About Matthew

Matthew is one of Momma's Maniacs, a lively puppy almost 8 weeks old, and full of puppy love. He came to the shelter with his mom, Monica, from Browning, and is ready to bring joy and laughter to a new family. With his friendly nature, he loves to play, explore, and snuggle up for a nap. Due to his young age, Matthew will be placed through our Foster-to-Adopt Program. This is in accordance with Montana law, as he isn’t old enough to be altered yet. A $150 refundable deposit is required at adoption, ensuring that he will be spayed or neutered by 6 months old. Once the procedure is completed, simply provide proof from your vet and the deposit will be refunded. If you’re looking for a sweet companion to grow up with you, Matthew could be the perfect fit. Come meet this adorable pup and see if he captures your heart! ❤️🐾 What are you waiting for? Apply today!
