** Great news, Matt found a new home, he was adopted by a loving family during the NAP fair, after they saw him walking in the crowded street and just taking it all in his stride ! **

**Delayed earlier update - Matt was in fact the wrong name… and because I (Ally) misunderstood this at time of publication, I confused all the volunteers ! Ha ha!

In fact Matts real name is Mo and now answers to both !**

Some folks will read the name and instantly recognise this handsome guy. But others will just see him as another dog on the waiting list at the Care for Dogs shelter, looking for a home.

Matt was one of the 5 dogs rescued from near death, after their former owner tried to treat them for ticks and fleas by injecting them with a fluid that should have been diluted and then sprayed on their coats. (Bayticol)

One of the family died but everyone else found a home. Including Matt it seemed. Read more about that rescue here …

Back then he was a cute & gangly legged dog but now he has grown into a handsome chap with distinctive markings and an air to his stance. He is proven to be exceptionally friendly, good with children, travels well and an all round pleasant dog.

Why did he return to the shelter ? (We read minds too!)

Sadly the presence of animals in the home of his new family causes their son to suffer and allergy.

They have tried to work around it and have proved it to be Matt who is causing the allergy by sending Matt to purposely stay at LuckyDogs for a while and sure enough the test worked. Their son’s allergy disappeared.

So, if you or anyone you know, would like to give this great looking guy a home, please contact us as soon as you can.
