[ 4 MONTHS OLD & SWEET PERFECTION ]

Pickle Pockets has been with Mattie's Place 2 months next week.

She was at the vet today for her final vaccine booster and is scheduled for her spay January 2026. She arrived at 10 pounds and today clocked in at 28 pounds! 😅

Though shy initially, she's an absolutely wonderful pup and doing so well growing her confidence.

While waiting for her adopter to find her and to work on her confidence skills, she's been hangin' backstage with the rockstars; Hoozier, Lainey Wilson & Shawn Mendes.

[ ADOPTION: A PATH TO HEALING ]

Green Bean joined Mattie's Place a few weeks ago, with his brother String Bean (adopted)

4 months old. He couldn't be a kinder or more sweet boy if he tried. He's such a special boy and needed to find an equally special adopter.

Green Bean has been doing great since arriving to Mattie's Place. At his arrival vet appointment, September 25th, he weighed in at 5.2 KG / 11.5 pounds. Saturday, at his vaccine booster appointment he weighed in at 9 KG / 20 pounds. He's a growing boy!

Applications came in for handsome, good boy Green Bean but one stood out. A family that had to recently say good-bye to their cherished family pet after more than a decade together. Heartbroken but missing canine companionship, they submitted an application.

They were the most perfect applicants and we moved the adoption process forward. Lucky for Green Bean, today, he is officially adopted by these wonderful people. And lucky for the family to welcome this awesome pup home.

Congratulations to all! This is where healing begins and I'm certain Piper is so happy you're opening your heart to another.

Thank you to the Osse family for fostering Green Bean.

ADOPTION FEE: $774.34 + $100.67 (HST) = $875
MATTIE'S PLACE COST: $1,036
(includes 3 rounds of vaccines / 3 rounds of deworming / 2 rounds of parasite prevention / 1 bag of puppy food, p*e pads and aggressive chewer puppy toys / neuter in January / new gear as he out-grew his original gear.

[ DENTAL HEALTH ]

Blue Jeans, now 6.5 months old, joined Mattie's Place in July & was adopted by his foster family last month.

Today, he was in for his neuter.

As we mention often in posts, with dogs going in for spays|neuters, turns out they also have retained deciduous teeth that had to be surgically removed during spay|neuters appointments.

Blue Jeans had 1 deciduous tooth surgically removed today (left upper canine). It's the really long tooth that was never going to come out without surgical intervention and would have caused bigger issues in time. The 2 other teeth (maxillary premolars/molars) were super lose and ready to fall out, as the roots were reabsorbed, as they were supposed to do, so we gave them a little help to easily drop on their own today without surgical intervention.

🦷 WHAT ARE DECIDUOUS TEETH? 🦷

Deciduous teeth are baby teeth. In total, there are 28 small, sharp, shark like teeth that erupt by 8 weeks of age. In theory, they are supposed to all fall out and are replaced with a full set of 42 adult teeth by 6-7 months old.

🦷 WHAT ARE RETAINED/PERSISTENT DECIDUOUS TEETH? 🦷

A persistent or deciduous tooth is a baby tooth that is still in place when an adult tooth has erupted. This becomes problematic because the baby tooth now occupies the spot that is meant for the adult tooth, forcing the adult tooth to erupt in an abnormal position, often side by side with the baby tooth.

🦷 WHY ARE RETAINED/PERSISTENT DECIDUOUS TEETH A PROBLEM? 🦷

🩹 No 2 teeth should be in the same location at the same time. This leads to food being trapped between the crowded teeth leading to faster tooth decay over time.

🩹 Teeth contacting other teeth inappropriately can lead to abnormal wear and weakening of the teeth leading to tooth fractures, interference with the normal growth and development of the jaw and/or oral soft tissue pain and infection.

✅ Your puppy should check in with your veterinarian around 7 months of age for a quick oral health check-up and if there are any retained or persistent deciduous teeth, you should follow your vets advice on next steps.

[ FROM Lainey Wilson TO HOME ]

3 weeks ago, String-Bean (in his Mom's arms) joined Mattie's Place, along with his brother Green-Bean. They were Ontario owner surrenders, that joined us via a rescue transfer.

Great puppies, now 4 months old. So amazingly gentle and sweet with incredible personalities.

While doing a backstage event for Lainey Wilson, String-Bean opted to snooze on one persons chest the entire 2 hours we were there. He was so content as was the recipient of his cuddles.

She couldn't stop thinking about String-Bean and eventually applied for him. In a twist of fate, she previously adopted a dog, her current resident dog, from the rescue that String-Bean was transferred from to Mattie's Place.

This weekend, String-Bean got to resume his cuddles as he has officially been adopted by the person he loved on for 2 hours backstage at Lainey Wilson. It was love at first sight for both of them and just meant to be.

Congratulations String-Bean on being home!

Thank you Whitney & family for fostering little man.

[ LOTS OF LOVE TO GIVE & RECEIVE ]

Mystical joined Mattie's Place with her sister Magical, 3 weeks ago as an owner surrender. It's said, though I'm not convinced, that their parents are husky/chihuahua.

They went straight to the vet where they were overnighted so they could get parvo testing completed and mega deworming done. The next day, now fully up to date medically, they joined their foster homes.

Mystical has been an absolute treat. A really sweet girl, as is her sister. Nice, nice puppies.

I'm thankful the applications poured in for them & I'm happy to announce this sweet plum is officially adopted!

She joins a home with lots of dog experience. They currently have a resident Samoyed who is not pictured as she was WAY TOO EXCITED to take a photo with a new puppy friend, but she is going to be an amazing mentor to Mystical.

With a large family adopting her, there will be no shortage of love given, which Mystical loves!

She will start puppy training soon and her people are dedicated to ensuring she grows up to be the best canine friend to all.

Congratulations Mystical on being home!

Thank you to the Chandler family for fostering.

[ URGENT FOSTER NEEDED ]

If you can assist with fostering, please complete a foster application today as he is urgent.

I'll be in touch if you're a foster match.

Preference given to those in the GTA so I have easy access for vet appointments.
