Meet Mattie – Your Quiet Little Shadow! Mattie is an 18-month-old Maltipoo with a tender heart and a gentle soul. This sweet girl is looking for a calm, understanding home where she can continue to grow in confidence at her own pace.
Mattie is very timid and can be frightened by sudden movements or loud noises. Because of this, she would do best in a peaceful home with older, respectful children who understand the importance of moving slowly and giving her space when she needs it.
She would absolutely thrive with a patient, confident mentor dog. Mattie takes comfort in other dogs and would love a furry friend who doesn't mind if she snuggles up close — or even lays right on top of them! Having that steady canine presence helps her feel safe and secure.
Mattie is doing well with her house training. She consistently goes outside and has only had accidents on her pee pads. With continued routine and gentle encouragement, she will keep making progress. She is not destructive at all and does not tear things up — she's a very respectful little lady in the home.
She ignores cats and coexists peacefully with them. On walks, she's still learning how to feel confident on a leash, so a securely fenced yard is a must for her safety and comfort.
Mattie will happily follow you from room to room and prefers to stay close by your side. She isn't overly cuddly or demanding of lap time — she simply wants to be near her person, finding comfort in your presence without constantly needing to be held.
If you have a quiet home, a fenced yard, and a kind-hearted dog willing to show her the way, Mattie could be the perfect addition to your family. With patience, love, and reassurance, she will blossom into the most loyal little companion. bcaaofnj.org
