Owner Info: DOB 4/9/2006. Mattie is a very handsome puggle whose owners are disabled and are unable to pick him up to take him outside or to the vet. In the summer, they live in the woods and this poses a hazard to Mattie. This is a very difficult decision for them and they love him very much, but they are unable to "take care of him the way he will need". The cause of Mattie's blindness is not known, but their vet told them he was blind, and they cannot afford to see an ophthalmologist. They write that Mattie is currently in good health, but a little overweight. Mattie is an indoor dog with run of the house, he is housebroken and leash trained. He knows sit, stay, and come! Mattie is good with people of all ages and both male and female dogs, and cats! He currently lives with a cat now. Mattie has never shown any aggression, and is not possessive of toys, treats, or food. Mattie's owners say that he adapts well to new situations, and write, "Previously when we have gone away Mattie has stayed with friends and family and has always adapted very well. He fits in very well with other families." They want us to know that Mattie is a special boy. They write,, "We love Mattie very much and this is very difficult for us and him. We do not want to give him up, but we don't see any other options. We want the best for him."
