About Mater

Meet Mater, a gentle 9-year-old Labrador Retriever mix weighing 85 lbs, who knows how to bring joy into everyday life. This sweet-natured boy is house-trained, easygoing, and absolutely adores being next to his human, especially when belly rubs are involved. He thrives on affection and enjoys leisurely strolls, greeting everyone with a wagging tail and an open heart. While he doesn’t need a big yard to be happy, he loves rolling in the grass whenever he gets a chance. Mater is friendly with other dogs and enjoys spending time with his canine foster brother. Though he isn’t too fond of loud noises like vacuum cleaners, he’s great company at home. Mater likes to chew on a tennis ball now and then, and while he may jump up a bit when excited, he means no harm—he just gets a little enthusiastic at times. Because of this, he’d thrive best in a home without very young children. If you believe you can offer Mater the loving home he deserves, apply today to meet him!
