Matty's Heart & Soul Animal Rescue

Matty's story:I started to see Matty's picture posted on the MG Impound Dogs page in late October of 2012. Matty and his "mate", Athena, were in jail for bite quarantine. They were playing and a lady got scratched by either a tooth or a claw, and they could not determine by which dog. The owners knew Athena and Fatty (Matty's actual name from owner, Cheryl changed it because he was no Fatty) were there, but they didn't have the funds to pay for fees and vetting. Athena was rescued. From the time I saw Matty's picture, the one where he is sitting on Cheryl's shoes, I knew I needed him. I asked numerous big and small rescues if they would please pull Matty for me. Their answers were all the same, we have a blue Pit Bull you can adopt. No, it had to be Matty! Matty's time was coming near and they scheduled a euthanasia date. I was in tears daily. Finally, though, last minute, the day before he was to be killed, Amber from One of a Kind Pet Rescue said she would pull him for me! I was ecstatic! I picked Matty up from the impound on January 2nd, 2013. He wasn't perfect, but he was perfect for me...and he didn't become a statistic....he is truly my heart & soul. He brought Cheyenne and I out of a deep depression over losing Teddy, my Chow Chow, to Lymphoma. Matty started my learning journey into rescue. I havent been in very long. I have held many roles ( vetting, intake, foster, events and fundraising coordinator to just name a few) in the rescues I have been in, and I have fostered about 100 puppies. I was blinded, ignorant of all that was happening prior to Matty. My blinders were lifted, Matty and I, with some friends would like to make a bigger impact. Help more dogs and cats find their second chance at love and life just like Matty did. Wont you help us?Matty's Heart & Soul Animal Rescue. Mission is to bring hope back to the discarded, abandoned, neglected, and abused dogs and cats, and provide them with all they need in a loving foster family until they find their perfect forever home. To be their voice and right all wrongs.

Meet Pepito

Pepito found himself unwanted and on death row in a high kill shelter in West Texas.  He loves adult humans, he can be dog selective. No cats or kids.  He is typical JRT and has energy and needs to be kept busy.  All dogs and puppies require supervision and training.Pepito is a very sweet Jack Russell Terrier mix who is about a year and a half old. He is fully grown and weighs only 22 pounds. Pepito can be dog selective, especially with larger dogs. He would be best with a home that has a dog near his size or is the sole dog. The energy of smaller children frightens him, so that should be avoided. He walks well on a leash, is kennel trained, and is a great cuddler and gives the best hugs. First priority will go to someone who lives in the twin cities metro in order to bring to a vet visit as needed.  Please put in your application on our website mattysheartandsoulanimalrescue.rescuegroups.org.      

Adoption Process
Prior to adoption, candidates will need to fill out an application, we will conduct a background criminal check, vetting reference check, home visit, and a meet & greet to ensure proper fit.
