When rescuers finally found him, they knew he needed urgent help. His fur had become so matted that it pulled against his skin and made even simple movement difficult.
Under careful veterinary care, the mats were removed and Matt’s fragile body was finally free. Beneath all that weight was a dog who had survived far more than anyone should.
Now in foster care, Matt is slowly learning that hands can be gentle and voices can be kind. His scars remain, but they no longer define him — his story is becoming one of rescue, healing, and a new beginning.
