Matthew

Meet Matthew, the North Melbourne shelter's resident "Gentle Giant" who is looking for a couch big enough to share.

At a magnificent 47kg, this Mastiff has a heart even larger than his frame. Although he arrived as a stray, his impeccable manners and soulful gaze prove he was once a deeply cherished companion. He is a true angel who prefers companionship and leaning in for his signature heavy-duty cuddles.

Despite his impressive stature, Matthew is the definition of a soft soul. He moves with a calm dignity and has a remarkable knack for making everyone he meets feel special. Because big, sensitive boys like Matthew find the shelter environment overwhelming, we are eager to find him a forever home where he can finally stretch out his long legs and relax in comfort.

Matthew does have a few health considerations that will need some ongoing attention. Once you feel his heavy head rest on your knee, you'll realize these small steps are a tiny price to pay for the immense loyalty he offers in return.

We are certain that the moment you meet Matthew, any concerns about his size or care will melt away. He is a special boy who deserves to leave the shelter behind for a life of devotion. If you have room in your heart (and your home) for a big angel, please visit our North Melbourne site to meet your new best friend.
