More about Matcha

  Matcha is a tiny Yorkie mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Since arriving in foster care, she has completely come out of her shell—this once‑shy girl is now confident, playful, and full of joy. She zips off the tops of furniture, chases toys with enthusiasm, chews happily on her doggy bones, and absolutely adores her foster sister. When playtime is over, she transforms right back into a master cuddle bug and the best little buddy you could ask for. She’s gentle, affectionate, and eager to please, with a sweet, loyal nature that makes her easy to love. Matcha is fully potty trained, walks nicely on a leash, and rides well in the car. She knows several commands—Sit, Come, Stay, Down, Leave It, Go Potty, and more—and she’s a smart little lady who enjoys learning. She can be cautious with new people at first, but she warms up quickly and bonds deeply. Matcha is crate trained and sleeps quietly through the night without accidents, though she may bark a bit when first settling in. She’s low‑energy, slightly active, and an ideal companion for someone who wants a calm, loving dog who’s always happy to snuggle. She does well with dogs (especially similar‑sized friends), is good with kids, and is gentle with adults of all ages. Her long, soft coat is low‑shedding and hypoallergenic. She’s playful, goofy, intelligent, and incredibly sweet—truly the perfect little companion. Matcha will steal your heart in an instant and bring warmth, comfort, and joy to her forever home. Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.   ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***
