Chase Matthews
Dogs – Let's meet!
Cats – He'd prefer a kitty-free home
Kids – Yes
Chase may have a sporty name, but he is happy to leave the chasing to everyone else. Balls don't do much for him, and he would much rather spend his days being a sweet, easygoing old gentleman with the cutest little face you've ever seen.
Our grooming team adores him. He followed one of our groomers right up to the tub for treats, and after his bath, she swears he pranced out of the salon. Another groomer had him keep her company while she cleaned up, and he was perfectly content just to be near someone.
Chase knows sit, takes everything in stride, and is a big fan of fluffy bedding. A soft spot to snooze and someone to keep him company is about all he asks for. This sweet old man is ready to trade the shelter for a cozy bed of his own, so come say hello before someone else snaps him up!

Not Quite Ready To Adopt?
You can make an immeasurable impact by opening your home and your heart to an animal in need. Fostering is a great opportunity to introduce a pet into your home without making a lifelong commitment. Many of our foster humans end up adopting their fostered animals, but many also choose to just provide the temporary shelter and love our animals need to get through a trying time.
