About Mattie

Mattie was found in the middle of a busy intersection, which gives a glimpse into her resilient spirit. After spending time in her finder’s garage and getting along well with their young child, she has settled in well at the shelter. Although she’s a bit nervous around other dogs, with slow introductions, she’s likely to become more comfortable and find her perfect canine companion. Always eager for attention, Mattie’s tail never seems to stop wagging except when she drifts off to sleep. Her kennel remains tidy, which suggests she may be house-trained. This sweet girl deserves a forever family that will gently help her integrate into her new home. As part of our in-person adoption process, we recommend you meet and greet her with other dogs and children to ensure a great fit. We cannot test her with cats. Our dogs are all spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. Remember, adopting a pet is a commitment; if you’re unsure about being able to provide forever, please wait. Come meet Mattie at our shelter in Statesville, NC. She may be just the companion you’ve been looking for! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
