Mattie is a 2-year-old Chocolate Lab/Pit mix with a big, loving personality. She has a playful streak and adores running and spending quality time with her people. While Mattie prefers her introductions slow—especially with men—she shines once she feels safe, revealing just how affectionate and fun she can be. Her earlier experiences made her a bit cautious, so a gentle, patient adopter will get the best from her. Mattie is open to living with other dogs and cats, and can also be a good fit for families with kids over 8 who understand sometimes she needs a little space. She thrives with companionship and enjoys interactive play. Mattie is house trained and up to date on vaccinations. If you’re looking for a loyal, playful companion who will reward kindness with devotion, Mattie is waiting in Arlington, VT. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
