Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Meet Matty, a sweet and gentle soul with a heart full of love. At 13 years old, Matty has a quiet wisdom about him, but he’s also full of the little joys that make senior dogs so special. Relinquished by his previous owner who could no longer care for him, Matty is now looking for a home where he can spend his golden days surrounded by love, comfort, and companionship.
Matty may be partially blind due to cataracts, but he doesn’t let that slow him down. He’s a confident explorer who delights in life’s simple pleasures—sniffing around the yard, enjoying leisurely walks, or curling up on a soft bed. His nose always knows where the treats are hidden, and his favorite spot is right next to you on the couch, soaking up all the cuddles he can get. Matty has a calm, charming personality, but he also has a spark of playfulness that shines through when he’s feeling extra cozy and loved.
He’s great with other dogs and friendly with everyone he meets—people of all ages instantly fall for his roly-poly sweetness. Matty’s personality is a blend of warmth, curiosity, and affection. He’s not the type to demand constant attention, but his presence fills a home with quiet joy and love.
Matty’s recent vet visit revealed a large mass in his spleen, about the size of a grapefruit. Thankfully, it hasn’t spread to other organs, and Matty isn’t in any pain right now. However, this is a terminal condition, making Matty a hospice case. He’s on a blood clotting supplement to support his health, and we’re dedicated to making sure his remaining time is as happy and comfortable as possible.
Matty still has plenty of life and love to share. He’d thrive in a calm, caring home with an adopter who has experience with senior dogs and isn’t away for long hours. He’s the kind of dog who will quietly follow you from room to room, content to be by your side, whether you’re reading, watching TV, or simply enjoying a peaceful moment.
What Matty truly needs is someone to love him unconditionally, to show him that his life matters, and to give him the happy ending he so deeply deserves. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this incredibly special boy, please inquire today! Matty is waiting, and he’ll make every moment with him unforgettable.

More about this rescue
Pug Nation Rescue of Los Angeles is a registered 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue, care, and placement of abandoned, neglected, unwanted, displaced, and abused pugs. Our goal is to find every homeless pug a forever home; if we cannot do that, we pledge to provide a comfortable and loving place for sick or unwanted pugs to live out their lives. Our Board of five and numerous volunteers are passionate about Pug Rescue and live by our motto of “One Pug at a Time”. We feel that through our efforts we can change many of these forgotten Pug’s lives. In order to find our Pugs a home as soon as possible, we hold at least three adoption fairs a month and also organize a number of fundraising events, including the annual Pugtacular festival and Legendary Bingo at Hamburger Mary’s in West Hollywood. These events and on-line fundraising have provided the money to help pay for vet treatments, medicine and loving care at our Pug Station. We rely on the generosity of our supporters through donations and participation in our fundraising activities. If you would like to make a donation, find out about the next event, become a volunteer, foster, or adopt your own rescue pug, you are in the right place! You can also follow us on Facebook and twitter, there is always something going on and new pugs needing your help.
