Mathias

My story

Hi, I`m Mathias! I`m a pretty great mix of energetic and chill, and I love to be close to my humans. I am a goofy guy in a small package with tons of love and fun to go around!I’m a bit of a snuggle bug and love being close to you—whether it’s curled up on the couch or burrowing under the blankets. I love my humans and can be sweet and affectionate, giving little kisses when I`m in the mood. I sleep soundly in the bed and don’t destroy anything when I’m left alone in my fosters home, oh and I`m perfectly housebroken. But don`t let that fool you—I do get jealous if I hear you talking sweet to my feline roommate. Still, I’m no threat to her! She holds her ground and has even swatted me a few times.Other dogs? Well, I’m a bit of a work in progress. I don’t love them at first sight—I might bark and lunge a little, but with patience, I sometimes relax, especially if I have a chance to get to know them. I’ve met a few dogs, and I did okay as long as I was close to my human. But I get along with smaller dogs like corgis, so maybe I could learn to be okay with a dog sibling if we were introduced the right way, but I prefer to be the only dog if possible! I`m fine with kitties though!When I meet new people, I get excited and interested, and I`ve even met some kids under 10 and liked them! Oh, and if you have any cheese cubes or a little scrap of food, I`m all in. (Though I`m on a strict diet, so I have to be careful with that.) My walks at Piedmont Park are my absolute favorite, and I get super pumped when you ask, `Is it time to go outside?` I get so excited to go on car rides too! I’m looking for a family who’s home a lot, can keep me on my special diet, and is prepared for some future medical care—like possibly surgery if my bladder stones come back. it has been hard for me to find my forever home due to that, but I know my person is out there. I prefer to hang out with my people 24/7 if possible, I just love attention! Just be ready for some snuggles and maybe a little jealousy!
