Matrix Mixed Breed Fredericksburg, VA

Approximate Age: 5 years old
Approximate Weight: 85lbs

Hi! Im Matrix, but in my foster house I have a lot of nicknames like Tank, Wally the Walrus and my favorite, Big Dog. I am the definition of Gentle Giant. I want to be around you all the time. You’re on the couch? I’m on the couch. You’re in the bathroom? I’m in the bathroom. I need to make sure my people are always doing okay and if I can sense you might be upset or worried, I like to get reeeaaaaalllly close to you and lean on you for some good supportive snuggles. Do you have kids in your house? Because I LOVE kids. I’ve even been known to play nanny and sleep in their rooms at night to make sure they’re safe. I get along great with other dogs and cats, too! My foster brother is a very high-energy hound and he always wants to play, but that doesn’t annoy me. My house manners are perfect and I walk well on a leash- but because I’m so big and strong, I should only be walked by a grown-up for the time being. I’m a picky eater and don’t care much for treats, but if it looks like you’re enjoying your food- then I’m interested in it too ?
Please come meet me. I already know that I’ll love snuggling with you!!!!


You can still come adopt me or even join our foster program to help the humans learn all the awesome things about new dogs like me! Learn more on our website!

Hope to see you soon!

What breed am I? Mixed mutt! ODHS does not breed label (unless there’s official paperwork), as studies show it is nearly impossible to tell the exact breed of each dog based off of their appearance.

Please remember to bring a martingale collar and leash (non-retractable) with you the day of the adoption.
