Matthew - Hound Dog for Adoption in Windsor Locks, Connecticut

Meet Matthew



Hi there! I'm Matthew, a handsome little hound pup born on 2/22/26, and I've been living life at full speed ever since! At 3.5 months old, I weigh about 20-25 lbs.



I'm an adventurous guy with a nose for fun. If there's something new to explore, sniff, or investigate, you can bet I'll be first in line. Digging holes? Love it. Making new friends? Even better! I've love kids and other dogs; I've even met a turtle and a toad, and I thought they were pretty cool too.



When my adventures are done, I'm all about the cuddles. Belly rubs, kisses, cozy blankets, and snuggling up with my favorite humans are some of my favorite things. I have some pretty adorable sleeping habits too — you'll often find me snoozing belly-up or with my head tucked under a pillow.



I'm a good boy in my kennel at night and when my humans are away. I'm still working on my indoor manners and I'm making great progress, but I'll need a patient family to help me keep learning. Like most puppies, I'm also a world-class chewer, so plenty of toys are a must unless you'd like me to sample your collection of sticks, rocks, and leaves!



Car rides aren't quite my favorite thing yet, but I'm getting braver every day. As for treats, I'm not too picky — peanut butter, mango, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, and even ice cubes are all at the top of my snack list.



I'm looking for a family that has time for play, patience for puppy training, and lots of room in their hearts (and laps) for snuggles. Could that be you?
