Mattie (TX) is a female mixed breed pup rescued in Texas. Our veterinary partner estimates that Mattie is 3 years old at the time of intake in October 2021. Mattie is good with people and other dogs.  Our hearts broke in two when we saw Mattie living in a backyard laden with heavy chains attached to a choke collar.  The only time Mattie wasn't being choked by her collar was when she was lying in the dirt birthing or feeding litter after litter of puppies. The neglect and abuse was shocking.  Fortunately, we were able to get Mattie out of there and off that chain, and she will never, ever be chained again.  Mattie was anxious to get herself cleaned up for her forever family, so she had a spa day and now she's ready!  Mattie needs a forever family who can give her a life that will make up for the horrific life Mattie has had thus far; a life where she is loved and cherished as a member of her family, where she will sleep in a soft bed rather than dirt, where she will hear kind words and soft touches and kisses every day.  If you can give Mattie that life, please apply online to adopt Mattie (TX) at www.rescuedogsrocknyc.org.    RDR's adoption fees include the cost of spay/neuter/microchip at an RDR-approved facility, whether completed before adoption or if deferred because the pet is too young or has a medical issue.  All pets are also current on age-appropriate vaccines at the time of adoption.  Given technical constraints on this database, this pet's location may not be as listed here. We can, however, provide transport support for pets in foster at a considerable distance from the adopter.
