About Matthew

Meet the delightful Matthew! This one-year-old Sheepadoodle is a charming bundle of joy weighing in at 49 lbs. šŸ•ā¤ļø With a heart as big as his fluffy coat, Matthew is ready to steal the spotlight in your life! This sweet boy can't help but make friends everywhere he goes. The moment he meets you, you’ll feel like his best buddy! And let me tell you, he’s a true New Yorker— unfazed by the bustling city noise. Sirens? Check! Crowds? Bring it on! šŸ™ļø But wait, there's more! Matthew has a knack for being a social butterfly, eagerly greeting everyone who crosses his path. He's gentle with dogs, but oh boy, does he have some energetic puppy antics! He’ll need a savvy adopter who can provide the training and structure he craves. Picture this: daily walks that last at least 90 minutes, plus lots of brain games to keep him mentally stimulated! šŸ§ šŸŽ¾ But don’t worry, he’s a quick learner who just needs some guidance and patience. Matthew is a cuddly guy when the mood strikes, but he also knows how to entertain himself during downtime—he loves to 'destruct' his toys (just a fancy way of saying he enjoys the ripping part, not the eating! šŸŽ‰) However, be prepared for some mouthy moments because this playful pup often doesn’t realize just how big and strong he is! 🐾 Oh, and let's discuss your ideal living situation! This charming fellow is looking for a home where there's maturity and a calm environment. Little kids? Maybe not just yet. He can be rambunctious and a bit mouthy, so a low-key household would be perfect for him. Matthew's playful spirit might be too much for young children, so adult supervision is recommended. When it comes to leash manners, Matthew is still learning but showing great promise! He might pull a little, especially when he spots a bird or a new dog friend, but with proper training, he’ll master those walks in no time. As for potty training, he's doing well, although he’s had a few accidents. A consistent routine after meals will help him excel in this area. And don’t let separation anxiety worry you! He might whimper for a minute when you leave, but he settles down quickly. Matthew is not at the Social Tees office; he's enjoying life in foster care, waiting for a loving home like yours! If you’re ready to welcome this big, sweet baby into your heart, you must apply through the Buddy App. You don’t want to miss out on this lovable fluffball! Don’t wait—Matthew is excited to meet you!
