Matcha is a little ball of sunshine in fur form — 4 months old and 25 pounds of pure puppy magic. This Golden Retriever/Shepherd mix has a heart as big as his curiosity and a nose determined to explore the world one sniff at a time. Walks with him are never boring, because he investigates every leaf, every breeze, and every new scent like it’s a grand adventure waiting to be discovered. He’s a playful little explorer with a love for squeaky toys, but he’s just as happy tumbling and cuddling with his siblings, turning every moment into a game or a snuggle session. Matcha is the ultimate shadow pup — wherever you go, he’s right there, pressing close, sharing puppy kisses, and making sure you know you’re his favorite part of the day. Matcha is a confident boy who wants to be friends with everyone he meets — even dogs five times his size. He walks well on a leash and is gentle with kids, cats, and dogs, bringing an easy, joyful presence to any home lucky enough to have him. With Matcha by your side, every day feels brighter, every moment a little more joyful, and every cuddle a memory in the making. 🐾 Matcha is neutered, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, and microchipped. **Please note: completing an "adoption inquiry" via Adopt-a-pet/Petfinder does not constitute an HFG Dog Rescue adoption application. All adoption applications must be completed on www.hfgdr.org** HFG Dog Rescue is a 100 percent foster-based rescue located in Berkeley Heights, NJ with a sister location, The Almost Home Wellness Center, in Aiken, SC. All of our dogs are rescued from kill shelters in SC + GA and once ready for adoption live in loving local NJ foster homes until they find forever families of their own. Our fosters begin basic training, housebreaking, and leash-walking skills to help pair you with the perfect pup for life!
