Meet Matthew

Hey there, I'm Matthew! I'm a gentle giant, weighing in at 74 pounds and full of love. After coming to the shelter as a stray, I became a volunteer favorite and am now getting to live life to the fullest in a foster home! I'm as friendly as they come, and all I want is to stay close to my people. My laid-back energy, excellent leash manners, and sweet snuggles make me a joy to live with. Watching the world go by from my comfy spot on the floor is a favorite activity of mine, and wandering around the yard sniffing and exploring is a close second. If you're looking for an extra-large teddy bear with a loyal, loving personality, I might just be the perfect addition to the family.

Could Matthew be your forever companion?
