Meet the wonderfully sweet Mater! 💖 This charming guy carries all the endearing traits of a Great Pyrenees/Aussie Shepherd mix. But let me tell you, his journey hasn’t been a walk in the park. ✨ After bouncing around through several homes for nearly two years, he’s finally found a loving foster family that’s committed to helping him reveal his very best self. 🌟 Now, transitioning to a new home can feel like a big ol' roller coaster ride for Mater, so the recommendation here is foster-to-adopt to ensure he settles in smoothly. This gentle giant has been working hard with a professional trainer to establish a routine and get his anxiety managed with some medication (Fluoxetine). Just imagine that! With a little time and patience, he’s learned how to chill out, focus on his humans, and that the furniture is an ‘invitation only’ zone. 🛋️ In his foster home, Mater has two fabulous female dog friends. He’s got a 45-pound dominant lady and a 75-pound submissive gal, both of whom he plays well with—furniture etiquette and all! However, he can get a bit possessive with toys, so during playtime, those toys get tucked away. But hey, the great news is that he loves to share playtime with the submissive female when toys are around! 🦴 But when it comes to small dogs or cats, let's just say those aren’t his favorites. Too much anxiety and barking at newcomers can make him a bit skittish. So, a quieter home would be a lovely fit! 🌼 Now’s the time for the right family to step in, someone who can continue helping Mater thrive. With a little patience and love, Mater is waiting for his forever family to find him. If you feel a connection to him, apply today through the Buddy App! Your future best friend is eager to welcome you into his heart! 💖
