Get all the tea with Matcha, our Pet of the Week!

This young pittie girl came to us in mid-July. At almost 50 pounds, Matcha is considered a medium to large breed dog.

When she first got to the Pet Adoption Center, she was pretty shy and nervous. Since then, she’s had a chance to show her true colors! While Matcha can still be unsure of new people and situations, she is super treat motivated – snacks are definitely the way to her heart! Once she gets to know you, Matcha is a very sweet and affectionate girl.

Matcha is just over a year old, so she still has a lot of puppy energy. She gets the zoomies and loves to play! She’s also very “bouncy,” and can almost clear a fence – so she will need to be well-supervised in a yard, or taken out on a leash. Matcha will do best in an adults-only home, or perhaps one with older children, who can keep her adventurous side safely contained.

Ready to make a match with Matcha? She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. As our Pet of the Week, her adoption fee is reduced, though a pet license fee may apply. Her adoption comes with many benefits, including a $40 credit toward training through our partners at Rover. In addition, all adopters from RASKC can can benefit from enrolling their new pet in Fetch Pet Insurance. Fetch offers the most comprehensive plan in North America with no restrictions on breed, age, or size. Together, we’re making sure pets are happy and healthy in their new forever homes.
