About Matey

Ahoy there! My name's Matey, a 1-year-and-7-month-old Australian Kelpie full of energy and spirit. Sadly I have spent almost TWO YEARS without a home or family to love and adore me. I recently spent some time in foster care and loved having a family of my very own, it has made me realise exactly what I am missing.

I'm a guy who loves to be active and on the go, so a high-energy lifestyle suits me best. I'm looking for a human who's home most of the time, as I'm a bit of a social butterfly and I love company. Now, I'm not one for small talk - or small pets, for that matter. I'd do best in a single-dog household with no small pets around.

I have gained some life skills while I have been out in foster and have learnt what a home is like and what my humans need from me. I would do best with a guardian who has experience with training dogs, as I still have much to learn, but don't stress I am a smart boy who loves to please and learn. I would thrive in a home with older children, those who can provide me with the love and the patience I need, then I promise to be your loyal companion in all your adventures.

Come say Ahoy to me, Matey, your potential new best friend! I've got my paw ready to shake on our future together.
