This handsome gentleman is Matey who is 10 years young. He is neutered, microchipped and vaccinated.

We were contacted by a dog ambulance service who had taken him in for the police after he had been found sleeping on the bed with his mum who had passed away. Apparently he had lost his dad a few months previously.

Matey had been with them since a pup and had been treated like a child according to the neighbours. He had not had much exercise in a long time as you can probably guess from his photo! He was very stressed when he first came in but has settled now next to a bitch.

The kennels say Matey is extremely strong on the lead but not surprised as he has not been used to walking on a lead for a very long time. Other than that he is a real perfect, loving gentleman, a real pleasure. Ever so loving with a big heart.

Matey would be best as the only dog as he has had little socialisation in his life. Could you give him a retirement pad?

Matey is now in his forever home and settled well.

Matey has gone to Rainbow Bridge. The poor lad had cancer of the spleen.
