Matt was posted on a Facebook and his g=foster momma went to his rescue after seeing him on a mattress by dumpster for 2 days. Needy paws stepped in to help Matt fight. He was heartworm positive and while waiting for treatment we learned so much about him. He is good with other dogs but needs slow and proper introductions.We are Not sure about small dogs or cats, which we would need to test for. He is a big lovable bear and I'm sure he would do good in a home with children 12 and older. Matt us terrified of thunderstorms and absolutely does not like yelling or any loud behavior. He gets anxiety pretty easy. He just wants to be next to you, to lay on the couch, be your best bed and love you as  much as you can love him. He is very playful, he will go and catch a stick. He isn't bringing it back.. He loves , and I mean loves to spend time with his person and go for a walk. So if ya want a big lovable blue bear, then Matt.
