[ THE MOST PERFECT BOY ]

6 weeks ago we welcomed 5 year old Peanut to Mattie's Place. The best boy, truly.

Polite and kind. Great blend of independence and please rub my belly.

He, as so many of the other Frenchie's we've welcomed, had super pinched nostrils so breathing was a challenge with airflow restriction or nostril colapse when inhaling.

French Bulldogs already have abnormalities of their upper respiratory system and they can easily find themselves in respiratory crisis, so I believe the ethical thing to do is give them the best chance at airflow, so Peanut had surgery to open up his pinched nostrils.

He also needed all his vetting brought up to date, including a neuter, as he had never seen a vet prior to his arrival to rescue. But he was a stud for a backyard breeder and made them $1,000's & $1,000's & $1,000's. The breeder has since closed and all the dogs in their care were surrendered to rescue.

Today, Peanut celebrates a special day! His adoption day!! His new parents were so excited to officially welcome him home and they are embracing Frenchie life!

Congratulations Peanut. You've been a gem.

Thank you Katie for fostering another Mattie's Place dog. I appreciate you so much.

[ WITH GRATITUDE .... ]

Thank you Snickers & family for sending some cleaning items from the Mattie's Place Amazon list.

For most dogs & especially with puppies, I always send cleaning supplies to fosters, because, well, accidents happens. Especially the first couple weeks when canine & human are getting to understand routines and where to actually potty.

Appreciate your support!

[ AND JUST LIKE THAT .... ]

Italian Greyhound Ross along with his sister (Rachel/adopted) joined Mattie's Place in May after a tragic loss of their owner.

The extended family said they were a bonded pair, so they were put into foster care together, but being bonded was furthest from the truth. They tolerated one another, but really didn't like one another. Rachel was especially unkind to Ross and often bullied him.

Ross was morbidly obese arriving with a weight of 24 pounds. He went on a weight loss journey and dropped 1/2 his body weight with a reduced calorie diet, low calorie treats and lots of exercise and is an ideal Iggy weight now.

Ross' teeth were mostly missing due to poor oral health and the remaining teeth were quite rotten so they were removed on his arrival to Mattie's Place along with getting his vetting care up to date to get him back to healthy.

He's been a really Mattie's Place representation. Even having an opportunity to hang out backstage when Kendrick Lamar & SZA were playing in Toronto.

⏩⏩⏩ FAST FORWARD 4.5 MONTHS FROM ROSS & RACHEL'S ARRIVAL:

1 week ago Rachel joined her for-always family in the USA.

Today, is Ross's turn. Except, Ross doesn't even have to leave the couch, as his foster family has officially adopted him!

His adopter, Denise W, has been fostering countless dogs with Mattie's Place since 2022 and also fostered then adopted; Bella (RIP), Benson & Jasmine. Ross now joins those stats & is a very lucky boy!

Congratulations Ross on being home.

MATTIE'S PLACE COST: $1,267.20

[ MAYSON NEEDS MORE DOG FOOD ]

Mayson has been with Mattie's Place for 4.5 months now. I continue to purchase and ship food for him, which is an added expense to the rescue.

Hoping to send a few bags of food to him, recently donated, to hopefully get him to the point of adoption.

How much longer can an exceptional dog sit in rescue waiting for a good applicant to come along?

If you can assist with driving a few bags of dog food to Ottawa, please email: [email protected]

[ DUDLEY UPDATE ]

Good boy Dudley (light colour), that was abandoned at a Toronto dog park in July and adopted in August has settled into his new life beautifully.

He continues to be the kindest dog with zero behaviour concerns. Also, no medical concerns, not even those pesky allergies so many golden's have.

His weight loss journey has been amazing and he went from a THICC 163 pounds to a much healthier 109 pounds and he's almost at the finish line on weight loss, we think.

His family loves him deeply and he is forever safe with them, living a life of blue skies, welcoming trails and river swims.

These happy endings are what keeps Mattie's Place going each day!
