Matty J is a 1-year-old Shih Tzu with a now short black-and-tan coat and a sassy streak that will keep you smiling! Weighing in at 16 lbs, this neutered cutie is house-trained, loves car rides, and gets along wonderfully with kids and other dogs—he’s a social superstar.

True to his unique personality, Matty J likes to stick his tongue out at the world, giving him a quirky and endearing look that matches his playful nature. While he’s not the biggest fan of being groomed, his charm and loving spirit make it well worth the effort to keep him looking dapper.

Matty J is highly food-motivated (treats, anyone?) and full of curiosity, making training and bonding a breeze. However, he’s also a clever little escape artist, so a secure yard or leash walks are a must to keep this adventurous boy safe.

Found as a stray, Matty J is ready to leave his wandering days behind and settle into a loving forever home. Could that be with you?

We at Tired Dog Rescue strive to find homes for dogs in need, build quality relationships with responsible owners, and preserve current dog-family homes by seeking solutions to financial, behavioral, and situational dog problems. We believe the lives of homeless, abandoned and abused dogs are just as precious as dogs that currently have a loving home. We believe that all dogs deserve a loving home despite their age, medical condition and/or disabilities. We provide whatever medical care is needed regardless of cost. All dogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm negative and current on vaccinations before being placed.
