or Milkbone around the house all day! Id really like a fenced backyard and very patient adults who will give me time to adjust to my new surroundings. Could that be you?
