About Matcha

Meet Matcha, sometimes called "Matcha Latte," a healthy medium-sized boxer mix in Akron, OH. Estimated at 1-2 years old, Matcha was abandoned and extremely underweight before rescue, but she’s bounced back and is now learning how good life can be. She’s happy, loving, and easygoing, with a deep affection for snuggling on the couch—preferably under a blanket. Toys are her weakness: anything with a squeaker is quickly destroyed, and you’ll get used to picking up stuffing, but the rest of your things are safe. Matcha adores playing with other dogs and is both crate and house trained. She does have a bit of a fear-based reaction when meeting new people, especially men, which suggests a rough past, but with patience, treats, and a gentle approach, she turns into a true love bug—and personal space becomes a thing of the past. The vet’s office is tough for her, sometimes needing muzzling and calming medication, but time and trust could help. Home with older kids is best, as Matcha’s puppy energy is still in full swing, and while she enjoys dog friends, she doesn’t require one. She’s spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on all her shots and preventatives. Give Matcha the patient, supportive home she deserves, and she’ll repay you with love and loyalty.
