Matty 11-331 [1]

October 17, 2011

Guess what you get when you mix-up a little Golden, a little Lab, a little Spaniel, and possibly a dash of Jack Russell Terrier??? You GET a Matty Pie!!! Well, were not sure of the exact ingredients in this girl but you can be sure she’s the perfect blend of something!

Please WELCOME our newest RAGOM Girl Ms. Matty! Matty blew in from the far north late last night (Thank you Ross for the looooong journey and for bringing Matty safely into RAGOM) and after a pretty smooth introduction to the Pack…a couple lip curls when the boys got in her face…but after awhile, the lip curl turned in to licks of love and all has been good ever since.

What we know so far about this Cutie Pa-Tootie:

• Matty is a 2 yr. old, 60lb, female Golden MIX, who was found as a stray by a rescue group way up north. Shortly after she was placed in a foster home, Mattie gave birth to a nice little litter of pups. All Mattie’s pups have since been adopted out by a Rescue and so RAGOM’s help was enlisted to help find Momma Matty a GReat home of her very own. And you know we will!
• Matty is in VERY good health overall and is Heartworm NEGATIVE! We are waiting on stool results.
• Matty LOVES people---she is a TOTAL SNUGGLE BUG!
• Matty is very playful and her tail never stops wagging J

• Matty is compact, solid, lean, and gorgeous. Quite a figure for Post Puppies!

• Matty was obviously trained by someone at sometime…she is a hunting girl---no bunnies will be safe in our yard that’s for sure. She seems to have good recall and knows “sit,” “stay,” & "shake.”

I’ll get ‘em FM!

• Matty is good with her crate. Will sleep in it with the door open or closed. We crate her at night and while we are away. She slept through the night without a peep on her very first night!

• Matty is not totally potty trained…but she is doing well considering she’s been living outside with access to a shed for shelter for the last six months (without a fence) and was a stray before that. It was mentioned that Mattie didn’t like the house and wouldn’t come inside---but she has had NO problem enjoying the comforts of the home. Her doggie bed is her favorite so far!
• Matty is all up to date with her shots and is being scheduled for her spay so as soon as that is complete, she will be ready for adoption---BUT we are ready to meet applicants now so don’t be shy!

Please stay tuned for more on Matty Pie! If you would like to meet Mattie---please let your Placement Advisor know! Depending on her spay schedule…we are planning to attend the “Meet & Greet” at Chuck & Don’s--Bloomington Event this Sunday…stay tuned....
