Mattie

Mattie, age  3

MATCHED

Though Mattie has already been matched to a home, everyone wants to know about this lovely gal, so here’s the story as far as we know it: 

Mattie and her Great Dane friend were surrendered to the shelter by a very sad gentleman who could no longer afford to keep his dogs. It was “no room at the inn” that day, so the staff put out emergency calls to all the breed-specific rescues: “Please come TODAY if you can!”  

We did, and collected the blonde bombshell—well, actually right now she looks more like a blonde bomb, weighing in at a whopping 112 pounds. Blood tests revealed a perfectly normal thyroid level, so it looks like the tried & true method of “eat less and exercise” is all that’s needed to turn her into a sylph. Poor Mattie also had infections in both eyes and both ears, but of course she’s being treated for that and will soon be in the clear.  

Mattie is wonderful with young children and other dogs, but she does like to chase cats, so her new family is on the alert as far as kitty interactions are concerned.  

We’re hoping to get some “after” shots in a few months showing Mattie looking slim, trim, and bright-eyed!

With rings on her fingers, and bells on her toes,

She shall have music wherever she goes! 

Just check out beautiful Mattie after a luxurious spa day. She might not have bells on her toes, but with her perfectly coiffed platinum fur, girly hair bows, and sparkly heart tag she is definitely singing “I feel pretty, oh so pretty!” That smile says it all.
