Matty - Carolina Dog and Australian Kelpie Dog for Adoption in Stanton, Kentucky

Matty is a petite package of about 20 lbs currently at 4 months old. He is sharing a foster home with his twin sister. They are having a big time enjoying other dogs and getting introduced to cats. This foster parent enjoys their antics, but is ready to find their next home so another dog can be brought to safety. Matty is slightly more cautios with new folks, but enjoys everything which is extra special considering being so frightened in the shelter. We did a doggie scan with his photo to determine a possible breed mix! Carolina dog and Kelpie came through strongest with a couple other things! We can't be certain, of course, but he and sister are definitely on the miniature side of both and VERY sharpe looking.

Contact his foster parent, Teresa, with inquiries. Applications are required. Her fee is $200 and includes her spay and vetting. Stidshs@bellsouth.net
