Matcha

Well hi and hello how are you going? My name is Matcha and I've been told I am a fun loving sweetheart who is sweetest, most affectionate, fun lovin, 11 months and 2 week old Cocker Spaniel x my foster mum has ever met!

My foster mum says I’m an adorable, cuddle bug, and as handsome as they come, but a bit more Zoolander than Hemsworth. I have an excellent sense of humour and you will need one too if we’re going to be a perfect match.

I’m an active teen and will chase a ball or toy (and bring it back to you) for as long as I can convince you to throw it. I love a game of tug and have learned to give when asked, which makes the game so much more fun!

I love other dogs and am a friendly fellow that mostly follows the rules, but as I’m young and full of beans I can get a bit over excited at times. A tolerant doggy friend in my new home would be wonderful, I dream of having an older sibling who can show me the ropes and become my best buddy.

I could be an only dog in the right circumstances too, but you will need to make sure you meet my daily requirements for training, company, exercise and enrichment to keep me happy. Maybe we could take up a dog sport to keep us both fit and healthy!

I love going for walks but need you to continue my training to help me stay relaxed. I can get over stimulated when there’s lots going on which makes me a bit bouncy. I have been responding well to reward based training and am very clever and want to learn.

Because I can be bouncy I am probably better suited to older kids. I might knock little ones over in my excitement to love them! I live with a couple of teens here and they are the best ball throwers going!

I can sometimes be a bit nervous when meeting new people. It really depends on the people and the situation though, and 90 percent of the time I have no reservations at all. If you let me warm up in my own time I come around pretty quickly the other 10 per cent too.

I have previously lived in an inner city apartment which didn’t really suit me, so I’m seeking a home with a yard at least big enough to throw a ball in, and where I’m allowed inside to be loved as part of the family.

I’m toilet trained and use a doggy door to take myself out, sleep happily overnight in my crate, and have not barked once since being in foster care. In fact I get a bit worried when my foster brothers bark and I can’t figure out what the fuss is all about!

I am not tested on cats but if they want to be my friend I would probably happily be theirs as well - just no claws pls.

If your heart is open, your toy box is full, and you’re ready to commit, hit the apply button, and let’s make things official!
