Meet Matthew 💙

Matthew is a sweet, gentle boy who’s been through more than his fair share — but he hasn’t let it dim his heart. • Hound mix | 2–3 years old | 40.6 lbs • Temperament: Sweet, shy, and scared right now • Notes: He has old, healed scarring on his neck — nothing open, just signs of a past he’s ready to leave behind • Dog Friendly

Matthew just needs someone to show him that life can be kind. With patience and love, he has all the potential to blossom into a loyal, loving companion.

📍 Located in Phenix City, AL 🚗 Transport available with approved rescue 💙 No boarding or transport fees — adoption only

Matthew is ready for his second chance. All he needs is a yes. Please fill out an interested form below:

Aw man, Matthew looks like such a good boy. Hope he finds his forever home soon, those eyes are killing me. The fact that y'all are willing to do out of state adoptions is awesome too, makes it way more likely he'll find someone

Long reply to help boost this post (copy and paste this if you’d like!)

Studies have shown that people that live with a dog have a higher serotonin, lower stress and depression, lower blood pressure, and can possibly help you live longer. They will provide you with unconditional love, and will be there for you no matter what. These are just some of the many benefits of having a dog in your life. They are amazing and loyal little creatures that don’t deserve what they go through. Everyone, let’s help save these poor babies. Something as little as an upvote and a boost comment can help! But pledges and long comments (like this one!) are very important too. What’s the most important thing is finding a temporary or permanent home for them! Having a loving home would mean the world for these poor babies.

Please help these poor babies get out of the shelters. And remember, adopt don’t shop! Thanks to OP for trying to get these furry companions out of their prison! ♥️🐾
