Matisse is a 3-year-old, small Terrier/Miniature Poodle mix with a survivor’s spark. After being hit by a car and suffering a fractured pelvis, he bounced back thanks to some impressive resilience and good vet care. He’s on track to make a full recovery and already finds happiness zipping around the house and yard. He’s got a love for chin scratches, belly rubs, and lap time, often choosing a cuddle over chasing toys. Give him a snuffle mat or the promise of treats and he perks right up—he’s sharp and learns new things fast. Matisse handles his leash like a pro and hasn’t had any accidents in foster care, making him as easygoing as he is affectionate. More snuggler than athlete, Matisse is looking for a calm home where his gentle nature and big heart will be appreciated. He gets along well with other dogs and is ready to bond deeply with someone who values both spirit and softness. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
