About Matey
My name is Gen and my family are fostering Matey at the moment. Lynne asked me to have a go at writing a profile of what it has been like to have him in case it helps with getting him adopted. So I hope the following benefits.
Matey is a real cuddly boy. He loves his humans and always wants to be close. He is a little cheeky (like trying to sneak onto the bed when he thinks you’re sleeping) but it is only because he is looking for a belly rub. He loves his food. I mean, he would eat all day if he was allowed! He is very playful and is gentle around young children. He walks well on a halti, enjoys his walks and being outdoors. But when the family is home, he loves being inside and knowing he is a part of the family.
He might be an older dog but he picks up new learning very well and really wants to please his humans. He has learned to play fetch, use a doggie door and wait for his food until told to eat. During storms, he gets a little scared so providing a nice space for him to feel safe is beneficial. He would suit any family, couple or single that is looking for a loyal dog.
Unfortunately Matey does not like cats.
Adoption details
We list animals for adoption on Pet Rescue as well as on our own Animals-in-Need Website. We talk with people who contact about an animal to see what their needs and situation are. My emphasis is on getting the right animal for the people and the right people for the animal. If everyone's needs are met things usually work out well.
If the situation sounds good we arrange a meeting. If all goes well we let people try the animal out for a couple of weeks to ensure that everyone is happy.
We keep records of all adopters, follow up to ensure all is well and undertake to take back any animal if circumstances change.
