Mattie is a small senior Poodle mix with a gentle presence and a heart that still beats for treats. He shadows his foster family around the house, always hopeful for a snack or a little attention. When he arrived, Mattie was in rough shape, but consistent care and proper medications have turned his world around. He’s hard of hearing, though it barely shows—you’ll find him alert and curious, always aware of his surroundings. His daily routine is simple: medication for Cushing’s Disease and low thyroid (which he takes with ease), meal time, snack time, and plenty of good naps. Mattie enjoys puttering around indoors and outside in the yard, so he doesn’t really need leash walks. He does well with other dogs and likely wouldn’t mind a cat companion either. Content to be left alone when needed, this mellow guy is ready for the quiet comforts of a real home. Adopted from Los Banos Animal Services, he’s come a long way and is ready for a fresh start. Your steady companionship could be what completes his new chapter. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
