Name: Matty
Breed: Maltese X ?
Age: Nearly 1
Sex: Male
Good with dogs: Yes
Good with cats: Not Known
Good with children: Adult home only

Meet Matty, our little lad who is a delightful mixed bag of tricks. Whilst we were led to believe he has some Maltese in him, there is definitely something else in his mix, with his size and differing coat.

Being so young, Matty has a fun, cheeky, mischievous side but he can also be a bit of a worrier when being handled. We’re looking for an understanding home who will give him time to gain confidence and positively reinforce that coming when called, doesn’t need to be scary. He will also give a little squeak if you make an unexpected movement.

Matty does love his food and treats so this will help with his ongoing training. Matty could live with another dog of a similar size to him or be an only dog. He loved his travel buddy Misty the chihuahua and has been fine when out and about in the car and enjoys his walks. Matty has a beautiful long coat that will need regular attention and grooming, please bear in mind the additional cost that this can incur.

Matty is a super chap that has had a false start in life and now needs to be settled in his life long home. Could this be with you?
