Matthew now Harley

Matthew went to his forever home on February 17, 2008.

tony emailed us and matthew- now Harley - is doing well.

Matthew was adopted by Tony of Pensacola, FL and will also have a 4 year old boy to play with him. Thanks to Cheryl High (sister of the director of the Humane Society of South Mississippi) for getting him directly into our program so we could find him a good home. Thanks to Mickey Tener who did the application and gave Tony high praise as a wonderful person to care for Matthew. Tony drove the 2 hour and 20 minute drive to meet Matthew with the big storms we had today. Matthew was the perfect dog when Tony arrived, didn't jump up, was great with the young children. He even jumped right into his new crate. Best wishes to the new families!

Here is Matthew:

In late January 2008, Matthew wandered the streets of Gulfport and adopted a family with two dogs living in a FEMA trailer next to their house that they are renovating. He is around one year old, gorgeous form and super personality. The family could not find his owner or keep him so he is now in GSGRR foster care. Although slightly HW+, and a case of hookworms being treated, he appears to be in excellent health. The vet said he has the heartbeat of a long-distance runner and Heartguard should clear up the HW's in a few months. He is smart, attentitive and willing to learn anything. He loves to be with people and other dogs. He can get out of a fenced yard that has a way to go under or jump a low fence but he does not run off. He will be neutered on Feb 4th. He is thin at 68# and should fill out nicely.

He loves to run and play. He is friendly and needs a little manner-training (likes to jump up a little) but is mostly a calm dog. He is crate trained and housebroken.
