Mattie

I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog H:3Mattie is a gorgeous shepherd mix with soft, pettable fur and the cutest set of "bounce ears" that perk up and down when she runs. This playful girl has a joyful, bouncy energy that's impossible not to fall in love with. Watching her hop and skip while chasing balls is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face! Mattie adores a good game of fetch-though she likes to make it a fun challenge by dropping the ball just out of reach and zooming off for round two. She's clever, already knows "sit" and "down," and takes treats gently, making training sessions enjoyable and rewarding. When she's not playing, Mattie loves exploring her surroundings with her nose. She's a curious, sniffy adventurer who would thrive with an adopter ready to provide her with both physical exercise and mental enrichment. Mattie enjoys meeting people and has been described as social and sweet. She may need some help polishing her leash manners and curbing her excitement jumps, but her eagerness to learn and her love for treats make her a quick study. Mattie could be a great match for a home with appropriately matched dogs who love to play chase or as a solo dog with some canine friends for playdates. She's looking for an active, loving adopter who will help her channel her energy into fun, positive activities and continue her training journey. If you're ready to welcome this bouncing bundle of joy into your life, come meet Mattie today! She can't wait to make you smile. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Walnut (@walnut.wanders)
